My god this thread turned into a piece of shit didn't it?
There is only one player needed from the 2002 side and that is Brad Fittler - anyone else who says anything different wants their f**king heads read.
Fittler is as close to an immortal as Easts have had since Artie and you're talking of Wing, Morley, Fitzy and Mullins? f**k me dead.
Fittler could play anywhere, along side anyone and he'd make them look ten times the players they are
Fittler could be 6 and Maloney 7 and you'd have 1,000 times the combo of Peace and Maloney in the halves. All they'd need do is work out who runs the majority of the plays and who chimes in when needed.
Wing was a fairly decent 7, but he was a better 9. He didn't want to admit it, just like Anasta didn't want to admit he had more potential as a 13 than he did as a 6. Both players ultimately paid the price of believing they were something when they could have been so much more.
Wing had the ability to be Cameron Smith or Robbie Farah well before they made the 9 position so important. But he had a strop on about being a 7.
But no one has had the impact that Fittler had regardless of their position and on that basis alone the answer is Freddie.
