Rugby league Immortal and Canberra icon Mal Meninga has unveiled his all-time Raiders team.

Meninga played 166 games in the lime green between 1986 and 1994 and the club’s main player medal is named in his honour.

Round 19

Now he’s hand picked a 1-17 for Fox League, chosen from every player to have ever represented the capital club.

And in doing so he revealed an old secret.

Meninga named Peter Jackson as captain of his all-time team, despite ‘Jacko’ having never captained the Raiders in his 43 games for the club.

“Blend of the old and new. Tried to be fair across all generations. I gave Peter Jackson the captaincy because Sheensy (coach Tim Sheens) told me recently that Jacko was going to be captain before he moved onto the Broncos. It also saves any battle of the egos and controversy,” Meninga explained.

“I went with a team that would compete in today’s environment. A smart team full of speed, highly skilled and various qualities. A versatile bench that would make a difference when they come on.

“I reluctantly left players like John Ferguson - my favourite player of all time - Ken Nagas, John Lomax, Sam Backo, Jordan Rapana, Jack Wighton out but can all be in the side without hesitation.”
