For mine Ken Thornett is the best fullback to ever play the
game of rugby league.As well as his great attacking genius he
could defend as well.
I can remember a day in 1965, a semi final against South Sydney
when Michael Cleary, a big man himself and very fast took the
ball in that game at the SCG running from the South West corner
and by the time he reach the twenty five he was in full flight
and what a sight that was.
Ken Thornett came across in cover and took the winger in a ball
and all tackle,Michael and the ball looked as though they would
end up in the ladies stand.
Although Parramatta lost Ken was unbelievable that day.
