Predominantly a loosehead and admittedly never shifted across all that often, but he's the top of charts in terms of props across the last 10 years and he can't be left in the cold, I personally have just about had my back broken by him a couple of times in scrums too. Even though he's largely played outside centre he's impossible to leave out, such was his impact for Roos between 2013 and 2016 - he shifted to the Geurie Goats in the lower tiers after that - Pauta demands selection in this side's centres. He won a Caldwell Cup with Central West that season and he was a mainstay in that side and the NSW Country Cockatoos during his time with Roos, he also featured in the Combined Country side that faced the British and Irish Lions in 2013. He didn't lose a game in Roos' colours that year, the only defeats the side suffered on their way to the title came when Nau was on representative duty, and that's a fair indication of his influence. Didn't play in 2011 as the Lions rolled to the preliminary final but it was bleedingly obvious that season the one thing they were missing was a five-eighth to direct traffic, and control the tempo. Played well above his weight on the side of the students' scrum and Central West's, he won a Caldwell Cup title with the latter in 2014 and despite being undersized was arguably the Blue Bulls' best forward in that campaign. He was the catalyst for Parkes' premiership win in 2011 and led them to the grand final the year after as well, when the Boars were beaten by Orange City, He inspired Forbes' title triumph in 2017 and was the main reason the Platypi made an appearance in the decider the year prior as well. Oh, he captained those sides too, taking over from the injury Josh Maley in 2012 and taking the reins the season after. He didn't play in either and, incredibly considering his reputation in the region, 2010 was the only year of this decade he consistently played in the top grade for the Lions. You'd expect him to have been instrumental in the Lions' 2012 and 2013 premierships, wouldn't you? After months of researching, compiling and adjusting, the Central Western Daily presents the Blowes Clothing Cup Team Of The Decade. He only spent three seasons at Pride Park in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and if you can believe it, thanks to injury, he largely spent the first of those in second grade. Using his knowledge of teammates and rivals along with input from some of the region's best judges, he's broken the last 10 years down to select the absolute best of the best, the cream of the crop, the team of the decade. One of the few genuine five-eighths since the turn of the decade, with a lot of sides turning to makeshift play-makers who are more-suited to other positions during that period. Was earmarked for NSW Country Eagles honours in the inaugural National Rugby Championship in 2014, before turning out for their development side along with a handful of other Central West stars. Due to work and family commitments he's not played all that consistently for the Boars in recent years but in a show of his loyalty to the club, he still turns out whenever he possibly can. Fortunately for Orange City, the rest of the backline played sous to Sparks' head chef role and while they took pressure off him, those sides were undoubtedly his. There's been plenty - and I mean plenty - of outstanding hookers across the last decade but Nau stands head and shoulders above his chasing rivals, and he fittingly finished his time at Roos by skippering the side to a premiership in 2014. Always looked like he was in slow motion with ball in hand, the competition's not seen a better kicking game than his in recent years and he, quite frankly, made defenders look stupid for fun. Starting from the back line... Did they get it right? Has always been a mainstay for Central West and has earned NSW Country honours in recent years too. Locked Bulldogs' scrum in their 2010 premiership win before spending two years playing in the Netherlands and another in the 13-man code, landing back at Anne Ashwood Park in 2014 and having an immediate impact to boot. He arrived at Emus in 2012 alongside his younger brother, after also winding down his professional career that included stints in New Zealand, Scotland, England and France, he also played Australian Sevens as well. Miller joined Orange City in 2010 from the Illawarra region and, in fact, he helped that side end Central West's country championship dream the year prior. The Bulldogs team named follows on with a club tradition after a 50th Anniversary and 70th Anniversary teams were named.The past decade has included two Grand Final appearances and four other appearances in the finals which shows how strong and high quality the calibre of players have been over the past 10 years at the Bulldogs.Paulo placed on report for tackle on Fifita He's played plenty of centre and fullback for Emus over the years and actually won a premiership from five-eighth in 2016, but he's been the competition's best winger behind only Lafo'ou in the last 10 years. He could tear any side apart with ball in hand, and did it on plenty of occasions too, so much so there's not been many more damaging ball carriers in the competition over the last 10 years.
