2. Irvine
3. Meninga
4. Miles
5. Anderson
6. Fulton
7. Johns
8. Beetson
9. Walters
10. Civoneciva
11. Sironen
12. Price (slightly out of position)
13. Fittler

May need to give a lttle more thought to wingers and second rows.

The four people who are not negotiable for me are Lockyer (somewhere on the pitch), Meninga, Fulton and Fittler. To me those 4 are head and shoulders above other Kangaroos of recent years.

1.Darren Lockyer
2.Billy Slater (know he's a full back but he would do quite well on the wing)
3.Meninga
4.Reg Gasnier
5.Eric Grothe senior
6.Wally Lewis
7.Allan Langer/Andrew Johns can't make my mind up
8.Arthur Beetson
9.Cameron Smith
10.Petero Civoniceva
11.Bradley Clyde
12.Paul Harragon
13.Brad Fitler/Laurie Daley Hard choice

14.Benny Elias
15.Brad Fitler/Laurie Daley (depends who misses out on starting)
16.Mark Carroll
17.Gordan Tallis

Also I would have in the squad Steve Roach and Peter Sterling

You sir, are correct. And note that Andrew Johns is the only scrum half who is a member of the iconic group known as the Immortals.

Those who are picking teams -- often teams of 17 rather than Kangaroo squads of 26 --- and who omit any of those playing from 1963 on who are among the Australian Immortals -- Arthur Beetson, Reg Gasnier, Bobby Fulton, Graeme Langlands, Wally Lewis, Johnny Raper or Andrew Johns -- obviously have never seen the particular omitted Immortal play.

I saw all those players play but had to omit some. I thought long and hard about Gasnier.

Peter Sterling has publicly admitted that he was not as good as Andrew Johns.

No Arthur Beetson = Not Serious

I agree - Fittler is a must.

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
