Put together your NRL best 17....

[Fishwa]

Just for fun - certainly an 'off season post'.....

Put together your best NRL 17 - with the rules being:

• Must have 1 player from every team in your 17
• Based on 2024 squads (so for example Damian Cook would count as Souths)
• Bench consists of:
  • 2 props
  • 1 back-rower
  • 1 any option

My team

1 - Tedesco - Roosters
2 - Taulagi - Cowboys
3 - Hammer - Dolphins
4 - S.Crichton - Bulldogs
5 - DWZ - Warriors
6 - Munster - Storm
7 - Cleary - Panthers
8 - Tino - Titans
9 - Api - Tigers
10 - Tapine - Raiders
11 - Olakauatu - Manly
12 - Kolomatangi - Souths
13 - Carrigan - Broncos

14 - McInnes - Sharks
15 - Su'a - Dragons
16 - Paulo - Eels
17 - J Saifiti - Knights

Are you rating Carrigan above Yeo or is it because you need to pick a Bronco in your team.

Love your centre pairing. They would definitely be in my dream team!

I agree, but it’s not exactly 1 player from each team is it?
