Jai Field and Bevan French at Wigan Warriors, Matt Dufty at Warrington Wolves, Tex Hoy at Hull FC and of course Jack Welsby at St Helens, Super League is awash with talented fullbacks.
But one of the best was forced to retire prematurely this year in the shape of Lachlan Coote.
The former St Helens star and three time Super League Champion suffered routine concussions and that concluded in an early retirement after a nasty head knock after the Magic Weekend clash against Salford Red Devils.
Perhaps Hull KR would have won at Wembley with his experience but it wasn’t to be.
As Hull KR meet St Helens this week, Coote will be making an appearance at the game but after that he will be headed back to Australia.
‘After suffering another concussion at Magic Round, my fifth concussion in less than two years, I knew I was going to be faced with some tough conversations.
‘Over the past three weeks I have focused on gathering as much information as I can from the concussion specialist to help me make a decision on my time left here at KR.
‘With all the support from my coach, Willie Peters, Paul Lakin, Neil Hudgell and the medical team at Hull KR, I have made a very difficult decision to retire immediately.
‘Rugby league has always come first before anything, now I think it’s time to put my health, my future, my family first, and hopefully, have a long and healthy life with the ones that have supported me my whole career and will continue to support me for the rest of my life, my two beautiful kids and my beautiful wife, Laura.
‘I’m still finding it hard to come to terms with this decision and it has been a very emotional few days, knowing that I will not get to play alongside my team mates again and finish off what we started.
‘I know this club and this team will be just fine without me. There are exciting times ahead for Hull KR. Sewell Group Craven Park is a very special place to me and I have loved every moment playing in front of the heart and soul of this club, the Hull KR fans.
‘I want to thank you all for the love and support you have shown me and my family, it’s been a pleasure to have been a small part of this great club’s history.’
