Based on what I have seen- and that started in the late 50s- the only issue I have with (what I assume is) your first team is one wing position. Johnny King was a safe and dependable winger but hardly in Brett Morris' class.

It's very difficult to compare different players from different eras. But in King's case, he has the unbeatable record of scoring tries in six consecutive grand finals. Plus he scored143 First Grade tries, a Club record.

It was also very difficult to leave B Morris out. But wingers like King, Blacklock, Lumsden and Pidding all have records that speak for themselves.
