Wally Lewis
Wally Lewis, nicknamed "the King," played 31 State of Origin games for Queensland between 1980 and 1991 and captained the team in 30 of them, winning a record eight Man of the Match awards in the series that Queenslanders still regard as the format's golden era. He also played 33 international tests for Australia between 1981 and 1991 and captained the national team from 1984 to 1989, while collecting three Dally M Representative Player of the Year awards, in 1982, 1984, and 1988, plus the Dally M Five-Eighth of the Year award in 1988. Lewis's standing in Queensland rugby league was formalized after his retirement with a bronze statue erected at Lang Park, and the medal now awarded to the best player in each State of Origin series was renamed the Wally Lewis Medal in his honor. His combination of a record eight State of Origin Man of the Match awards and his sustained national team captaincy through the 1980s has made Lewis one of the most decorated and celebrated figures in Australian rugby league history.
VS
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.
