Opinion: The greatest rugby league team of all-time? It’s hard to argue | Roy Masters
St George Illawarra have announced their team of the century, arguably the greatest club combination in the history of rugby league.
This was the premise behind the process of choosing the centenary team, as well as selecting the club’s top 100 players. Both Bath and Smith, apart from being great players and coaches, made unique contributions to the club. Centre was another position with a plethora of talent available. Reg Gasnier was an automatic selection, with his nephew, Mark, making for both a family and local junior connection in the historic team.McRitchie toured with the 1948 Kangaroos, played in the 1949 premiership team and was credited with creating the overlap for Ron Roberts to score a try against Great Britain to win Australia the 1950 Ashes. His club career was limited through war service, playing only seven games in three years.
