World Cup of League.

We chose the pick of the crop from our lifetime of watching the game. In a nutshell, the best from the past fifty years with a view to picking a balanced team. An exception though, the players could not be current (ie. still playing NRL - you’ll get your time Cameron Smith). Who have we missed? Disagree with our selects? Let us know…

Our team:

FULLBACK - Billy Slater

WING - Eric Grothe, Kerry Boustead

CENTRE - Bob Fulton, Mal Meninga

FIVE-EIGHTH - Darren Lockyer

HALFBACK - Andrew Johns

LOCK - Bradley Clyde

SECOND ROW - Gorden Tallis, Sonny-Bill Williams

PROP - Arthur Beetson, Glenn Lazarus

HOOKER - Benny Elias

BENCH - Greg Inglis, Ron Coote, Shane Webke, Steve Roach
