    He was one of the best players never to have played for NSW.

    One of the best players never to have played for NSW. But only because of Brad Clyde.

    One of the most underrated players of the last 30 years. Worthy of origin and test football.

    One of the most under-rated players of his time. Should have payed Origin. A good hard footy player without any niggle.
