| This is a team that could beat an assemblage of the best English team of the past 30 years, but for the fact that there were few indigenous Australians who played prop forward.
Matt Bowen(Wigan)
John Ferguson (Wigan) Steve Renouf (Wigan), Steve Ella (Wigan, Wakefield), Nathan Blacklock (Hull FC)
Cliff Lyons (Leeds)
Jamie Soward (London),
Greg Bird (Catalans)
Ron Gibbs (Castleford), Chris McKenna (Sheffield, London, Leeds, Doncaster),
Sam Backo (Leeds), Denis Moran (London, Wigan, Widnes, Leigh), Arthur Beetson (Hull KR)
Interchange: Willy Isa (Castleford, Widnes), Dean Widders (Castleford), Sid Domic (Hull),
Reserves: David Peachey (Widnes), Matt Sing (Hull FC), Dale Shearer (Widnes), Amos Roberts (Wigan), Tony Currie (Leeds), Brent Webb (Leeds, Catalans), Rod Jensen (Huddersfield), Owen Craigie (Widnes), Kevin McGuiness (Salford), Darrell Trindall (Sheffield, St. Helens), Leo Dynevor (London)
I have put Denis Moran as hooker, though he is best remembered and played most of his rugby league as a half back. Unfortunately there was never a quality Australian indigenous hooker playing in England.
Also there are no specialist prop forwards on the interchange, because there is a dearth of indigenous Australians who played prop.

| I'd stick in Manly's Paul Shaw , Salford's Stand off for the 88-89 season.
Not a Rugby Player , more a Magician.
he featured in the 87 Wigan / Manly game, then terrorized Wigan again in the 88 Lancashire Cup final where he was given Man of the Match award despite finishing on the losing side .
unfortunately , Salford didn't have the pack to protect their Stand off , and he was the recipient of some ' unfair treatment' most notably by Paul ' Buffer' Forber at a saints away game that left him Hospitalised .
Years Later when Forber joined Salford he was asked about the Paul Shaw incident and said that the coach told him to "rough him up a bit."
But justice prevailed. The day he signed for us an old lady went up to him , hit him over the head with her umbrella, and said "That's for Paul Shaw".

| Quote: rollin thunder "Why, Gordon Tallis has counted as aboriginal indigineos but openly admits he has no real proof just been told one of his great grandparents my be or is part aboriginal, I have a great grandparent who is Irish but would never claim to be irish. Mc Kenna never struck me as looking particularly aboriginal and never heard it be mentioned before.'" Tallis was clearly Aboriginal. One look at him and anyone who was brought up around Aboriginal families would pick out his features. Skin colour isn't always a good indicator with Aboriginality. I once had a girlfriend who was so blond and fair that she could pass for Swedish, but both her parents and her brother and sister were all very dark skinned and had Aboriginal features. In fact, in the district I live in, half the people I know to have Aboriginal heritage couldn't be identified by a casual observer. One family is all red headed and freckled.
