โ€œI'm in awe of this group of players and what they have each done in the game and for the game.

โ€œThis is the best of the best across several phenomenal eras. The group is full of Premiership winners, Dally M Medal winners, Clive Churchill Medal winners, Australia, New Zealand and England representatives.ย 

โ€œThere are brilliant halves, powerful and durable forwards and gifted outside backs. All of these players are exceptional.โ€ย
