Well we are taking the battle to new heights... Its the Battle of the NRL Stars...
Before you AFL clowns come in and say were copying, Yeah we are, but you know what... It doesnt matter cause AFL dont count
64 players from 1995-2007 have been selected to take part in the battle, which will leave us with 1.. The greatest NRL Star since 1995..
some people have missed the point with the way we selected the players, we wanted a collection of current stars (Lockyer/Johns/Marshall), up and coming stars (Stewart/SBW/Gallen) and retired stars (Langer/Daley/Stuart).
We also tried to include a lot of the players who did things like won premierships, clive churchill medals, Dally M's etc...
Its hard to put everyone in when chosing only 64.
No we haven't missed the point, the point was clearly stated that we're trying to find the Greatest Star since 1995.
Taylor is currently the 2nd all time leading Point Scorer, won the Rothmans in 96, and led the Bears to the finals 5 years in a row. He HAS to be in there. Seeing as it's one player for another, i suggest
Taylor in for
Orford or
Campbell.
Ryan Girdler holds the following point-scoring records:
Most Points in a Match (Penrith) - 28
Most Goals in a Season (Penrith) - 78
Most Points in a Season (Penrith) - 229
Most Points (Penrith) 1,472

He was also the first man in Rugby League to score the double of 100 tries & 500 goals, only recently joined by Hasem El Maseri. He Also won a premiership with Penrith in 2003, and is 7th on the list of alltime pointscorers. I propse that
Ryan Girdler, be swapped with
Paul Bowman.
Steve Renouf is the alltime leading Try Scorer for the Broncos with 142 tries, in the selected period on 2 occasions he scored 4 tries in the one match, he also scored a hattrick in the 97 SL grand final to lead the Broncos to victory. Known as "The Pearl" for obvious reasons.
Steve Renouf to be swapped for
Tahu or
Hodges
Darryl Halligan - Currently the 3rd all-time leading pointscorer, won the Comp with the Dogs in 95, and played a big part in plenty of wins with his 80% accuracy with the boot. Was also a top class winger.
Darryl Halligan in for
Brett Stewart
more to come later.
