The greatest fantasy team of the 1990’s

ARL 1996

Ahhhh the 1990’s in rugby league!

Floppy jerseys, the Super League war, ARL 1996 on PC, Andrew Johns dominating the competition (and the Newcastle night scene) and Fatty Vautin dominating the Origin coaching box.

It was also pre-Internet dominance and so fantasy footy was a whole lot different! I remember checking out the options in the Daily Telegraph newspaper and posting my team in snail mail!

Amongst all that there was a whole lot of quality rugby league too!

 

So without further ado I present to you the greatest fantasy team of the 1990’s as selected by the NRLCEO writers:

Raiders 1. Brett Mullins
Broncos 2. Wendell Sailor
Raiders 3. Mal Meninga
Broncos 4. Steve Renouf
Raiders 5. Noa Nadruku
Sea Eagles 6. Cliffy Lyons
Knights 7. Andrew Johns
Broncos 8. Shane Webke
Raiders 9. Steve Walters
Warriors 10. Gary Larson
Sea Eagles 11. Steve Menzies
Raiders 12. Brad Clyde
Roosters 13. Brad Fittler

 

Other notables include Geoff Toovey, Andrew Ettingshausen, Glenn Lazarus and Laurie Daley.

Compare this to the team the League Freak picked last year.

 

What do you think? Would you add any others yourself?

A Founder of NRLCEO. Jamie spends far more time on running the site than his own team and is therefore a perennial struggler, much to the delight of his mates. He is a former Bears, now Raiders tragic. A rangy lock who avoided running the ball at all costs, he once tackled (flopped on) John Hopoate. Web geek by day, web geek by night.

    You should post everyone’s teams. It’d be cool to see who everyone picked!
