Quote ="exiled Warrior"Agree with Nigel Wright - probably the best stand off of his generation (or certainly would have been injuries permitting - and from what I was told at the time it was a miracle he could even play at all given how bad his injury was)
How about
MARK PRESTON
Seriously quick but never really hit the top level - with such pace he should have been a top winger for many years.
TONY IRO
Big and pretty quick but always seemed to be overshadowed by his brother - also never seemed to settle into a position - physically looked the part but never seemed to make the most of it -at least when at Wigan.'"
If ever the highlighted part of this post was in the wrong topic this is surely it.
Tony Iro was the complete opposite.
He came over as a complete unknown, to carry is famous brothers bags and keep him company. He got a trial with Wigan after playing only amateur rugby over here, became a Wigan regular and NZ test player and ended up as assistant coach of the NZ national team coaching staff!!
