With the decade winding down, we’ve been naming our teams of the decade in nearly every sport.

The rugby union international XV and AFL All Australian teams of the decade have already been revealed. Today, it’s the NRL’s turn.

We were joined on the Game of Codes podcast by Roar NRL expert Tim Gore to ‘politely discuss’ (i.e. argue vehemently) about who makes the cut and who misses out.

While there were plenty of consensus picks, when there was a disagreement, the experts really disagreed.

Listen to the debate in the player above to find out how the team was put together, as well as who didn’t make the cut!
