With the Fullback spot a straight fight between Micky Withers and Stuart Spruce I thought we'd get cracking on the wingers positions.

There has been some great past heros in the Red, Amber and Black. There are two positions here so I've given you 3 votes.

For me, there is only two choices.... Lesley Vainakolo and Tevita Vaikona. Both were immense and I dream of the days we had such a formidable wing combination.

My wildcard choice would be Jon Scales. He is the reason I still wear my polo shirts with a pop collar. He was the first of the powerhouse wingers and scored some very important tries.

I went for:

Big Les - this one is a no-brainer. He should win outright.

TV - absolute beast of a winger. Only time I can remember him being 2nd best in a match was when Calderwood kept Cumberland throwing him. Scored plenty, saved plenty and made a ton of metres.

Scales - may not have been the best defending winger ever but he could bloody score them. Him and Loughlin were brutes.

Easy selection - Volcano and TV.

Might just put this out there..... I would probably say that these 2 wingers would probably be the best of the Super League era. With maybe Ryan Hall coming close to standing on the same level?

I've gone with the obvious 2 and Leon as my 3rd.. Only because I remember him scoring a length of the field try at warrington in 99' and I said to my nan "he is very quick" to which nan replied "so he should be with legs up to his armpits" i was in stitches!! I was 11 years old mind

TV & Lesley & Gareth Raynor just for the tackle on Sam Tomkins

Les Vainikolo - no-brainer !!!

TV - also 1 of the all time bulls greats (certainly in my era, the last 20 yrs)

3rd choice is a toss up between Leon, Bai n Ainy. Ive gone for Leon for his ability n being able to bring his ball-handling skills to the position where he shouldnt have been playing anyway

Tevita Vaikona & Lesley Vainakolo for the same reasons as previously stated.

And Shaun Ainscough, may not of been the best and had his flaws, but for someone who was from Wigan he seemed to bleed Red Amber & Black.

Not too hard really Les & TV the V bombers, definately the best pair of widemen in the modern era. Third for me would be Marcus Bai another winger who never shirked the hard graft as well as being a great finisher.

Sherriffe
Zisti
Tupou





Surprised that Semi isn't pushing for the 3rd spot behind Les and TV. Still our highest scoring winger since Lesley left (I believe).

This will be done before the Fullback vote: same as nearly everybody else, TV and Big Les - in any order.

No votes for Tupou??????

It's an easy choice this one - Vaikona and Vainakolo by the proverbial country mile

What's interesting, when you see the whole list, is just how many absolute donkeys we've had on the wing during our SL era. No names, no pack drill - but surely you can see what I mean?

What no Stuart Reardon?

Mackay and Bai both gave you good service, albeit at the end of their careers. I would have happily kept both on at Leeds.

Scales, Cook and Pratt on the other hand... I suppose they all got to enjoy scoring tries against us, before disappearing into obscurity pretty quickly. Pratt may have been unlucky with injury though IIRC?

What does Nobby call wingers? "Blokes that hang around with a rugby team". Says it all!

Pre SL my favourite winger was Phil Ford, right up until he went to Leeds!

The 'Rubber Man'



Never quite lived up to his Bradford form at Leeds (by no means the only one in those days), still a quality player though.

What, no Brimah Kebbie? Disgraceful!

TV and Les. Not even a 3rd choice worthy.

Semi - I hated him after he limped off clutching his hamstring in a big defeat away to Wigan with about 20 odd minutes to go, yet was fine all week and not in doubt to play next game even scoring a try that took some sprinting. No doubt he would have been my third choice otherwise but it irked me letting his team mates and fans down like that. Strange how some things make players gods or villains.

Third choice is Pratt I guess injury did curtail his career (shoulder i think). Loved his all action style and his defence was amazing and probably why his career ended before it should, I rememeber one tackle and probably one of my favourites on brad davis where he telegraphed it seeming to sprint thirty yards and put a massive tackle on that really took wind out of davis. Wish we had a player able to cover wing,halves and hooker to his standard.

I did like Bai, Mackay (played more centre in second spell at club), and raynor as well but they didn't play long enough to earn a pick for me - And Pryce was good on the wing initially but was always a 6 for me. Oh and rikki sheriffe did score our only two tries in an Easter victory against leeds which was special with all abuse he was receiving at time.

Clearly I must have missed him, but who is Justin Brooker? Surely he can't have made many appearances , or am I having another senior moment (again)

Justin Brooker. Was with us in 2000. Then went to Wakey IIRC. He was a bit of a titch. Not that great. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Brooker

The one I can't recall at all is Joe Tamani

Joe tamani AKA the fridge was either 96 or 97. Think 96 - was a bullocking type fijian winger if i remember rightly hard to stop and huge
