2. Jason Robinson
3. Inga Tuigamala
4. Dean Bell (C)

Pardo me no 6 should read Shaun Edwards,proceeded by the almighty his majesty the general.
Not that he's my favourite all time player.
Good team choice

1. Radlinski
2. Robinson
3. Tuigamala
4. Bell
5. Offiah
6. Gregory
7. Edwards
8. Skerrett
9. Dermott
10.Cowie
11.Betts
12.Platt
13.Hanley
14.Farrell
15.Clarke
16.Hampson
17.Barrett


1-16 arguably the greatest team one could ever imagine at Wigan, the timeframes are a bit apart for some (hanley, radlinski, but the bulk was there.

Memories forever.

P.S. maff = Dom Joly?

Here's mine. (possibly subject to later amendment when other people come up with theirs!!!


1. George Fairbairn
2. Jason Robinson
3. Inga Tuigamala
4. Dean Bell
5. John Ferguson
6. Shaun Edwards
7. Andy Gregory
8. Craig Smith
9. Bill Sayer
10. Brian McTigue
11. Bill Ashurst
12. Andy Farrell
13. Ellery Hanley

Interestingly, we have both gone for Hanley at 13. I recall the almighty stink when he was first moved there from Stand Off!!

Rads, Robinson, Miles, Tuigamala, Offiah, Botica, Edwards, Cowie, Dermott, O'Connor, Cassidy, Farrell, Hanley

[jackoh]

Whilst I can go further back than 1983 , the best centre Wigan have had in this period was undoubtably Gene Miles.
He nearly always got his winger , Offiah away and most times than not he`ld score .
My team would be .
Radlinsky
Ferguson
Iro
Miles
Offiah
Kenny
Edwards
Platt
Dermott
Dowling
Goodway
Farrell
Hanley

Subs .
Barrett
Skerritt
Betts
Clarke

[Panchitta Marra]

And the best Wigan winger ever.
BILLY BOSTON.

Greatest player ever, without question.

And the best Wigan winger ever.
BILLY BOSTON.

Greatest player ever, without question.

Not everyones favourite A&L, but IMO Ellery Hanley would push him close.
As a player, the best 13 at Wigan and GB, and dare I say best ever loose forward in Rugby League.
Has this prompted any comments re-Faz and Australian loose forwards.
