**** me dead that is a hard ask however for what it is worth I can't split Teams A, H & F.

The reason is some of other teams contain a few 'dogs' eg John lomax, Adam Muir, Gavin Miller, Phil Blake, Mick Potter, Craig Smith
 
Yeah, impossible and mostly because each team has players I wouldn't put there.

Just using those above I would go for:

1. Gary Belcher 2. Lote Tuqiri 3. Mal Meninga 4. Greg Inglis 5. Matt Sing  6 Wally Lewis 7. Andrew Johns 8. Glenn Lazarus 9. Steve Walters 10. Shane Webcke 11. Steve Menzies  12. Nathan Hindmarsh 13. Ben Kennedy
Bench: 14. Mark Carrol 15. Steve Roach 16. Gavin Miller 17. Steve Renouf

+ Darren Lockyer VERY unlucky to miss out. Maybe even at Fullback instead of Mullins, but to me Mullins was one of the best !
 
Manly Backers team wins.

I was going to go with Fros, but snake at lock didnt do it for me.

PS: Ryan how can you still claim to be the YART king and not pick up on the above ?  :p

I know - since we have won the premiership, I have become way too complacent. It's like reading the end to a book...I don't know what to do next....

BRING ON THE SEASON MATEYS !
 
Good pickup clon, I was struggling to remember the 17, must have been a Freudian slip :)

I was tempted to put Cuthbo on the wing, but its been done..

It was Jatz in fact, gee Fro this marriage thing has really got to you ;)
 
Ryan's team is pretty close to nirvana. can't bring myself to include SBW. Backs always feast on the work of the pigs. Here's a pack from these squads:

Ray Price
Brad Clyde and Beaver
Glenn Lazarus, Steve Walters, Les Davidson

with Webcke, Ben Kennedy, Ian Roberts on rotation.
Power, mobility, skill, defensive commitment, fear factor.
