the likes of Lam, connolly, lucas, clarke, panapa, BJM, Iro's, dermott, tuigamala... for one for me arent worth their names in the hall of fame, decent/great players but not for me. Thank god it's only 2 inductees per season.

I think there should be a minimum length of service involved in the award. Inga was great, yeah, but played less than 100 games for us; I'd suggest 200 appearances minimum.

I'd be prepared to make an exception to that for Offiah, but I'd pick a lot of others ahead of him; Billy Whizz for one!

Awww they were world class for Wigan we won the lot with these players i also forgot....

Simon Haughton,And Billy Whizz :doz:

B.J Mather was a class player and better than bloody Paul Newlove.
And it is a good job theres only 2 inductees a year otherwise it would get silly as there was so many fantastic players.

BJ was nothing more than a great big fairy prancing around the field. Requesting to play centre - c'mon he was defensively poor and frightened like a rabbit when he met with aggressive tactics.

Theres only one Barry John one Barry Johhhnnn theres only one Barry John, The Peter Crouch of Rugby league might not look the part but effective.

You either love him or hate him and i think he has legandary status just like the guys ive included him with, There all legends.

The only effect he had on me was consternation at his crap defence. He buggered of to Sale so he could play centre, then, because he found out he wasn't good at Union, returned to League with Castleford - where he covered himself with little glory IMO.

As ive said before you either love him or hate him and i thought he was great reminds me of Peter Crouch hes a marmite player too.And IMO deserves to be with the greats ive mentioned.

Get Barrett and Fecka in there, Also Dallas and for the sheer hell of it (or stupidity) Dobson for getting us out of the sh*t last season.

This isnt a list of my fave players in my view these are worthy of Hall of Fame status.

I am getting to the point where I think Lancaster07 is just trolling. To talk of putting the likes of BJ Mather, Dobbo, or half of the others he mentions in the WRL hall of fame, or even to talk of them as LEGENDS is not only plain stupid, but is belittling the true legends that have graced the cherry and white
Opinions are one thing, but if you look at some of his recent posts they are downright idiotic.
