Graham was Overrated, and a spoilt brat imho..
Remember one game he ran off at Headingley without any hand shakes, Coz his beloved Saints had lost...!

Moz was a second row in his prime. Only really converted to prop in his Warrington days. Would you really say he's best prop you've seen from his Warrington days?

He became a prop really at Easts, so played essentially three quarters of his career there. But very little of his Leeds career.

Slightly off topic but I have to say that the way Kev is focusing on the culture at the club has to be applauded.

We might need one or two mavericks to take us up a level but this side seems committed and hard working.

Looking back it’s easy to see turmoil and issues at Leeds. Craig Innes wasn’t too complimentary about his transition from RU and that was before RU was fully professional...

Moz was definitely a back rower in his early career at both the Rhinos and also at the Roosters when he initially moved over there to be reunited with Graham Murray

In both the 2002 and 2003 NRL GF's Moz definitely started in the back row for the Roosters and It wasn't until the 2004 season that he actually moved up to the front row position on a regular basis (from my recollection of his career over there)

Yeah that's what I thought. Was very good at prop for Wire, but not exceptional imho...
Might have had something to do with the quality around him for some of those years though....

Sorry, correct, Oldham. He was from Cas.

i think around this time he was seen as the best back rower in the world and justifiably so imo. an absolute beast of a player. i watched a few of the grand finals from that time recently on youtube, Roosters had a fantastic team back then with the likes of Fitler, Minichelo and Moz and Fitzgibbon in the backrow. should have won more than the one GF.
