Greatest fullback of all time.

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Who was the greatest full back of all time?

Here are the candidates:


Clive Churchill
Robert Aubert Puig (aka Puig-Aubert)
Graeme Langlands
Russelll Fairfax
Brett Mullins
Billy Slater
Greg Inglis
Jarryd Hayne
Another player (e.g. Tim Brasher, Graeme Eadie, Garry Jack, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck).

I always thought tim brasher was better then Mullins when i was a kid.

 

[TheDalek079]

Sam Tomkins

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

I always thought tim brasher was better then Mullins when i was a kid.

But now you do not consider him better than Slater, Inglis or Hayne I presume.

Well if he's better then Mullins, and inglis and co are better then brasher then Mullins shouldn't of made the short list

Stapo, then Mini.

Seriously though Slater is the best of what I've seen.

Minichiello should be on the list.

 

[Rhyno]

Jarryd Hayne

 

[Hutty1986]

Puig, easily.

 

[Perth Tiger]

Lockyer gets forgotten as a fullback but wasn't he selected in the team/squad of the century at fullback

 

[madunit]

Garry Jack

 

[thorson1987]

Craig Gower

 

[Snappy]

Jarryd Hayne

You should just answer 'that guy from my team' to every single question ever posted on LU

Think clive churchill was fullback of the century

Tom Rathman

 

[TheDalek079]

Yep. Churchill was the fullback (with Changa on the bench) in the team of the century

 

[Mogsheen Jadwat]

Slater or Lockyer

Slater probably edges him purely for playing in the same position his whole career, though Lockyer was the reason for the way fullbacks play in the modern era.

I can't comment on Langlands/Churchill as I wasn't alive when they played.

 

[Ibleedblue]

If Hayne played for a good team he would've dominated the comp year in year out. Slater has always played with the best players when Hayne had turkeys in comparasion.

From players I've seen

1: Hayne
2: Slater
3: Minichiello

Slater. Talent wise Hayne/Inglis

Pretty much this.

I know Inglis cops a lot of crap on here for being lazy, and he is. However I was watching a career highlights video of him and Jesus some of the shit he has done is just phenomenal. He'll be the player kids will see in 20 years and wonder why he isn't regarded as the greatest of all time.

Also Hayne has apparently gotten better at RL since leaving. I'm not sure he's as perfect as a lot of you think.
