Do you regularly watch the NRL? Those players could definitely get games in the NRL, Hill would even be a good NRL forward. But none of them would be a top 3-5 player for their position. Which is what I would class as world class, Walmsley got absolutely dominated by the Rooster forwards, whose best forward wasn't even playing.

Walmsley didn't get dominated. He still made good yards but he was on his own as the rest of the pack were poor.

Name the top 5 props in the world then.

In no particular order

S. Burgess, G. Burgess, J. Graham, J. Bromwich & J. Tamou

How is Graham better than Hill?

Hill is easily in the top five props in the world no matter what competition he is playing in.

Massively consistent and no weaknesses in his game whatsoever.

I don't watch much NRL but surely Hill's footwork (the Salford game and last year's Saints game for example) and his ball handling is up there amongst the best of the world's props?

Not mentioning his tackling, carries and metres made.

Hill would definitely get in most NRL teams as he has great footwork and energy compared to others who are just big.
