| Darren Lockyear.
The worlds best fullback became the worlds best five-eighth
In 2006 he captained Australia, Queensland and Brisbane to tournament victories.
Read his wiki page or even his book, his achievements are incredible

| Darren Lockyer was a poor defender. He therefore cannot be on anyone's list.

| Quote the artist="the artist"of course it's a question that cannot be answered really as all of us never saw the great players of the latter half of the C19 and first half of last century, the evidence is all annecdotal, and records patchy in some cases. also you get the arguments over which position a player played, so maybe you are better off coming up with the greatest fullback, winger, scrum half etc. etc.
one question you could ask therefore is which position do you think the greatest player of all time would/should occupy?'"
The past is another country, they do things differently there. Early rugby league was so unlike today's game as to be unrecognisable. Have a look on the BFI website for early filmed games. To answer this question we really need to compare things that are reasonably similar. That might allow us to think about Puig Aubert versus Tuigamala(?) in the same frame.
I must admit that the first time I saw Inga the Winger in full flight the shock and awe was visceral. Technically not so much.

Maradona was a poor defender, who cares?
Lockyer best ever for me, Joey Johns might get more praise for his performances on a weekly basis but if you were behind in the last minute of an international, GF or origin match, you would want Lockyer on the ball over Johns.

He was fast, probably the fastest player of all time
well.....Fast where it mattered most, between the ears

| Quote vernon="vernon"No, it has to be Sean O'Verated.
More seriously, I can only pick the players I have seen, and I couldn't pick just one, so ...
Andrew Ettinghausen
Jason Robinson
Mal Meninga
Keith Senior
Martin Offiah
Darren Lockyer
Andrew Johns
Shane Webke
Danny Buderus
Kevin Ward
Gorden Tallis
Adrian Morley
Ellery'"
when a thread invites you to name the greatest player ever, even if you were to state the best player you've seen, one should never, ever, never mention the name Martin "chariots" Offiah
