I'm a union supporter and dont watch much league, but what ive seen of Billy Slater, he has that ingredient that the absolute world greats have, and thats speed of mind. Brian O'Driscoll wasnt the biggest or the fastest but his mind reacted so much quicker than anyone else, he would react quicker to an opportunity than other players, gaining a half second head start, thats all it takes. You can have all the size and speed in the world, but if your rugby intelligence is not quick you will not succeed. Billy sees things ahead of him and calculates quicker what to do. Thats what makes him a great.
One thing nobody mentions about Slater is he caught some dodgy balls. He had great hands other plays would have dropped them at the speed he hit them at.
We love him Billy Slater in PNG...best player
greatest fullback ever to play rugby league
Billy is a legend. Even better he's a QUEENSLANDER 👌 so many no.1's have tried to mould their own game to billy's. Much respect
How can someone dislike this bill is the 🐐 fullback
He was also a grub of a player
Jealousy, underachievers etc etc.

Watched Billy score 4 tries against Manley at Etihad for the Storm in Melbourne, amazing. I come from S Wales UK.
@J G and?
🙏🙏🙏... the man....
that aged well, he DID go into coaching, coaching qld to a win
I honestly believe Billy would have smashed Irvine try scoring record if he stayed injury free. Greatest FB of all time. Not bad for a jockey ;-)
no 1 fullback
The ground he covered. No other fullback cover that muc ground
Billy’s son jake is in my class lol
Please put Corey Oates in the decider. Look how many tries he's made lately. He should be there.
