This guy was absolutely fantastic. I'm a southerner from England, where rugby league isn't huge - but I knew about this guy even as a kid. You can't help but notice an athlete that special.

@M youre going all over the rugby league videos on KZitem posting the same comment. Are you really that scared of rugby league and the awesome game it is?

If you look at him, size, speed, athletic ability, he's a blue print for the modern players. A legend ahead of his time

A lot of players from back in the day wouldn't make it today. Those that would are often halfbacks, where size and athleticism don't matter as much. Meninga is an exception. His combination of power, speed and smarts would have made him a start today. It's frightening to think that he'd have been even better with strength and conditioning training.

Michael.......Though Mal is one of the league greats, he's not the best league player of all time, let alone the greatest athlete of all time.....what are you smoking? Dial it down a notch eh, what about the likes of Federer, or Jordan, or Usain Bolt, or Tendulkar or Richie McCaw? Lockyer was better all round than Mal, same with Thurston.....Also Kevin Walters is the QLD coach, Mal hasn't been QLD coach since 2016.
