16. Paul Harragon

If Manly players were included the only certainty would've been Cliffy. Beaver, Killer, Snake and BK would have been tough to leave out also.

I went with NRL but worldwide is acceptable if you have firsthand memory of them.

Reserves Jim Morgan
Paul Sait
Neville Hornery

So many left out though

If I was to pick a best ever assembled team that I saw play it would be the GB side that shat on St. George at the Cricket ground in 1962. St George were almost unbeatable at that time. Had won about 6 premierships in a row then and won another 5 (I think) after this flogging. Murphy, Bolton, Edgar and McTigue just toyed with the likes of Raper, Clay etc. I was an apprentice at the time and had to get sick at lunchtime so I could go to the game because they played on (I think) a Tuesday arvo. Loved watching St George being brought back to earth getting an extra orifice torn.

Wally Lewis in Lockyer out! Lockyer is one of the most overrated of any league players! Webke in, Civoniceva replaces Harragon, Paul Sironen in, Clyde replaces Fittler......

Same here, too hard...I have been watching for too many years to pick only 17.
