Best Fullback of the last 30 years ❗❗ 'I’m extremely humbled. Reality didn’t really sink in until I started naming the fullbacks I watched, idolised and built my game around over the last 30 years,' Billy Slater.
"I’m extremely humbled. Reality didn’t really sink in until I started naming the fullbacks I watched, idolised and built my game around over the last 30 years," he said.
NRL.com last week launched the search for the Simply The Best players from 1990 to now to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the iconic Tina Turner promotional campaign, which was again featured in this year's advertisement for the Telstra Premiership. Broncos legend Darren Lockyer was the runner-up ahead of modern-day Roosters star James Tedesco and retired Maroons great Greg Inglis.
It was a sign of the quality of the field that the list of notable omissions includes Raiders legend Gary Belcher - who was towards the end of his career when the Simply the Best era began in 1990, Kiwi legend Matthew Ridge, Brett Hodgson, Rhys Wesser, David Peachey, Luke Patten, Julian O’Neill, Robbie Ross, Matt Bowen and Robbie O’Davis.Darius Boyd
