Billy Slater
Billy Slater retired from the Melbourne Storm in 2018 with 190 career tries, the most in club history and the third-most in NRL premiership history behind only Ken Irvine and Alex Johnston, across 319 games that ranked third in Storm history behind teammates Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk. He won the Clive Churchill Medal as the best player in an NRL grand final twice, in 2009 and 2017, part of a career that included four grand final wins and five Dally M awards recognizing his individual excellence at fullback. His long-running partnership with Smith and Cronk formed the spine of one of the NRL's most sustained modern dynasties, with the trio playing together through most of Slater's 14-season career before all three retired within a few years of each other. Slater's combination of two Clive Churchill Medals and his club-record 190 tries has made him one of the most statistically decorated and widely admired fullbacks in NRL history.
VS
Andrew Johns
Andrew Johns captained the Newcastle Knights to both of the club's premierships, in 1997 and again in 2001, and he won the Dally M Medal as the NRL's best player three times — back-to-back in 1998 and 1999, then a third, unprecedented time in 2002. In 2012, Johns was named the eighth Immortal of Australian rugby league, the sport's highest individual honor, and the first Immortal selected specifically for his performances in the modern NRL era rather than the earlier competitions that shaped the game's first Immortals. Johns's later public disclosure of his struggles with bipolar disorder and substance use during his playing career added a candid, widely discussed dimension to his post-retirement public profile, contributing to broader conversations about mental health among professional rugby league players specifically. His combination of a third, unprecedented Dally M Medal in 2002 and his 2012 selection as an Immortal has made Johns the player most frequently cited by fellow professionals as the greatest halfback in the sport's history.
