I'm quite amazed at all these people who think Fittler was overrated. You just have to look at what the Roosters achieved with him, compared to now. they went to grand finals with him, to not being able to make the semis without him, not once have they made it since he retired. the Knights look to have already solved their #7 problem, and Johns has only been retired for 2 or so months (not saying it's a perfect void, but it's one they've stuck with) the Roosters are still trying to find a replacement that has somewhat of an effect Freddy had, and it's been 3 or so years since he retired.
Mundine actually only ever said he was better than Daley at the time in question. He said Daley is running on old legs and I starch him. Which was true. Shane has even agreed with that.
It's a team sport you assclown Mundine never 'beat' Fittler or Daley because it wasn't one-on-one competition The only way to measure these 3 against each other is to look at their stats, which I posted earlier in the thread Mundine comes 3rd in tries, field goals, total points and Grand Final participation :deal Suck it up nuthugger :yep
I know you think you have a sidestep akin to Benji Marshall's but my question was at the end of the post I quoted - indicated by the '?' after it :yep But you've since answered it anyway PS - GO YOU EEGULLZ!!!!!
Actually these figures don't mean a great deal if you don't include games played....a percentage can be applied and it will give us a better guide. :good
And then you can add in games not played due to injury etc, if you really want to get technical about it - say Mundine had played for as long as Daley and Fittler, how many games would you have him sidelined due to injury for? Or maybe we can all just look at the facts and see that the teams Fittler and Daley played in had a hell of a lot more success in getting the chocolates in September than the team Mundine played for. Or even refer to the opinions of the rugby league experts back then - I don't believe I ever heard Ray Warren referring to Mundine as 'arguably the best 5/8 in the world" (or even in the NRL) at the time :yep I also recall Peter Sterling on the Footy Show saying to Mundine's face a week after he announced his retirement from league, that while he thought Mundine was a great player, he didn't display the qualities week in and week out required to be selected at representative level. No doubt we're going to start hearing how Mundine was the highest paid NRL player at the time as some sort of reason for saying he was better than Daley and Fittler, but as we all know, that was Superleague craziness, and he wasn't the only one on that sort of cash anyway.
On this note, I'll spell it our for you: You are ASSUMING that if Mundine had played as many games as Fittler and Daley that he would have scored more tries, more field goals, and participated in more winning grand finals. No doubt you nuthuggers base your opinion on the same fairyfloss thin air stuff you base your opinions on his potential as a boxer. Notice a trend here? Mundine never achieved what Fittler and Daley did in the NRL, but you clowns are all convinced he COULD have. Mundine hasn't achieved as much as Kessler and Calzaghe in boxing but you clowns are all convinced he's shown enough potential to be considered a P4Per :rofl Seems Mundine doesn't actually have to achieve anything, you idiots talk him up enough to make the actually 'doing' part of an achievement totally irrelevant when it comes to Mundine Show some respect to Daley and Fittler you wankers. Mundine didn't stay in the game long enough to deserve to even be mentioned next to these 2 greats, nevermind suggested that he was better, based on a couple of dazzling runs here and there. And BTW, Daley's 1/4 Aboriginal - how was it he was constantly selected as rep 5/8? Wasn't that the reason why Mundine wasn't selected? Because the selectors were racist? Give me a break atsch
Im assuming he would have scored more tries than either of those two but that's aboput all i got for a comeback :yep
Mundine lived a clean lifestyle ie. no drugs, no booze and trained very hard and could very well have been injury free throughout his entire rugby career allowing him to score a bucketload of dazzling tries. The lord of the dance would have done it for his ppl and the homeless child he took under his wings.
