Ok so i have decided to do an all-time team with modern day included. The way i will do it is limited to nominees, particulaly with less modern day players as since they have been chosen in other survey's no point in adding others. For example, no point adding Brett Hodgson to the list of all-time as he did not get voted in modern day team, that was Hayne.
So first cab off the rank is Fullback with only three options. Again if i missed anyone i apologise. But also have to think if they are not going to win the survey is it worth having them?
Also, please let me know if certain positions should have a survey, for example 5/8 we all know who it is so would we rather i just name the 5/8 and move on or do we want a survey for that spot? Same with Lock?

My late grandpa used to tell me wild stories about steam trains and playing card games when he was a prisoner of war. He also refused to eat potatoes because of the Ruskies.
Actually, my grandpa looked after the prisoners of war. He was very kind to the German soldiers and would give them extras when he wasn't required to, and help them with whatever they needed.
My Grand Pa (actually he was called Pop), took me to the races.....of course I loved that, nearly as much as watching Ken Thornett play for Parra.
Super's Grandad was right, Langlands went into the centres to accomodate Thornett at fullback, Les Johns was his understudy and no greater fullback has ever graced the game. That includes Churchill who was an original immortal.
Only a few on here could recount his greatness, Hector exploded out of the gates to let you know, I can also tell you that Sir Col and Sluggo also agreed. Mention Ken Thornett to Sluggy and he runs out of words.....not easy when you know as much about Rugby league as Sluggy did.
Special mention to Jarryd Hayne.....he probably had more natural ability than any footballer born, he was meant to be a God but stuffed up his crucification and it was decided he could not be resurrected, no immortality there!
Yep Dave very fortunate to see the Mayor as the Great man was known . When read on here comments from our loyal supporters that Grand Dad told them about the players of that time i think stuff me i am getting on as you said my friend Sir Col and the twin Slug where a wealth of knowledge. Insaying that this generation will be able to tell their Grandkids of the players of this generation Hey and as we all say go Parra
Dad always told me the Thornett brothers were unbelievable so Ken for sure and Paul Taylor and of course Jarred
Time to get a job mate, you have too much time on your hands.
I do have a job, did all my work had time off during the day and had this made up last night and just uploaded it.
All a bit of fun.
John, the hardest workers can find half an hour of time to participate in what their interests. We don't all work 14 hrs a day old mate, although with the current cost of living, Albanese expects the average Australian to work 18 hours.
Ken Thornett
Great attacker in an otherwise average baseline at the time. Better defender and team player than Hayne.
Inspired those around him and didn't collect any wooden spoons for the club like jarryd did.
Ken thornett with out a doubt
