Yeah that was the thought process. Blake was a big oversight
General Xmas fun - warriors best fullback and 6

We could call them the "Overs"
McKinnon was the most explosive fullback we've had unfortunately curtailed by that bad injury. Brent Webb was Mr Reliable. Roger was outstanding in 2018 and 19 so he gets my pick.
Hoffman should feature somewhere there too.

Would also be interesting to pick a warriors team based on their single best peak season.
I think some players would change, maybe even here in the fullback category.

Official finalised forum best Warriors team ever (2025 edition) 1 - Roger TUIVASA-SHECK
2 - Francis MELI
3 - Jerome ROPATI
4 - Clinton TOOPI
5 - Manu VATUVEI
6 - James MALONEY
7 - Shaun JOHNSON
8 - Steve PRICE
9 - PJ MARSH
10 - Addin FONUA-BLAKE
11 - Ali LAUITITI
12 - Simon MANNERING
13 - Tohu HARRIS
From memory (last game wiped by the Turks from 2020 or 21) we had Jones at 7, Johnson at 6, Campion at 13, Wiki at 10 and Vagana at 3.
Now this would be a premiership winning team. Unstoppable.

I reckon a bit of recency bias with that side.

Always will be. Hard to compare different eras as well as the game has evolved.
RTS at fullback really spoils it in my opinion. So vanilla compared to some of the other fullbacks we’ve had.

I reckon Vagana too. Brilliant career. Joe Galuvao and Tommy Leuleuai were others that came to mind.

Clarky’s Aussie view of our greatest ever team:
No Lauiititi and Hohaia.
Not a bad shout, don’t think Lillyman, Fein and Tate should be there over others but not bad

Aussie centric…
For that Aussie centric team, how about Campion for 18th man?
Based on you knock out 2 of our blokes, and we let him loose, up to you.
Also fold some Kane Evans and mad Jack for when Campions suspended.

Criminal.
Think the forum team selected in this thread is more on the money.
Who's Clarky?

Isn’t it a NRL era team hence a few legends not there ? Although unsure when his NRL era starts as Toopi and Meli are there?
Officially NRL era started in 1998 so farked if i know what that means.
Dont know who this Clarky is but seems he had a few fave Aussies that played for us.
