[QUOTE="sCriv, post: 946027, member: 79972"] Very good points, but, turning back to Rugby for a second, this still makes it close to impossible to compare players from different generations for me. If the players from the 60's/70's etc had all of the tools that the modern players do, that wouldn't necessarily mean that they would still be at the same level. Isn't the modern game now even more competitive than ever, with fewer and fewer academy players making the grade than back in the day? The point is we're dealing with the realms of "what ifs" rather than actual facts. Decent argument but I'm still not convinced. [/QUOTE]
