[QUOTE="St Helens RLFC, post: 109921"] Firstly - I was voted that I haven't christened myself that. Secondly - I think the NRL is totally overhyped. The way I look at comparing the two leagues is having a look and a think at how the top teams compare. I think that the overall quality of the NRL is better (our poorer teams wouldn't ever be able to beat the top NRL teams on the day) but that our top teams are a match for yours. Saints are our top team and I do genuinely believe that we are the best team on the planet. We are devastating going forward and crush the life out of teams in defence. I could see Saints winning the NRL. Just Saints though - I do however think that Leeds and maybe Hull FC would make the top 8 but not win it. What does worry me is that our players don't make it over there. Perfectly talented prospects such as Chris Thorman and Mark Edmondson have returned with their tail between their legs yet overrated buffoons like Morley have thrived. The Australian league seems to have more depth but it bores me silly. There's no edge to it. Maybe I feel differently because it's not my country. [/QUOTE]
