Your Position if you played for Wigan?
If, by some chance, Ian Millward signed you up to play for Wigan in 2006... or are/was even good enough in the 50s, 60s, 70s etc and played for Wigan, what would your position be?
When I played they called me The Eel as I was 'slippery in the tackle'... right Centre or left wing (i cant pass to my left as good as my right)
So I would wear the #3 or #2 shirt.

Dunno really I'd have to ask the resident genius (CPW) which position would suit best.
Like Fielden 2nd row, Hock at prop and Barret at lock!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Your Position if you playe...
Unfortunately it would change with age. Started as a centre. Played some stand off too. As the waist expanded and the years multiplied loose forward then to prop.
I was a decent left centre with a good right hand hand off,played above my age group etc but unfortunately I am of an age when RL was in the doldrums and they made us play Union so I ended up playing an awful lot of football instead.
Sounds silly now but back then if you were from Standish or Shevington, RL was virtually non existent.
