Personally I would have Langer and Johns at 6 and 7; surprised nobody mentioned alfie.

Quote: Dutchy the fax fan "I would have that squad but IMO you have got to have Brad Fitler, Benny Elias and Paul 'the chief' Harragon in there.'"

Freddy maybe, although he wouldn't be in my personal top 3 either at 5/8 or lock.
Harrogon no chance, and Elias shouldn't even make the tour as boot boy. If you wanted a hard hooker rather than just a grubby relic from a bygone age, then allow me to recommend the rake from the Australian team of the century - Noel (Ned) Kelly.

And who does he replace from among the team I have selected?

Play him at Loose Forward.

He was different class to your two choices. He had more than twice as many caps as Clyde and 11 more than Raper. He was the third most capped Aussie when he retired. He was the most capped NSW Origin player when he retired. When games were tight he always came up with the match winning play - as did Lockyer and Meninga in their day. To me that's what makes a great player - not flash Harry's who score a hatful against weak opposition (like certain British "superstars"icon_wink.gif. To me those 3 along with Fulton who was ahead of his time are the best Australian players I have seen.

Johnny Raper is an Immortal of many years standing. So you would have to dump Bradley Clyde to make a space for Bradley Fittler.

Filter, as good as he was, wasn't as good a back rower as Bradley Clyde.

He was a great stand off and a very good loose forward but certainly not better than Raper, Ray Price, Clyde
