[QUOTE="Helmy, post: 543541, member: 54698"] I know that Nonu has been criticised a lot for such a one dimensional looking game, but he's been doing it for roughly ten years now and he's still got that ability to win a match/teams still struggle to deal with him. Apples and oranges, really, but I think Nonu's just as good at making/scoring tries as SBW. SBW also has the benefit of being in the game for a lesser time, meaning it's harder for opposition teams to work him out. I also think for the number of times SBW's magical offload worked, there were nine other times where it didn't. I don't know, like I say, he was definitely a good player, but I don't know if he was as good as the (self generated) hype which followed him. [/QUOTE]
