Ryan Hoffman reveals his top-five greatest ever team-mates
Ryan Hoffman played alongside some of the modern masters during his career with Melbourne, New South Wales and Australia.
And he has no doubts that current Wigan skipper Sean O’Loughlin is one of the top-five greatest team-mates he has had.
He ranks ex-Kangaroos captain Cameron Smith the best player he has ever lined-up alongside.
But after that, he puts four others alongside each other in his top-five – with O’Loughlin place alongside Cooper Cronk, Billy Slater and Greg
Inglils.
“Lockers does not get the respect in the rugby league world that he should but he is a legend of our game, one of the most talented players – he could do it all,” Hoffman said in a wide-ranging interview with the Outlawed RL podcast.
“I really wish he’d have come to the NRL and everyone here had seen what a fantastic player he is.
“He’s in the top five I’ve played with... and in terms of leadership, I put him on par with Cameron Smith.”
