Kevin Iro. I agree with Dirtbag. Iro was awsome at his peak. Brett Kenny was superb but only played for one season.

I agree with you about Kenny, but I'm going for Deano - only Edwards has a better CC record than him.

Course I was taking the p*ss but you've convinced me to put him forward has a serious credible candidate.......























































...............for the general election next month.

Always liked Trevor Lake. He scored a great try in the 1965 cup final against Hunslet.

I got bitten very badly by the Rugby League bug at that game.



However, for his overall contribution, I am going for Dean Bell.

Lee Hansen

Dean Bell - played in 7 of the eight challenge cup finals. Great player and adopted wiganer.

Cec Mountford could be considered, first 'overseas' winner of the Lance Todd in 1951, Dean Bell fantastic Wembley record plus a Lance Todd, hard to argue with his selection, but Brett Kenny was a dream of a player, 'The Natural' as he was named, "the best player I ever coached" said John Monie, more proof that we have been 'spoiled' over the years with great players !!!

Or Lance Todd himself, of course...so good they named a trophy after him...

That wasn't really for him playing career though, more for his coaching efforts at Salford. He neevr won the Challenge Cup with Wigan anyway.

The vote is for players that participated in the Challenge Cup at any stage. They don't need to have won the cup or even played in the final. Lance Todd certainly played in the cup for Wigan and probably played in the 1911 final when we lost to Broughton. He was also part of a very highly rated threequarter line so would have been a very good player. Though I doubt there are many people still around that would have seen him play so I can't see him polling too many votes.

Brett Kenny, Dean Bell or Kevin iro for me.

But just a little question, how many points did Frano get in his CC finals, is he the leading all time foriegn point scorer????

Why the wink, the bloke was awesome as a player and gave the best CCF performance I have ever seen.

True, but it was still only one game, Deano had 7 on the trot.

Agree tbh.

That performance was something special though. In fact the whole Wigan team performed well (as did Hull to be fair).

My biggest gripe with the Communist Cap is that it deprives the spectator of viewing talented players in the same team.

Brett Kenny
John Ferguson
Dean Bell
Kevin Iro

in that order, need i go on

I thought it was more for his work as a journalist including IIRC the BBC ?

If your still undecided on who gets your vote,there was and old bbc series called "up and under" that you can look up,the sheer steal that deano shows is immense.every young player today should me made to watch it to show them what true dedication and attitude is required to play at the top level.

jamie ainscough for that try saving interception in 02

Brett Kenny the player who admitted to throwing a game against saints so he didnt have to stay an extra week in Wigan......???

how very odd


incidently, Kevin Iro by some distance is the answer you were all looking for...


and whats the chicka ferguson love in for..? James leuluia has just as much if not more rights to be included in your lists

If it's one game, John Ferguson (everyone talks about Kenny but without Ferguson's pace we'd have lost the game).

If it's over the years, Edwards by a mile - with Dean Bell a Kilometre short

1. brett kenny, read his book you numpty



2. kevin iro was good buy not that good

3. as for ferguson he was very very quick off the mark and elusivley strong
22 tries in 21 games and won a few games singlehandedly for wigan...
imagine the strength of ellery hanley the acceleration of jason robinson+ a couple of yards faster and the unbelievable will to get over the line
that was ferguson no one could touch him... and a very quiet nice guy off the pitch

I don't think Scholes counts as overseas yet, Dave...

Numpty eh...
I wont Read Kenny's book thanks, I believe Shaun Edwards when I heard him speak about Brett Kenny "admitting in the Aussie press that he threw the game....." ...and how it sticks in his throat as you dont do that wearing a Wigan shirt etc etc...

has he (Kenny) since denied it in a book.....

I'm just off to Read John Terry's book I'm sure he says how important his wife and kids are....and he's a massive family man.. and has great mates....
