So with all this lockdown, I'm watching plenty of old NRL games.
In the spirit of all this, I've decided to put forward my South Sydney Team of the 2010's. Open for debate and discussion. I think many of the players pick themselves. I've tried to weigh up a lot of options too, along with contributions to the team, the club and the fans. I've added an 18th man too because I'm a sentimental f****r and I couldn't split a couple on the bench.
I've noted:
Years of service = 20XX etc
Games = NRL club games (World Challenge or Charity Shield not included).
Representation = SoO, national, PM XIII, Indigenous All-Stars.
2014 Grand Final players' names in bold italics underlined
Without further ado.
1. Fullback Greg Inglis 2011-2019 146 Games, SoO Old, Indigenous All-Stars, Australia
2. Winger Nathan Merritt 2002-03 & 2006-2014 218 games, SoO NSW, Indigenous All-Stars 146 Tries
3. Centre Dylan Walker 2013-2015 62 games, Australia.
4. Centre Bryson Goodwin 2013-2017 99 games New Zealand
5. Winger Alex Johnston 2014-present 124 games, Indigenous All-Stars, Australia, PNG
6. 5/8 John Sutton 2004-2019 336 games Primeminister's XIII
7. Halfback Adam Reynolds 185 games SoO NSW
8. Prop George Burgess 2012-2019 149 games England
9. Hooker Issac Luke 2007-2015 188 games New Zealand
10. Prop Roy Asotasi 2007-2013 133 games New Zealand, Samoa
11. 2nd Row Ben T'eo 2013-2014 41 games SoO QLD
12. 2nd Row Cameron Murray 2017-present 62 games SoO NSW, Australia
13. Lock Sam Burgess 2010-2014 & 2016-2019 182 games England
14. Bench Dave Tyrrell 2009-2017 155 games Primeminister's XIII
15. Bench Chris McQueen 2009-2015 116 games SoO QLD, England
16. Bench Ben Lowe 2008-2015 117 games (was 18th Man for SoO Old)
17. Bench Jason Clark 2009-2018 169 games
18. Bench Damien Cook 2016-present 93 games, SoO NSW, Australia
Other than winning the comp...my favourite photo from the decade - of a guy who put his body on the line each week, gave his heart and soul to the club and was always a super-dooper cool dude to the fans. Bravo, Jason Clark!
