It's always hard to draw comparisons between past and present players but one during Super League era we can possibly consider is between Oli Pratt and Gareth Ellis. Having watched both players in the fledgling part of their career, I would suggest that, at this stage, Oli Pratt is a better player that Gareth Ellis and it's hardly surprising that we are all so excited about his potential. Of course, Gareth kicked on to have a stellar career and we can only hope that Oli gets good fortune to emulate that, but just looking at the first year of two outstanding talents I reckon that Oli is the more complete player. Now it's up to him and his coaches to build a great player.

I agree, but I don't think Ellis would have progressed to the level he did if he'd remained a centre. It definitely suited him to move to backrow Whereas Pratt is a dead set centre or winger. I think he'll be great but I can't imagine he'll be dominating the NRL. But who knows.

Agree Ellis dominated over here and in Ozz Think he is in the all time greats

One thing that Gareth had was a determination to succeed and he put the work in for his achievements.
