Building your ultimate NRL spine

Posted by SuperEel 22 on December 16, 2025 at 11:58am in NRL

You're the Perth Bears and you have a completely blank slate to pick your ideal players. The spine is the most important collection of players for any team and can be the difference between premiership threat or also rans.

So, which of the below players are you choosing to build your team around. The only catch, you can't choose 2 players who are currently with the same side. So no dragging across Hughes and Munster.

I've thrown together a mix of proven NRL performers, some solid contributors and some young guns.

Not every NRL spine player is available every year, so you get to choose from the below randomly assembled list.

Fullbacks

Reece Walsh

Kalyn Ponga

Isaiah Iongi

Dylan Edwards

Scott Drinkwater

Kaeo Weekes

Sua Fa'alogo

Keano Kini

Five-eighths

Cam Munster

Ezra Mam

Dylan Brown

Ethan Strange

Matt Burton

Tom Dearden

Blaize Talagi

James Tedesco

Halfbacks

Nathan Cleary

Mitchell Moses

Jarome Luai

Jahrome Hughes

Adam Reynolds

Jayden Campbell

Isaiya Katoa

Lachlan Galvin

Daly Cherry-Evans

Jonah Pezet

Hookers

Harry Grant

Reece Robson

Apisai Koroisau

Jeremy Marshall-King

Wayde Egan

Mitch Kenny

Reed Mahoney
