Nothing more than solid but he played origin? Fair enough

Whats your point? Casey Mcguire played origin too.
The same guy who set up a try in the 06 grand final?

Wow. He setup a try. Quick, give him the "Greatest player in the world" mantle...

FFS.

Andrew Gee kicked a 40/20 once. Should he be considered a great kicker?
 
a 40/20? Are you shitting me? Gee?

I thought him playing at FB for about 20 minutes was as far as he got!
 
An average player is shane perry, lol. (ok maybe a bit less then average)

We won despite him being in the team. The guy was useless. That he wore maroon is a crime!

David Stagg played Origin. I wouldn't class him as any more than solid.
Dallas Johnson is a regular in Origin. I wouldn't class him as any more than solid.

Gary Larson.
Billy Moore.

OK, most of them are Queenslanders but I don't pay much attention to poofs in light blue (hence my disinterest in the Titans).....................

On top of that, the 4 blokes you named are all back rowers, their job is to be solid and do all teh work nobody else wants.

De Vere is (was? he played back row friday) a back. Their job is to be flashy, score lots of points etc.
 
Fair call.

Maybe Paul Bowman is a better comparison. Defensive centre who was actually fairly capable in attack but never seen as anything more than solid.
 
Oh, and an indication that you didn't need to be brilliant to play Origin: Stu Kelly! :P

Geez, fair go. The kid got called up to the big time and lived his dream. IIRC he was far from our worst in the two games he played.

Agreed. He was out of his depth, but that's hardly his fault, he still did a good job for the Broncos over the years.
