If combinations are important than what about those in the greatest team of all, time the Dragons of the 50’s and 60”s: Gasnier, Raper, Provan, Langlands?
Based on pure talent this is my greatest 17: Slater; Irvine, Gasnier, Rogers, Inglis; Fulton, Thurston; Raper, Coote, Provan, Beetson, Smith, Hall. Reserves: Langlands, Lazarus, Tallis, Clyde.
Those players are talented enough to easily form combinations with each other.
Also many of them played together with each other, e.g. Rogers/Fulton, Beetson/Coote, Irvine/Gasnier/Raper/Langlands/Provan, Slater/Smith/Inglis/Thurston, etc.

Is this the NRL's best-ever team?
