13. Hanley
I challenge somebody to name a better halves/loose triangle than those three that played together at club level from any era.

| Quote ="Wires71"Your views would be appreciated. Bit of a thread on the wire board concerning whether Shaun Edwards lacked natural talent but made the best of what he had against those, like me, who suggest he should be considered a legend of the game. '"
Both statements are correct, if by lacking talent you mean that unlike, say Hanley, Edwards wasn't born a great athlete.
Some great players are immensely gifted physically, with the freakish speed of an Offiah, the powerful presence of a Farrell or the hands of a Miles.
Other great players are less gifted physically but have such a ruthless and single minded desire to win and such an appreciation and understanding of the game that they lift themselves from mediocrity to stand alongside the natural born geniuses of the game.
Sean Edwards was such a player. He wasn't born a great player, he made himself a great player. That to me is all the more impressive. His legendary status is fully deserved.

They would give anything to have an Edwards play for them, but then again, to them players like Paul Wellens and Vila Matutia are legends.

Didn't think it was possible to lose an opinion.
I will also add to that list
Lewis
Langer
A.N. Other - it doesn't really matter.
However, I would have thought Miles or Tallis played LF at some point.
The three you have mentioned were great Wigan players, but only Hanley was truely world class.
Edwards was fantastic for Wigan, but only "very good" for GB.
Greg the same and frankly was outclassed by Langer.

Lighten up a little....
Lewis, Langer & Tallis would be outstanding if they had played together at club level.

How about a triangle from Wigan's side c1995-6:
6. Paul
7. Edwards
13. Farrell
That trio would run the other one close!

Thinking about it I'm not sure they did. Tallis would have been a tad too young around 1990 I think.
Miles would have been though. He defo played SR, not sure about LF.

I think your right, but christ they would have been good together.
Miles was all class, to think, he was another the fans didnt take to at first.

Edwards is a legend just on what he achieved. I do think his ability is massivly overrated, and he never really delivered at the highest level. But at the same time Wigan wouldn't have been the same team without him.
