Here is something I came across this morning. Back on 4 January this year NRL.com rated the top 5 backlines in the NRL. The list was:
5 - Broncos (Darius Boyd, Jordon Kahu, Jack Reed, James Roberts, Corey Oates, Anthony Milford, Ben Hunt)
4 - Cowboys (Lachlan Coote, Kyle Feldt, Justin O'Neill, Kane Linnett, Antonio Winterstein, Michael Morgan, Johnathan Thurston)
3 - Roosters (Blake Ferguson, Joe Burgess, Michael Jennings, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Daniel Tupou, Jackson Hastings, Mitchell Pearce)
2 - Warriors (Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Jonathan Wright, Tiumoala Lolohea, Solomone Kata, Manu Vatuvei, Thomas Leuluai, Shaun Johnson)
1 - Sea Eagles (Brett Stewart, Jorge Taufua, Jamie Lyon, Steve Matai, Tom Trbojevic, Dylan Walker, Daly Cherry-Evans)
"The departure of Peta Hiku to Penrith means Tom Trbojevic's path to consistent first grade football has been made a whole lot easier, while the arrival of South Sydney star Dylan Walker goes a long way to making up for the exit of Kieran Foran to the Eels. With Kangaroo Daly Cherry-Evans pulling the strings, Jamie Lyon and Steve Matai providing a mountain of experience in the centres, Jorge Taufua adding power out wide, Brett Stewart still a try-scoring weapon at the back and Walker and Trbojevic among the game's most natural ball-runners, the Sea Eagles have a backline that's the envy of the rest of the competition."
