| Yed put this in the VT then it went hugely off topic and went into the usual measuring contest so thought i would put it here as was a good idea and topic.
Quote During the final Jiffy mentioned at certain stages about Briers being intelligent as well as Mike Monaghan and Ryan Hall.
This got me thinking on players over the years, who would you describe as
a) The most intelligent players currently (rugby intelligence) SL and NRL
b) Most intelligent You've ever seen
c) Most intelligent from your team either now or one of your past players.
Briers with me being a Wire and biased in RL terms is simply the most intelligent player in SL for me but i've been blessed to see Alfie who i think he learned quite a lot off.
Alfie always seemed three steps ahead of anyone, even in our own team with Briers seemingly the only one who could keep up with him.'" |

You missed out the most obvious (in my humble obviously); Cameron Smith.

Michael Monaghan, for me has the thing Alfie Langer had, in that when you are in the opposition half, and he has his hands on the ball, he is probably going to make a decision that does damage to the opposition. And the closer he is to their line, the more damaging this decision is going to be!

Great topic.
a) Currently in SL is Briers, Sinfield, O'Loughlin (I know he doesn't have the kicking game, but all round, including defence deserves a shout)
Currently in NRL are Cam Smith (numero uno), Thurston and Benji Marshall
b) Ever seen in flesh playing Alex Murphy, Shaun Edwards, Andy Farrell, and Roger Millward
Ever seen in NRL, Brett Kenny, Wally Lewis, Peter Sterling and Darren Lockyer
c) Wearing the cherry and white, Shaun Edwards (Kenny was brilliant but he only played half a season) Andy Greg was worth a shout but Edwards all round game awareness was better.
Just had a thought on the best ever seen. John Walsh a centre who played for Saints in the late 60's early 70's. Not a lot a pace but a brilliant rugby brain.

Scott Dureau looks like a very intelligent player, he rang rings around us in the league game over there. I don't think we managed anything at all in trying to charge down his kicks other than looking stupid.

Agree with all the RL players listed so far.
Just to throw a spanner in the works, I'd put Stephen Hawking, Richard Branson and David Beckham on a par with regards to intelligence. Discuss.

Lee Briers has one of the finest rugby brains I've ever come across. Having said that, his decision to pass while sitting down in the last 10 minutes on Saturday wasn't one of his finest moments.
