Just bored and thought of this. I have combined past and present Wigan players into 2 teams. Assume all players are at their absolute peak. Simple question, who would win and why?

Wigan 1
1 Sam Tomkins
2 Jason Robinson
3 George Carmont
4 Dean Bell
5 Pat Richards
6 Shaun Edwards
7 Paul Deacon
8 Brian Case
9 Tommy Leuluai
10 Andy Coley
11 Dennis Betts
12 Ryan Hoffman
13 Ellery Hanley

14 Liam Farrell
15 Ian Potter
16 Lee Mossop
17 Terry O Connor

Wigan 2
1 Kris Radlinski
2 Josh Charnley
3 Gene Miles
4 Martin Gleeson
5 Martin Offian
6 Brett Finch
7 Andy Gregory
8 Stuart Fielden
9 terry Newton
10 Greg Dowling
11 Gareth Hock
12 Andy Goodway
13 Sean O Loughlin

14 henry Paul
15 harrison Hanson
16 Gary Connolly
17 Jeff Lima

It's a tough one but I think Team 2. The class of Radlinski, Miles, O Loughlin and the genious of Andy Gregory combined with the power of Dowling, Newton Hielden and Hock I think might just shade it.

Over to you......

Team 1.
Any team with Edwards, Bell and Hanley in it wouldn't consider losing.

What a game it could be, i would go for a team 1 win just

Team 1.

Team 1. Edwards, Hanley, Robinson and tomkins. What I would do to see those players all at their peak in the same team. Add in offiah, radders and Farrell and you remember how lucky as fans we have been to watch all these players.

I see a lack of a certain mr Farrell. Liam is there, but what about the man himself.

slightly off on a tangent, but just how hard was brian case ?.one of the unsung heroes for me. team 2 would slightly edge it

I tried to do one current player and one past in each position. Hanley got the nod in front of Faz but only by a whisker. Perhaps should have been on bench but that didn't sit right.

Josh Charnley on the wing?

In one of two all time Wigan teams?

Apologies, I only made as far as to JC in amazement

Now I've read on I can see it isn't an all time team (teams)

team 2

Team 1 no doubt in my mind would be clear winners.

Can't argue with that at all.

Team 1 would win easily, though if you paired Miles and Offiah (how could you not?), there'd be a few consolation tries from the greatest centre/wing combination in rugby history (or the modern era, at least).

No Dermott and Botica! Especially points machine Botica.

What Rogues said any team with Edwards, Bell and Hanley wouldn't allow the word 'lose' to be mentioned.

Very hard indeed, i remember in his player profile he claimed he did weights just to relax, the guy was an immense player under Graham Lowe

I hate trying to compare teams and players from different eras, but i would have loved to see a lot of players coached with todays modern methods and have access to the nutritional advice we get today.

Gregory, Miles and Offiah partnership, team 2.

Team 2, better 7,9 & 13.

The real question should be; what would win a fight between a tiger and a bear?

O'Loughlin better than Hanley?



I'm a big fan of Lockers but Hanley's the most talented player I've ever seen.

the 1991/92 team

Inga and Renouf have to be in there.

Is this an All Time list made into two teams ? If so where is Boston, Mctigue ,Ashton,Platt and Farrell ?

Or is this just a mix up of two great teams from 80s+ to present day ?

my moneys on team 3

Hampson
boston
ashton
renouf/iro
gill
bolton
barrett
platt
dermott
mctigue
ashurst
farrell
p. clarke

skerritt
cormack
renouf/iro
collier

Team 3 cheated as it had no present day players.

Team 1 for me, too many backs on the bench for team 2.

It's so hard to judge. The best winger of his generation, Offiah, would arguably struggle in the modern game.
