I may still be a bit giddy from tonights performance but, I think he is the best player running with the ball in the world, amazing balance, a devastating burst of speed and suprising upper body strength to burst through tackles all that with top class handling skills.

The RFL should allow us to break the bank to keep him this guy should be the poster boy for RL. You would have to be a liar to say you don't enjoy watching him.

That's a massive accolade with all the quality we've seen in that position over the years, BUT I agree, cpwigan.

Certainly the most exciting, game-breaker and his positional play on attack is awesome for the opposition to have to defend against.

His defence will improve with experience - defence is always more difficult to get right technically.

On course to become a true Wigan legend.

You are obviously too young to remember Jimmy Birts at his best! *sigh*

Obviously never saw Doc Murray in his prime!

He might be the best offensive FB we've had in the modern era but no way is he the best defensive FB. In my view you'd be better off asking who would you prefer at FB, Tomkins or Radlinski??

Agree: and I've seen some great full backs in my time going back to the '50's.
