Interested on some of the discussion here. The creative/pivot style position has always been my favourite in rugby league and it is often one that polarises opinion on the players that wear that jersey. The one 'condition' is that you only consider what said player did at five-eighth. If you say Lockyer, for example, you can't use what he did as a fullback at all to back him as a five-eighth.
Thurston. Easily. He's not just the best second receiver after Daley/Fittler, I think he's the best since Lewis.
