I love how high the background music has to be. Sounds like RayWarren has taken a bait and you are trying to drown everyone else out.

Do you suffer migraine headaches or just plain deaf?

[stevvvvveperry]

I have no idea what you are talking about

[delron007]

PLAINLY-- Why does the music need be so loud?

It sounds as though you are trying to drown someone out with this

bloody racket. I suggested Ray Warren as he too is deaf.

[stevvvvveperry]

sorry but any kind of loud music is not intentional.

[tom barca]

ay wheres junior, benny, siro or blocker they deserve to be there as well

it seems to a balmain biased on this list

[stevvvvveperry]

I cant fit every player on the list, but I wouldnt rate roach and siro in the top 20 anyway.

[Chris Fraser]

Only players from the major Sydney competition. Wally Prigg?

Before my time but read everything possible in the sixties about RL and he was always named in the top team from all eras.

[Chris Fraser]

Ian Walsh? Twenty-one, I suppose.

[Sq12Sq22u22]

I would honestly have to rate R FULTON as the very best by a mile. 2nd would have to be ken irvine, what a player. you can add the others in any way you want, but you are missing a hell of a lot of good ones that you probably don't even know, Les Johns, Gene Miles, the Hawthorne brothers, any one who says either slater or Andrew Johns should be there is just mad and does not know about these others who were head and shoulders better, check them out sometime.

[Petr Petrik]

What about Brett Kenny?

[John Mangan]

Thank you for your well written and courteous response. According to your logic the Australian and NSW selectors were also "dickheads" for repeatedly picking Kimmorley over Johns at halfback. Have some background knowledge before rushing into print.

[John Mangan]

Slater has to be there. A good list and an almost impossible task but nobody has played fuulback like Slater. Also Andrew Johns grossly over-rated. He oftem player hooker for Nsw and Australia and couldn't put Kimmorley out?
