I assume we are talking about players we have seen play live for clubs over here....otherwise we'll just end up picking our best Aussie test team.
Since Late 70s
Wally Lewis (Wakefield)
Peter Sterling (Hull)
Brett Kenny (Wigan)
James Leuluai (Hull and Wakefield)
Les Boyd (Warrington)
Henry Paul (Wakefield and Wigan)
Mal Meninga (St Helens)
Ian Roberts (Wigan)
Lesley Vainikolo (Bradford)
Gene Miles (Wigan)
I'd add many others if we included touring sides like Ray Price and Steve Rogers but this list will do for now.

Kurt Sorensen was consistently brilliant over a long period of time for Widnes - 1985 to early 90s. He'd be in any top 10 of mine.

I only caught the end of Price and Steve Rogers's careers but don't doubt their status as great players.
All my top overseas players are Aussies simply because they're better players than the Kiwis I've seen since the early 80s. My top 10 Kiwis are:
Kurt Sorensen
Dean Bell
Mark Graham
Matthew Ridge
Ruben Wiki
Gary Freeman
Stacey Jones
Stephen Kearney
Tawera Nikau
Henry Paul

Think you're missing this bloke though:
Good call.
Tommy Bishop was the brains though.
