j Peters i’d have Cook too, but i wanna see more of him like I wanna see more of Tedesco. As for Slater, I still believe Lockyer is better, Locky had a more rounded game where Slater was a liability on defence, not to mention i never liked how he led with the knees and never got pulled up for it 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@claudiusatlas8083]

Rory Hofmans Jake Trbojevic after only one series as a starting lock? I don’t think so. Gallen played most of his career at 13 so he should be there

[@teezy786]

@@claudiusatlas8083 Gallen constantly shut down our momentum with a stupid pass or hit up, I'd rather he not step on the field at all, especially at Lock.

[@roryhofmans9481]

Claudius Atlas i agree with Ryan Thompson. He isn’t the ball player that the Lock role demands. Gal can hit a ball up, make 30 tackles and palm it off maybe in a half decent offload. That’s a great Prop. Gal has played most of career in the Second Row, but as of late and especially his Man of the Series performance in 2014, that is why i have him at Prop. J.Turbo, like Cook and Tedesco, they need time to prove themselves, but tbh, what J.Turbo did for the Blues this year and what he continuously does for Manly week in and week out over the last three years, he’s a genuine Lock, and he has the skill to be a legendary Lock, which is why I chose him over the likes of Freddy or Clyde or Gal

S Thaiday 17. N Myles I love this game because of Meninga, but I wouldn't have him in my team. Started watching league from '91 and have little respect for legends like Beetson. Wally was good, but on his way out when I started watching, so I have him there mainly as an all-round utility. Don't give a rats about NSW and believe you could create at least 2 awesome NSW sides. We always struggled for enforcer types so it was harder to pick the bench. Wouldn't mind feedback on Folau - stuff his views, he was a bloody good player.

great team! loved big Mal. tough droppin Cronk i am a fan.

Maybe boyd for sailor

@@shaungallagher918 Nah mate - I respect his finishing skills and nothing more. He's the same as Tate/Dallas/Sing. And I'd swap out Lote before Sailor.

"Ground Hog Day, it never ages does it." I don't think even Finchy got the joke and he made it.

[@seanmac80]

Much like Bill Murray, Adam Sandler is generally much better in his "non-zany" roles. Happy Gilmore is a deadset classic, but his work in Punch-Drunk Love, Hustle, and Uncut Gems is far and away better than 99% of his comedic roles.

[@ronaldwhite5670]

So many great players, Bradley Clyde needs the recognition, and another one was Grahame O’Grady......he was a champ

I love the love for Bradley Clyde, he was a machine.

[@troycharlie1852]

Clyde was great, he just got unlucky with injuries. But on his day, injury free he was fantastic and would be everywhere on the field.

Wayne Schmidt that says it all doesn't it.The highest level of competition in rugby league,he dominated!🏉

[@brettg82au]

The game has completed changed and evolved since the 80s, not to mention sports nutrition & the level of athleticism. Ever watched an 80s game recently? Did you not notice how slow & disorganised the defence was? It reminds me of playing high school football. Today's wooden spooners would defeat the 1985 Australian side, probably even the 95 team. Sorry but the Lewis's & Beetsons & the Manningas & Miles have no place on a dream team. And seriously Matty, no Boyd? No Lang? No Webcke,? Torquiry? Cooper Cronk?¿
