Edwards could play scrum half, stand off and full back to an equal level of brilliance. Gregory was an out and out scrum half. Edwards for me for the reasons outlined above.

Went to a sportsmans dinner and Greg was speaking. He was asked which was his favourite game of his career and said 'that's easy, when we beat Saints 29-0 at Wembley'! Quick as a flash a Saints fan shouted it was 27 not 29! Gregory started laughing and said ' oh that's right, I often forget our score but I never forget yours'! The cheer was deafening!!!

I have heard that story before, classic!!!

So why were the Aussies more impressed with Greg?

Because he was a better RL player.

Vaeliki v Carmont?



oh hang on, ive only got an hour and a half

One area where we've generally had stability in the Wigan club is fullback.

How about Tyrer v Fairbairn v Hampson v Radlinski v Tomkins. Feel free to jump in where your watching started. For mine they all have areas where they are better than the rest; I would say the early years Fairbairn edges it at the moment; he was proven at test level and excelled in a generally poor Wigan team. I do expect Sam to surpass him in the next few years.

Dallas by plenty.

How's about Dave Furner vs Ryan Hoffman?

I'd go Hoffman I think. He's obviously fresh in the memory but he was superb for us last year. Both he and Furner have had good test careers but the Hoff would edge it for me due to his attacking threat. He runs great lines and busts defences open more then Furner did whilst for me being as tough in the tackle and as hardworking as Furner.

Both cracking players mind.

Some for the more 'mature' posters (mainly Rogue

)......

F Griffiths v C Tyrer
T Lake v H Gill
E Ashton v D Bell
K Jones v M Preston
D Bolton v T Barrett
F Parr v A Lam
B McTigue v K Skerrett
C Clarke v T Newton
D Gardiner v T O'Connor
B Francis v G Carmont
D Robinson v H Hansen
D Laughton v S O'Loughlin
N Cherrington v R Hoffman
J Robinson v M Offiah
D Stephenson v M Gleeson
R Evans v A Goodway
.....................................I've tried to match players of similar abilities, good luck !!

Martin Dermot v Robbie McCormack
Phil Clarke v Sean O'Loughlin
Andy Platt v Terry O'Connor
Nigel Wright v Julian O'Neill
Tony Smith v Willy Peters

Any thoughts?

I go Dermot, O'Loughlin, Platt, Wright, Smith.

The aim of the game nowadays is to win at all costs and that's why I'd want Edwards in my team over Gregory (if we're saying they're vying for the same position). For viewing pleasure Greg over Edwards every time for me. Criminal waste of talent at times.
Dallas over Carney. Slow start from Brian if I remember rightly and Dallas had a better general rugby league mind. Not surprising seeing as Carney came to the game at a much later age.
For me Lockers is greatly underrated in this country. I genuinely think he's world class and has proved myself and many others wrong in his role as captain. Having said all that Faz was Faz. A club legend who lead us and Great Britain at just 21 years of age.

Harrison Hansen v Mick Cassidy

You b*gg*r

You knew Frankie Parr was my hero

Christ man





Farrell by a absolute huge margin.

Cassidy just.

but ask again in 1-2 years

left field to stop thread drift on another thread.

Sinfield or O'Loughlin

Haha I knew this was coming.

As I said on VT Sinfield has played in a side that has won grand final after grand final, Lockers has spent most of his captaincy in a pretty average side, like I said, if Lockers was fit for the four nations, he would have started at 13.

I appreciate Sinfield played 6 in the 4 nations but IMO Lockers is a far better Rugby league player with a far better rugby league brain than Sinfield will ever be. He was getting slated on the Leeds board last season when they were losing and I recall certain posters naming him "Mr Average"

If i'm honest i couldn't answer this, Lockers has been my top rated Wigan player for a while, and Sinfield has attributes that Lockers doesn't have, the only way to decide would be a fight to the death.

Name one apart from kicking goals.

Don't be so quick to dismiss that, Sinfield isn't just a goal kicker, he's a very good goal kicker, he's also bossed and organised that team to a lot of success, a great captain makes an immense difference, that's not knocking Lockers captaincy btw.

Ohh thats a good one....?

Ask again in a few years

What about

Bell v Twiggy?

Two of my all time favorites.

I know, how dare you pick Goodway over Roy Evans




a couple more I'd like your opinion on.........

F Collier v Q Pongia
G Lyon v N DuToit
I Potter v M Cassidy
E Ashcroft v G Connolly
L Gilfedder v P Clarke
B Nordgren v J Ferguson
B Case v N Cowie

Rogues, how would you compare the Wigan team of the early 1990s with that of the 1890s?

Lydon vs Botica vs Richards

Who would you rather have in your team as a goalkicking fullback/winger?

Botica
