Who is the best current non rep NRL player?
Trying to drum up some rugby league talk.
Who do you think is the best NRL player who hasn't played rep footy. (I'll call it Origin or Eng/Aus/NZ)
We'll all talk our current crop. But considering some who've played ahead of him I think Joel Thompson would be up there. He's a much better player than Josh Jackson IMO and I reckon he could fill in for Cordner's role too.

Mitchell Aubusson
Just one of those guys that will always do a job, and you can name him 1-17 and he'll perform

I'll play... Jarrod Croker.

I reckon Thompson is a better player in his best 2 positions tbh.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

For sure, I more went on based on reliability and utility value

Kyle Feldt
Cameron McInnes
Kotoni Staggs
Mitchell Moses
Are all good players that haven't hit origin or the top country teams. Moses and Staggs in the best form at the moment. Staggs would perform well in origin. Moses could go either way. McInnes was carrying the dragons before he got injured.

Re: Who is the best current non rep NRL player?
BJ would one of the names that comes to my mind
His brain snaps are the reason he wont ever play rep footy, but there is absolutely no question in my mind that if every centre in the league lined up and played their PEAK 80 minutes of footy, the only player who could match him for his ability to be impactful and damaging is Latrell Mitchell
Beej at his best is the second best centre in the world
Joel Thompson is a good shout. If there is a statute of limitations Mitchell Pearce is worth a nomination, failed at origin level but no question he's a very, VERY good club halfback and helps his team win

If it weren't for Cam Smith, Friend would have a decade of Origin under his belt.
First players that came to mind when I read the title were Croker, Leilua and Fensom when he was at his best

I would have loved to see Ryan James at his best, rip into SOO. You just know he would have gone a bit mental in that arena.
Of the current batch, Staggs is ready. BJ and Croker unlucky when you consider James Roberts has played 3 origin games and Dugan a couple in the centres.

Re: Who is the best current non rep NRL player?
At his peak, Jake Granville was an outstanding dummy half. Blake Green generally tries his guts out for the Warriors, but is past his prime too. At the other end of the scale, I think Daniel Alvaro was just about to his his peak this season for the Eels.
Joey Leilua goes alright if you don't count his 14 tests for Samoa.
From last season, I was going to suggest Matt Prior, but I completely forgot he played one Origin for NSW in 2018. Very under-rated front rower.
Feldt is a good one. Similar category to Croker. Very reliable, wouldn't let you down, but lacks that x factor that gets you rep jerseys.

Alvaro wasn’t making first grade rounds 1 and 2.

Aubo vs Joel Thompson.
I’m going with Aubusson.
JT lacks physical impact. He gets belted at club level, I couldn’t have him in my NSW team.

Re: Who is the best current non rep NRL player?
Something that is constantly overlooked and ignored, simply because how prominent his shortcomings at rep level have been. I would have been absolutely stoked if we managed to sign him at any point in the last decade (wouldn't mind even now tbh).Botman wrote: ↑March 28, 2020, 8:34 pm BJ would one of the names that comes to my mind
