Our original discussion that inspired the post [urlhttp://1895sports.com/opinion/full-backs-best-of-the-super-league-era/[/url was focused purely upon players who have played in the Super League.

You're right though, if you look at it from a perspective of the years since the Super League was created, but not to have necessarily play in the league itself, Billy Slater for me would be the best hands down.

He was signed though when you were still in Super League? I think it counts!

True that he signed for us while we were in SL...not sure if that still counts though

.

He was a class act. Hardly looked like he broke sweat with his languid style (also playing at a lower level) but still got 10 trys in 9 games and you could see him running the game from full back. Top bloke too by all counts.

Webb played in 10 Tests against his fellow countrymen Australia, scoring 3 tries, on winning side 2 times, one draw, and on the losing side 7 times.

Wellens and Radlinski were stand out players of the SL. Trouble is the SL was no where near the standard of the NRL in that era. They were average in comparison to the world best players.

The best fb of the SL era is Sam Tomkins.

Wellens. Solid as a rock, good positional sense in both defence and attack. If he had a decent turn of pace, he could have been one of GB's best ever.

The fundamental flaw with the debate, which has already been identified, is the role of fullback has been turned on its head. The role is now the first lines of attack, not the last line of defence.
