All time greatest wallabies backline ?

[Sebastian V]

heres my pick, for players at peak performance!

9: George Gregan
10: Stephen Larkham
11: Lote Tiquiri (at there peak remember cos he's playing poorly now)
12: Tim Horan
13: Stirling Mortlock
14: David Campese
15: Matt Burke (great goal kicker)

Others which i think should be considered, Matt Giteau, Chris Latham, Ben Tune, Joe Roff, Havent seen footage of older players like Mark Ella play so i didnt include them.

Of the professional era -

9. Gregan
10. Larkham
11. Tune
12. Horan
13. Mortlock
14. Roff
15. Burke

If it was of "all time" Campo would definitely be in there and it would be a toss up between Larkham and Ella, but I'd probably lean towards Larkham... I wouldn't even consider Lynagh... Unsure about the others...

Nobody's mentioned Ken Catchpole yet? Not saying he's definitely the best, but he's good enough for the international HOF. Maybe it's a matter of posters not having seen him. That's why I'm not putting him in mine.

9. Nick Farr-Jones
10. Mark Ella
11. Ben Tune
12. Tim Horan
13. Stirling Mortlock
14. David Campese
15. Matthew Burke

20. George Gregan
21. Stephen Larkham
22. Joe Roff

 

[Randwick Kingfisher]

geez surprised to see no Daniel Herbert I can understand Mortlock (one of the greatest centres of all time) being on everyones list but at least one should differ...

hell Frank Bunce made on of the teams lol

 

[Woldog]

9. George Gregan
10. Mark Ella
11. David Campese
12. Tim Horan
13. Jason little
14. Ben Tune
15. Chris Latham

20. Nick Farr-Jones
21. Stirling Mortlock
22. Matt Burke

This thread got me thinking of the quality backs Aussie had back in the 90's. Definitely a golden decade for them.

9) Gregan
10) Larkham
11) Roff (Him and Ben Tune made a big splash when they came on the scene but Roff did more in his career)
12) Horan (possibly the best 12 ever, I'm a fan)
13) Mortlock
14) Campese
15) Burke (I remember this guy being unstoppable in his prime, he was almost mechanical)

9. Nick Farr-Jones
10. Stephan Larkham
11. Ben Tune
12. Tim Horan
13. Stirling Mortlock
14. David Campese
15. Matthew Burke

20. George Gregan
21. Mark Ella
22. Jason Little

Its hard to compare players from pre-professional error to the modern players but I believe Farr-Jones gets there ahead of Gregan just on talent. They were both great leaders. Larkham over Ella for the opposite reason. Ella probably had more ability but Larkham was such a good all round fly half. He had the kicking game, the organisation skills and the vision. The rest pick them selves

Any one notice the lack of recent players in the lists.....
