Now a legend we all know is Ellery Hanley. You could put him into any team and you would see the difference. He would make the team. The team he was in would be lucky to have him, he wouldn't be lucky to be in that team
And there is the difference between a legend and and a average player like Shaun Edward's!

Wow. Some of the views expressed above are so ludicrous I thought I was reading a Brexit thread.

Lets be fair the triangle was unreal gregory edwards and hanley...... debatably as good as any ive seen......i did think edwards was the weaker of the three but they all had pluses and minuses....... edwards paul and bell was a pretty good triangle also....... regardless of what edwards has done hes was far from an average player........ had his moments but still one of our best imo

Smith was an International scrum half. He wasn’t that bad. Good at taking on the line and supporting players. Edwards passing game was outstanding though, something that Smith didn’t have.

Weaker I suppose in the sense that Hanley was a 9.9, Greg a 9.8 and Edwards a 9.7.Firestarter wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2019 7:11 pm Lets be fair the triangle was unreal gregory edwards and hanley...... debatably as good as any ive seen......i did think edwards was the weaker of the three but they all had pluses and minuses....... edwards paul and bell was a pretty good triangle also....... regardless of what edwards has done hes was far from an average player........ had his moments but still one of our best imo

Ellery Hanley was our Crown Jewel
Our Holy Trinity will always be: Sullivan, Boston and Hanley
Edwards falls into the Club Legend category alongside Leytham, Slevin, Miller, Todd, Egan, Ashton, Gee, Vaealiki, Offiah etc...
