They are some of the most talented rugby league players to ever play our game. An Immortal in Beetson, the class of Thurston, the intimidation of Tallis, the sheer devastation of an Inglis run, the touch of Lyons.

This weekend the NRL celebrates Indigenous Round – a chance for us to look back at some of the sport’s greatest players and how these men have helped moul modern rugby league.
