Game’s top 5 “entertainers” named

Posted by George on October 11, 2010 at 10:10pm

The five greatest ‘Entertainers’ of the past 50 years were announced at the Men of League Gala Dinner a few weeks ago, our boy Jarryd was one of those chosen.

Scary to think he is only 22 and still has the best years in front of him.

I would have had Brett Mullens from the Canberra Raiders in my 5 rather than Billy Slater. Brett Kenny also would have made my top 5 entertainers.

Are you serious Hayne was placed 22 and slater fifth. The ppl that made this list are hopeless. Slaters tries are soooooo boring all he does is score off kicks from the halves. Perosnally I don't seenany skill in that. It's just a simple kick and chase. What's so entertaining about that. I don't see him getting past five players like hayne did. Slaters overrated and a half.

Slater is definitely over rated, Hayne is 100x more exciting to watch. What annoys me more is how much commentators over hype everything Slater does..

Slater is a grub. you take out Cronk and the sook Smith and he has nothing where as our man can score from anywhere anything

No, his age being 22 - our boy was chosen in the top 5 with Slater aswell.

2 current players in a list of 5 all time are currently playing. 4 out of the 5 have played in the last 20 years.
This list has no cred. Its a wank

I had to laugh at the "expert panel of judges", what a crock of shit!

Yeah Mullins should have been in there for sure, he had a patch in his career that was unbelievable!
Clint October 12, 2010 at 9:58am

I totally agree, but he's got Hayne beat on consistency.
