Who has been the best /worst overseas rugby league player to have played in england and why ?

Question

the best for me it has to be Mal Meninga !and for my dad Tom Van Vollenhoven !

Answer 1

best would have 2 be andrew johns or peter stirling.

Answer 2

Depends what You like really?

I like Kiwis because the produce individual bits of Magic.

Australians On the other hand are Just In a class of their own.

Never has their been a better Centre than Aboriginal Mal Meninga, There have been some close ones to Him,  Steve Renouf ,Jamie Lyon Shontayne Hape to name a few.

Aussie Half Backs have the greatest rugby minds around....  Andrew Johns, Wally Lewis, Allan Langer there is Loads.

Kiwis On the Other Hand Produce Tough Forwards If you remember Meninga you will probably Remember Tawera Nikau A lock forward for Cas.  He was one of my all time faves, Tough, Hard working and skillfull.

Answer 3

Based on reputation and what they delivered on the RL in England domestic competition. The worst would have to be Wally Lewis and Andrew Johns.

Answer 4

Worst overseas player as far as Wigan are concerned has got to be David Vaeliki. I have yet to see the lad have a decent game. He has to be the laziest centre ever to pull on the cherry and white.

Answer 5

Brian Bevan although Im not old enough to remember him.

In recent times I'd have to say Jason Smith/Jamie Lyon.

Its harder to pick the worst, there has been some p**p

Answer 6

I,d have to go for one of the Paul Brothers,how many records do they hold between them

Answer 7

For me the best has to be Tom Van Vollenhoven of St Helens,

the worst has to be Tony SeuSeu ( The brother of Jerry, the NZ International ) who played for Halifax for two months prior to his sacking. This was a sacking from a club who only won 1 out of 26 matches in the season.

Answer 8

gallagher..straight from rugby union to leeds rl(worst)

johnathon davies (best)

Answer 9

I'm a Bulls fan so this is not impartial. Lesley Vainikolo (The Volcano) has an amazing try-scoring record over the past few seasons and has to be one of the greatest overseas wingers. The Paul Brothers have been great servants to English rugby league, and several years ago Henry Paul broke the consecutive goal-kicking record. I seem to remember he kicked 30 on the trot.
