There is no right or wrong answer to this but Im looking for peoples view on the best prop.
Im trying to understand a bit about what, in fans views, attributes make up the best prop.
With that in mind Id be interested to know who you think has been the best prop to play in SL since 2005 to the present day and the top two or three attributes he had to make him the best.
All responses (and gentlemanly disagreements) greatfully received.

Peacock - aggression, determination & hard work
If you'd expanded it to before 2005 I'd have gone with Fielden, he was awesome up until 2006.

All responses (and gentlemanly disagreements) greatfully received. Biased here, but Jamie Peacock. The main attribute being his ridiculous determination and will power to keep on going. He can be out on his feet one minute and making a try saving tackle the next. He does have a good offload on him too. But I think he instills a lot of confidence in his team mates when he's on the field

Peacock: Body-defying determination, raising his game that extra notch at the most important moments
Graham: Determination and work rate, handling ability that left defences in two minds.
Morley would be there but his best years in Super League were in the second-row, and his best years as a prop were in the NRL.
