10 Greatest Rugby League Players Of All Time (NRL)

Rugby league is a team sport where all players work together to achieve a common goal. However some players stand out from the rest by going above and beyond to help their team become successful.
We believe a set criteria is necessary in order to assess this topic and we came up with 4 points that we believe makes a great rugby league player.
- Their all-around skill level in both attack and defence
- The individual awards and accolades they have won over their career
- The impact they had on both their clubs and representative teams success
- The amount of grand finals and competitions they have won
All these aspects were assessed in constructing this list and the person that fulfils all of these the best, is our GOAT!

[@fhatthewuck4719]

No way Lockyer is 8. He should be Top 5. Always. He played with ice running through his veins. Never rushed or forced plays when his team was under the pump. If there was nothing on, he would rather hold out till his opponents cracked under pressure and capitalise on their mistakes. No one played like that nor has any since. The ultimate clutch player. The ultimate team player. He arguably sacrificed his undisputable claim to being the greatest when he made the unselfish decision to switch to fulltime five-eigth. Now he's arguably the greatest. As opposed to undoubtedly (in popular oppinion) the greatest. But he is my GOAT.

[@fhatthewuck4719]

@@danielkelly4487 Before Lockyer, fullbacks were merely ball runners who would wait to be put through holes. Lockyer was the first fullback who played as an ancillary member of the halves in attack. Billy followed this trend, then evolved it with his insane work rate. Now the fullback is expected to be literally everywhere on the pitch in both attack and defense. The halfback is still the chief playmaker but the _modern_ fullback, thanks to Billy, now has to be the hardest working player. Lockyer began the evolution of the fullback and Billy is the archetype of what that evolutionary process has resulted in.
