Opinion The best 17 player squad since 1975

Just for the sake of argument and debate, I was asked to name a 17 man squad of the best of any Canterbury player since 1975; not just personal favourites, not necessarily the best in their position during their time at CB, but the best of the best. So prime yourselves, coz here’s mine; a full squad of Internationals with some very notable omissions.

1. Daryl Halligan
2. Harem el Masri
3. Sony Bill Williams
4. Chris Mortimer
5. Brett Dallas
6. Terry Lamb (c)
7. Jonathon Thurston
8. Bradley Clyde
9. Andrew Ryan
10. Graeme Hughes
11. Steve Price
12. Dr George Peponis
13. James Graham

14. David Gillespie
15. Bob McCarthy
16. Mark O’Meley
17. Dean Pay

Coach - Warren Ryan
Manager - Peter Moore

With apologies in advance to; Steve Mortimer, Ricky Stuart, Jim Dymock, Steve Folkes, Greg Eastwood, Josh Morris, Luke Patten, Willie Mason, Bill Noonan & Garry Dowling.
