Queensland legend Gorden Tallis names Tom Trbojevic as NRL’s most influential player.
Take your pick: Tom Trbojevic, Kalyn Ponga, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck or James Tedesco.
Which fullback would you choose for your hypothetical team?
That question was posed on Triple M NRL on Sunday, and Queensland legend Gorden Tallis made his choice with one very good reason — Trbojevic has mastered the fullback and wing position at club and representative level.
He believes the 23-year-old Manly star is the most influential player in the game at the moment — and not just because he hasn’t lost a game at any level this season.
“I was sitting in the crowd last night and my son asked me, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Trbojevic, Tedesco or Kalyn Ponga, which one would I have?” Tallis said.
“It’s a really tough decision but I think Tom can be a world class player, the best player in two positions in the game. I don’t think Tedesco can, I don’t think he can play any other position and I don’t think Roger can play any other position, I think Ponga can, but he’s young.
“What a player. I think at the moment he is. What he did in State of Origin, and you’re only as good as your last game, and what he did was absolutely outstanding.”
