yeah of course, absolutely subjective. If he'd played a career as a wing he could be close to Campo but he's played fullback mostly so we have to compare him with those.
I guess it's how you judge a player.
Statistically?
Folau's currently on 37 tries in 73 tests for a try every 1.97 tests. He's currently equal 3rd on the all time Wallaby try scorer list.
Latho scored 40 in 78 tests for a marginally better stat of 1.95. He's currently 2nd on the all time list
Burke score 29 tests in his 81 tests at 2.79 and is 11th on the all time list. But he's 2nd leading point scorer for the Wallabies and probably will be for some time as no one is really close to him.
Success?
Burkie is far and away here and, as you say, got to play with Larkham, Horan etc at their best. But he won World Cups, Bledisloes and Rugby Champs (and most other trophies).
Latho didn't really get to play with Horan (only a few) and played with Bernie and Gregan towards the end of their time. He didn't really win much either outside of the 2000 Rugby Champs and being a bit player v the Lions in 01.
Folau obviously hasn't had the same success by any means.
Skill-wise
Folau is special. His aerial skills are probably better than anyone who has played for the Wallabies. His evasive skills are excellent and likely up there with Campo. But after that????
Burke was the complete package wasn't he? Could've played 10 if he wanted (in fact may have a few times for the Tahs???) with an excellent boot, pass, vision, tackle, and beautifully calm under pressure.
Latho wasn't quite Burke in an all round game perspective but probably had the best punt for a fullback, perhaps up their with Gould? His pass was fine (at least way better than Folou) but his line/angle running and strength were superb.
I think the highlights reel of all three would be incredible to watch, but I think what's not in the highlights reel would stand the former two well above Izzy I'm afraid.
