When he used to play against Saints for FC, he was always a real handful (around the 2005 time), but it doesn't seem like he's done anything since leaving.

Obviously when I hear players from my club mentioned in this light, I want to defend them, but I'll leave them to one side as I'm bound to be a little bias.

From a neutral point of view though, whenever I've seen Bridge (last season mainly) play centre he's looked really classy. He seems to be able to get on the outside of his man very well and has a good step back if needed. He's got the skills and seems robust in the tackle.

Luke Robinson - no wonder you got shut of him.
Jon Wilkin - cheap shot merchant with no talent as far as i can see.

John Wilkin......

Richie Myler too. A good young player who will improve but....mentioned in the same sentence as Tomkins and Eastmond

That made me smile!

every one is entitled to their opinion , maybe i was harsh to mention graham like that , but i do think he is over rated , lets see how good he is when he goes down under
ellis and burgess being the recent benchmarks

Richie Myler, never once made me stand up and think 'wow, this lads a good un'.

Same goes for Ben Harrison, all he does is try to big hit people on the blind side and fails every time.

He never failed against Stu Fielden, that was a cracker.

Agree about Myler. He is a poor mans Danny Mcguire (which takes some doing).

Wilkin is another. Utter rubbish and a media luvvie to boot.

Has won 4 Grand Finals and 5 Challenge Cups, picking up a Harry Sunderland and a Lance Todd along the way.

If only Wigan players were so bad in big games.

Good shout, MASSIVELY overrated.

Check him out compared to Paul Clough (who in my opinion is one of the most under-rated players in SL.)

Come on..even you could see hes not turned up in finals and internationals in the last two or three years.Class player on his day though.

The "Whos best? Myler, Tomkins or Eastmond?" talk from Wire fans is embarrassing.

It is.

Tony Smith's call a couple of weeks ago should put that one to bed once and for all.

A good call on Paul Clough - made as many yards for Saints as Harrison in two less games, made more tackle busts and missed 40 less tackles. Only 13 missed tackles in 24 games is an awesome statistic. Defensively he is right up there - you need that type of player in every successful team. Harrison isn't a bad player, but he seems to get more of the headlines because he plays amongst a pretty dominant and experienced pack, having the luxury of focusing on big hits and producing offloads rather than refining technique.

Both are still far behind Joel Tomkins though as an all round second rower - that lad has come on leaps and bounds this season, but still is underrated in my opinion when you compare the praise that more average second rowers like Westwood have been getting for less productivity (compare the stats for Westwood to J Tomkins - just no comparison).

No question - I see Clough and Harrison more as props than back rowers TBH.

Joel Tomkins is a brilliant talent, as good as his brother IMO in their respective positions. It's very difficult to be such a dominant player at Joel's age in his position.

Heres another one.The new love of Eddies life Jamie Foster..

Why do people insist on comparing stats, they mean bugger all and i am sure most of them are made up anyway. I stopped taking notice of them after the wigan v wire game. The day after that the stats read Gareth Carvell - Errors 1, which was funny as i saw him drop the ball 3 times at least.

Jamie foster is one of the worse players ive seen in a saints shirt all he can do is kick goals looks shockin in defence and lets be honest saints fans hes no jonny lomax or ashurst and thats from a wigan fan hes a there great talents for the future.

Id have to agree about the likes of Brough and Cooke.

But to the poster who said James Graham, well i wish our props were as bad as this lad - he is awesome.

And score tries in wins at Warrington and Wigan of course.

Check out his hands in the build up to KC's winning try at the weekend, he's a classy player and a good finisher.

Don't agree with that I'm afraid.

From what I've seen of him this year, I've been quite impressed.

For me, Rob Purdham always seemed to get over praised. We had far better international forwards than him IMO. Also, I seem to recall Phil Clarke saying Rickie Sheriffe was international class too....

However, and to broaden the debate a bit for us older fan, I never will understand until my last day how Daryl Powell got so many GB caps.

Also, the best bit of "overrating" had to be Hemmings re Wellens. He will NEVER live that down.

Ryan Bailey, Enough said !

Nobody particularly rates him except Leeds fans, so not sure that counts.

I think Jamie Fosters defence has improved a hell of a lot recently seems to be playing well.
Im not a big fan of riley at warrington although that might be just me
Brett hodsgon hasnt impressed this season either.
