Your 1-17 in the NRL

[Flanno]

Pick your team, 1-17 of players currently playing in the NRL. No picking players for a position they can fill in but aren’t currently playing at their club. For example, you can’t pick Mitchell/Wighton at centre, you can’t pick Trbojevic at Wing.

Tedesco
Sivo
Manu
Dugan
Addo Carr
Johnson (call me bias for picking him ahead of Keary but if Johnson played at Roosters he would probably have even more TA’s than he already does)
Cherry Evans
JWH
Smith
Haas
Graham
Bateman
Taumalolo

Ponga
Papalii
RCG
Murray

Going to try to go on form as much as possible rather than overall status. Wasn't exactly the question but I think a lot of the 'best' players are easy to agree on.

1. Teddy
2. Sivo
3. Manu
4. Crichton/Lomax
5. Nofa/Katoa
6. Sj
7. Cleary
8. Rcg
9. Smith
10. Papalii
11. Matterson
12. Crichton
13. Taumalolo

Went for my best interchange players.
14. Rudolf
15. Collins
16. May
17. Smith/Talakai

Some honourable mentions that could easily be swapped in - Yeo, JFH, Gutho, Jennings, Hass, Tohu, Paulo, Bmoz, Munster.

 

[Sir Chadley]

James Tedesco
Josh Ado-Carr
Stephen Crichton
Bradman Best
Mako Sivo
Luke Keary
Nathan Cleary
Payne Haas
Cameron Smith
Addin Fonua-Blake
Viliame Kikau
Wade Graham
Isaah Yeo

Toby Rudolf
Marty Tapau
Jake Turbo
Regan Campbell-Gillard

Boy, that was tough. So many good players miss out.

Flanno - you couldn't find a better half than DCE? Even Manly fans don't rate him
This is why your an assistant coach now Plus your son is also crying

I rate him and would still take him over Cleary at this stage! Flanno Jr is in the development squad

I normally would do the same but not on this years form but just stirring the pot coach

 

[BurgoShark]

So no Drinkwater at fullback? What about JDB at prop? Can I pick a bench full of locks?

Haha Burgess, I’ll allow an exception for you sir. You do you!

Thanks mate

Bench full of locks it is then! Changed my mind on the other two.

Just players I have enjoyed watching the last few years at various levels - not meant to be the greatest team on Earth.

1. Gutherson
2. Don
3. Xerri
4. Staggs
5. Holmes
6. Keary
7. Fogerty
8. Flegler
9. Brailey
10. Fonua-Blake
11. Graham
12. Fifita
13. Radley

14. Jurbo
15. Taumalolo
16. Brown
17. Rudolf

That’s a mean ass bench! Good shout on Fonua-Blake too, he’s an animal. Fogarty performed well in juniors?

I should’ve got you to do 1-17 yet to play first grade

I'm a Burleigh Bears fan (Don, Keary, Fogerty) and one of my best mates drags me to Redcliffe games so I've been following Staggs and Rudolf for a while.

Fonua-Blake is becoming one of the best forwards in the game IMO. He's ball-playing as well as JdB was back in 2018.
