A backrower who doesn't play in the backrow and then a backrower who wasn't even a stand out in his era? Interesting selections.

It’s all about opinions and all that.

M Meninga played enough as an edge-forward. G Stewart was class, beautiful player.

Meninga best back rower since 88...a position he didn't play very often, despite being one of the best in the position he did... Can't agree with that.

Can I ask why 1985 and not 1982 as 1982 was the watershed year for international RL IMO?

I only started to watch RL in 1984.

Fair enough. Some of us are a tad older than you
