There is a very long list of Englishmen and Aussies forwards who have come from our league and dominated the NRL. Something about our league improved the forwards.
Garbo always had it in him to play at a pretty high level. His under 20s career at the Newcastle Knights was very interupted with injuries, but after that he spent a year playing for Newcastle Wests and led them to a premiership with amazing stats for the year. He did so well that a few NRL clubs offered him a contract and he signed with Melbourne for a few years. He couldn't break into the Melbourne side, but he played for their feeder club in the Qld cup and again had amazing stats - so good that Brisbane signed him. He was always knocking on the door of playing NRL, but just signed with 2 sides that had really strong forwards and couldn't find a spot for him. If he'd have signed for Newcastle when he had a chance, he'd probably be a 200 game NRL player about now.
