Team of the Century Nominations

In conjunction with the Australian Rugby League's Centenary Celebrations, the Queensland Police Service named their Team of the Century at a gala luncheon in conjunction with the Men of League, at the Broncos Leagues Club on Thursday the 18th of December 2008.

The five man panel headed by Assistant Commissioner Col McCallum, who was ably assisted by Mr Phil Hocken, Mr Kevin Brasch, Mr Andrew Gee and Detective Inspector Garry Watts, completed this difficult but fascinating evaluation of rugby league greats within the Queensland Police Service's history.  In excess of 120 nominations were received with players from many different eras including Internationals, State players and A-Grade representatives.

The following side was named as the Queensland Police Service Rugby League "Team of the Century" and our Association believes this side will spark great debate over who would win between the Qld Police and the NSW Police Rugby League Team of the Century named earlier in the year:-
