1. Billy Slater

4. Brett Stewart *
4. Matthew Bowen *
6. Sam Tomkins
7. Josh Dugan
8. Darius Boyd
9. Jarryd Hayne
10. Kevin Locke
* = tied
Pretty uncontroversial selection.
Sorry, but honesty and fair mindedness dictates that Sam Tomkins is not one of the top five.
However sixth in this field of talent is not too bad.

He's absolutely awesome in attack, but his defensive positioning is questionable and he is almost embarrassingly poor under a high ball. For me, this makes him a full back by number alone and locks him out of the top 10 altogether. |

Houghman from the broncs would have to be in there, over here he is regarded to be In front of quite a few of that list and In front of Locke for NZ |

Not many GB full backs make it in the NRL like RM did.
If you want to take this debate to a higher level, Eden V McDonnell? |

The only one you missed is Zak Hardaker. Made Tomkins look like a chimp in the challenge cup semi when likkle ol Sam gave us the first 16 points. I think you need to be able to catch a "bomb" as a pre-requisite to become a top class full back, Sam's lacking again.

Slater makes his fair share of errors himself.

Not that many errors. He very, very rarely drops the high ball or lets the kick bounce. And he is a great defender. He saves a lot of tries, especially by getting under the potential tryscorer and preventing the ball from being touched down.
I remember him only having one bad patch in one State of Origin game throughout his entire illustrious career. |

Your point needs some consideration. Maybe I have over rated Sam Tomkins, because of his dazzling attack.
Perhaps I should restructure my list by putting the top five in one group, and thn 6-10 in no particular order.
ie.
In order of talent:
1. Billy Slater
2. Ben Barba
3. Greg Inglis
4. Brett Stewart *
4. Matthew Bowen *
Not in order of talent:
6. Sam Tomkins
7. Josh Dugan
8. Darius Boyd
9. Jarryd Hayne
10. Kevin Locke |

Josh Hoffman from Brisbane Broncos was picked for NZ full back when Locke was out injured. He did quite well in that recent match, but Locke would almost cerainly be selected ahead of him if Locke was fit. |

Zak Hardaker is still a "work in progress" IMO. But he would be in the top 20 already (from 30 professional clubs in the world: 16 NRL and 12 SL) and he is likely to be close to if not in the top 10 within a year.
Let us see how he performs in 2013, and in the World Cup if he gets a chance. |
