of sorts

[eagles2win]

There's a famous quote from Don Furner Snr during the early 80's about playing Manly 'you play Australia in the top grade, NSW in reggies and Manly in Thirds'.

So using that what would your team be nowadays if we had no salary cap at all and money was no object like in many EPL teams?

 

[The Eagle]

My nrl allstars team to play vs ESL all stars would be

Stewart
Uate
Lyon
Inglis (on his day)
Slater
Foran
Dce
Weyman
Smith
Snowden
Choc
Trex
Stewart

Thurston (utility half)
TLL (back row wide)
