THEY have totalled 492 NRL games between them, two are Test players - and they are coached by one of rugby league's legends.
But if you want to see these guys play this weekend, forget the NRL and show up at Henson Park tomorrow.
Bankstown City will send out a team of NRL stars side for their NSW Cup match against the Newtown Jets.
The line-up includes Danny Williams, Daniel Holdsworth, Matt Utai, Brent Crisp, Heka Nanai, Tim Winitana, Daryl Millard, Trent Cutler, Michael Sullivan, Danny Williams, Yileen Gordon, Fred Briggs, Charlie Leaeno and Nick Kouparitsas.
Brisbane recruit Greg Eastwood is also a chance of playing, which would bring the internationals to three.
And, of course, their coach Terry Lamb played 349 games in his spectacular career.
But what about their rivals? "I don't have one player who has played an NRL game," Jets coach Greg Matterson said.
"The Bulls have a good side, but those players probably don't want to be there. The challenge for them will be whether they can motivate themselves. If the Bulldogs get an injury, they have the back-up to handle it."
Based on last weekend's performance against South Sydney, the Sydney Roosters' NRL team would struggle to overcome Bankstown.

Hopefully one day our English game will be made exclusively an English affair !
