And yet we blew you off the park and sat in cruise control not breaking a sweat for the second half. Clifford man of the match.

@cowboyman you cant call JT the GOAT.
What has he achieved?
How do you measure his success?
Have a look at what Glen Lazarus achieved in his career for example.

What has he achieved? How about that Dally M medal. He also started a international revolution and brought minnows Tonga to the forefront of international rugby league. Two things Lazarus never did.
Seems people like stats on here. He is punching out stats no forward has ever done on a consistent basis like he is.
Already got a premiership ring to boot as well and wasn’t in a international quality stacked club side like Lazarus was at Brisbane. Granted he took Melbourne to their inaugural premiership much like Taumalolo helped lead for the Cowboys. This all while only just entering his prime now.

Now now. Don’t be going off to early. We saw how that panned out last weekend.

Lazarus took 3 different clubs to their inaugural premiership.
He won 5 Premierships.
Had great success at representative level.
So you cant call JT the Goat until he has done better.
Btw im not calling Lazarus the Goat. Just using him as an example.
cowboyman
Danny 'Bedsy' Buderus
Anyone could walk into that Broncos side to a premiership. They were stacked.
Taumalolo will be a one club player and I’m sure will give the club more success in the future.
Taumalolo is the greatest forward to play the game. Your immortal Joey said he would take Taumalolo over Lazarus only a couple weeks ago.
Taumalolo has had even greater success at international level. The leader of his nation to first beat Australia and England, then notch up another win against New Zealand all in the space of a couple months.
Are we measuring greatness on premiership rings?
In that case Stirling was better then Johns.

Greeter success at international level?
Lazarus won a world cup.
Was also named players player for 2 consecutive Kangaroo tours.
cowboyman
Danny 'Bedsy' Buderus
World Cup success isn’t something to triumph in rugby league. We all know this.
Taumalolo defected from New Zealand and had some other names follow suit believing in him. Then lead his nation to victories over Australia, New Zealand and England for the very first time within 12 months.
From the mouth of Joey. He always said Lazarus was the best go forward in the game but Taumalolo has now gone passed him. Still only 27 entering his prime.
Will be known as the greatest forward to ever grace the field and up there with best ever.

I believe Taumalolo will end up being recognised as the best forward ever, if he continues playing through the rest of his career. But he isn't there yet.
But better than Johns or JT, Sterlo or Lewis, not a chance. Not going to be ever.
It's a funny thing this GOAT. It's rubbish really. There is no, one player that is truly the GOAT, as people can't say they have seen every player. Player of a generation, sure.
And by the end of Taumalolo's career, a few years after, there will be some other forward that they are touting as the GOAT forward.
I think at best, you can say a player is one of the best of all time!

They were stacked before Lazzo got there and had won nothing, he was the catalyst for that first Broncos premiership. He doesn't get the raps he deserves. Having said that, Lolo is on a whole new level as far as a metre eater goes. I haven't seen anything like him. Personally, I still rate Brad Clyde the best lock I've ever seen. A massive work rate and a superb attacking weapon anywhere on the park. Lolo does him for metres and leg drive but doesn't have Clyde's touch of class.

This is the match thread that involved the Cowboys. I see you took the loss well though
Yeah I am aware. But just go back to criticising our players, at least it’s Knights related.
cowboyman
Danny 'Bedsy' Buderus
Discussing Drinkwater v Mann. If that’s not Knights related I don’t know what is. The salt is real with this one.

Taumalolo is only just entering his prime and already shown off being the best metre eater the game has produced. Also one of if not the best on his feet and has the burst of an outside back over 20-40m. You often see him getting away from outside backs when in open space. He is now developing an offload and pass before the line as you can see in the above YouTube video from this year.
Taumalolo’s work rate is insanely underrated. Averaging 21 runs and 30 tackles a game. That’s unheard of especially when you consider how damaging those runs are. Only 27 and has a good 6 years in him at his prime. He will break all sorts of records injuries permitted.
