Just noticed the new "criteria".



If it was just players who had played in SL for 2yrs+ i would say Morley for how i went on at the Roosters. But based on SL performances alone, it has to be Kieron Cunningham.

I have subsequently changed the question so it is purely based on SL performances. On this basis Johns and Morley wouldnt be classed as the best ever as they played the best rugby in the NRL.

It's tragic when you have to go into that level of detail for what is a pretty straightforward question.

Going from this points system, Ricky Bibey is a better player than most in super league. This shows the most decorated player and not the BEST player. The most Decorated player to play in Super League was Edwards.



The best player was probably Andrew Johns.

Ryan McDonald widnes

Based on ability in Super League games, Jamie Lyon by a long, long way.

Excluding AJ, i'm saying Scully.



I'd love to say Langer though from a Wire point of view.



the system is flawed.

This was done by rugby league world a year a two ago, think it was best 50 in Superleague. The winner was Kieran Cunningham can,t remember the others.

No Ricky Bibey isnt better than most. The points system is for the most successful player in SL which has clearly been defined in all my posts. Shaun Edwards played for London in SL for 2 seasons and won sod all, not the most decoreted player

That's exactly how it was worded before the question was changed. So yes, originally, it was exactly like your Peter Falk scenario.

Why did the OP confuse the question in the first place with the rubbish scoring table that has nothing to do with best player, and may have little to do with actual success, depending on your criteria (e.g. is the highest points scorer in SL history not to be considered successful, or the highest try scorer, or the longest serving player, or the highest paid, etc?)

Not if you counted SL players per se. Saints have won five SL titles, as have Leeds. That would put us on a par, except that we have won Challenge Cups as well, something Leeds appear to be incapable of doing.
