Greatest Wigan 17 in the last 20 Years

Post by Deltic3 »


With all the debate the thread of " Your 3 heroes " is causing what about the greatest 17, in the last 15 - 20 years.

Heres mine:

1 Kris Radlinski
2 Jason Robinson
3 Ellery Hanley
4 Gene Miles
5 Martin Offiah
6 Shaun Edwards
7 Andy Gregory
8 Kelvin Skerrett
9 Terry Newton
10 Terry O'Connor
11 Denis Betts
12 Andy Farrell
13 Phil Clarke

Subs

14 Neil Cowie
15 Andy Platt
16 Henry Paul
17 Gary Connolly.

I would certainly have liked to see this lot play together. Don't think Bratfot would have stood much of a chance!

Just because i dont think Edwards was a natural 6 but was the best 7 i have ever seen (including Johns) so I picked him there and put the natural 6 in at stand off in Henry. Also think these 2 would distribute the ball quicker 2 the awesome outside backs as Gregs used to have to turn his back on the opposition due to only being able to pass off 1 hand naturally. In fact i would put Lam in ahead of Gregs just for this reason. Dont get me wrong though Gregory was an absolute star and legend but i just think we have had an embarsaament of Rich's in the 7 shirt over the years.
