live i have only ever seen one, kirs radlinski...
he was safe as houses under the high ball, if someone broke through you could guarantee rads would stop it, in attack iv there was an overlap rads would be there on the end of it, his combination with lam and farrell was immense... and thats what were missing
2002 challenge cup final his best moment, true dedication love for his club and clearly the best full back i have ever seen...
Proud of were he is from, said no to better offers from rugby union on a number of ocasions...

Re: Your Best Wigan RLFC Fullb...
I think around 1994/95 Mullins was freakish for Canberra. Some of the tries he scored from virtually his own try line. His father by all accounts was a very good player too in the 70's.God wrote:Radlinski/Hampson.
Lydon.
In that order. That drop goal on halfway from Lydon im sure hes done it twice tho :doz: :doz:
Best over seas fullback ive ever seen was Brett Mullins for the green and gold and David Peachy in his prime was equally as good.
Minechello was also very dangerous when i saw him at the JJB.
