Ten best full backs of the NRL era

[Generalzod]

Remi Casty started of at fullback lol

 

[JJ]

If there's a party you have to invite Kevin Locke

WFT, Albert, no Sam Tompkins?

 

[Tommy Smith]

If I had to rate them...

Slater
Lockyer
Minichiello
Tedesco
Inglis
*edit* forgot Darius Boyd
Bowen
Stewart
Tuivasa Sheck
Hayne
Barba

Teddy is on a massive upwards trajectory under Robbo and could finish as no.2. He's killing it at all levels of the game in both attack and defence.

And Ponga could usurp them all but it looks like he'll end up at 5/8.

Then there's Holmes and Munster who for presently obvious reasons don't rate a mention but could in 5-6 years.

Surely the greatest position in the NRL era in terms of depth of star power.

Do your worst!

You win.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Four of the 10 played for the Roosters. Admirable restraint.

I'd have Michael Gordon for Inglis (making 5 Roosters!), whose best footy was at centre.

Can't believe you didn't mention wesser.

Anyway
1 lockyer
2 Boyd
3 hunt

 

[Vic Mackey]

Rhys Wesser yet to rate a mention? Guy was electric from 2002-2006.

Wesser is more deserving then Mullins IMO. Brett had one dynamic year (94), then 2-3 decent ones. Sure his on year was phenomenal, however the fact that he has a few tries still featured on highlight reels seems to have made people think his career was a lot better then it was.

Rhys was more consistent over a longer time period for mine.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Also Wesser had to overcome the absence of a neck; which makes his accomplishments all the more remarkable.

 

[Saxon]

Shannon McDonnell

Do your worst!

Paul Carige.

(Didn't play much fullback, but had the occasional game there.)

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Motu tony

 

[simmo05]

Surely brett hodgson would be in the mix?

 

[mongoose]

marshall chalk

 

[AJB1102]

Brett Kearney
Matt Wright

Albert Kelly

 

[Vic Mackey]

Surely brett hodgson would be in the mix?

Nah, didn’t play for Roosters

 

[AJB1102]

Jarrod Sammut
Richie Williams

Geeze those 2 were wankers

 

[AJB1102]

Surely the greatest position in the NRL era in terms of depth of star power.

Without a doubt! Imagine if the game produced halves at a similar rate and quality.

Wesser was a bit of a one year wonder as much as Mullins was. He played in mostly dud sides outside of 2003 and never had as much impact, and even in 2003 he wasn't the best fullback in the game.

You could rank him ahead in the NRL era but that's about it.

Oh f**k. You're as bad as some of these Roosters clowns.

 

[madunit]

Surely brett hodgson would be in the mix?

He's in my list

 

[madunit]

Paul Carige.

(Didn't play much fullback, but had the occasional game there.)

Save for one clusterf**k of a performance, Carige was not worse than Slops McDonnell

Had Anthony Minichiello not injured himself in Kangaroo Camp 2006 Karmichael Hunt wouldn’t have come into the squad. Hunt is then injured in 2008 opening the door for Billy Slater.

Does a fully fit Minichiello who was the Golden Boot winner in 2005 keep Hunt and Slater out of the Australian team for the next 5 years?
