Former Broncos great Gorden Tallis has named his best-ever Brisbane Broncos side on foxsports.com.au.

In a controversial call, Tallis named himself coach of the line-up over legendary mentor Wayne Bennett - arguably the greatest coach in rugby league history.

He's paired Wally Lewis in the halves with Alfie Langer and put Kevin Walters on the bench. Joining Walters on the interchange is Tonie Carroll, David Fifita and Payne Haas.

The No. 1 jersey was given to Darren Lockyer, with Lote Tuqiri and Wendell Sailor his wingers and Steve Renouf and Justin Hodges in the centres.
