Greg Eden says ex-Super League star had skills better than anyone in the NRL
Picture by Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com - 16/03/2023 - Rugby League - Betfred Super League Round 5 - Castleford Tigers v Leeds Rhinos - the Mend A Hose Jungle, Castleford, England - Castleford's Greg Eden is interviewed after receiving the Betfred Player of the Match award.
Greg Eden has played for a number of clubs.
The brilliant try scoring winger has played for Huddersfield Giants, Hull KR and now plies his trade at Castleford Tigers but also played in the NRL.
Despite playing for all these different teams, when it comes to the best he has ever played with it has to be Rangi Chase.
He said on the Fully Game YouTube channel:
“I’d probably say Rangi. I was only 20 when I first started at Cas and I thought I was good with the ball and pinging passes about, then he was doing it behind the back and one handed.
“His step and how strong he was, his speed. He had everything. He was just unbelievable then he signed at Salford for massive money.”
He even said Chase had skills better than the players he saw in the NRL:
“Even when I went over to Australia no one that I’ve played with, even though they might be classes as better players than him, no one had his skill set or ability.
“I think he’s back in New Zealand. I asked him the other day and I think he said he’s planning on a couple of years and then he might come back.”
