Jazz, without question. Best prop since Beetson, and arguably on a par with the immortal one when you consider his longevity and consistency over those 13 seasons.
Special mention to SST. For a year or two there he was probably the best prop in the game. Pity his knees didn't hold up.

The poll is about he modern era........ which in itself indicates that there is NO QUESTION about the best prop of ANY ERA.
JWH wins it by the length of the straight.
But seriously....
There are some ridiculous comments here.
JWH is very good, probably the equal of Morley.
Not as skillful as Salvatori, and NOT IN THE SAME STREET AS ARTIE.
Beetson is a legend, the BEST Prop from any team in any era.
I first saw him in 1966 when he just about beat a ferocious pommy pack single handed.
15 years later he captained Queensland to a win in the first Origin game
They played EIGHTY MINUTES back then.
He was the strongest, the most skillful and probably the quickest prop in the game for 14 years.
He created more tries in one season that Jared will do in his entire career.
I love Jared, he's the best prop of the modern NRL era, no question...... but he is no Beetson.

Artie is the greatest forward of all time to have ever laced a boot on.

No point trying to compare Artie and JWH the eras are too far apart. Now is all about the power running and trying to get a quick play the ball. None of that back then, it was all proper scrums, 5m instead of 10m, and lots of biffo. I think Jared would have had fun back then but he would have been playing a totally different game.

Lowrie and Hermanson went alright for us in a weak side.

In artie's era they played 80 minutes in a significantly slower paced game than we see today, NRL today makes classic origin contests seem in slow motion so those eras can't be compared. Some would say Ray Stehr was a lot better than Artie.
