I started trying to put my favourite all time team together. However, due to my inability to make a decision, I can't decide who I would prefer where, we've had that many World class players that I'm finding it almost impossible.
Rad's or Hampson at Full Back?
Miles, Bell, Renouf, connolly, Tuigamala at Centre?
I suppose the halfbacks should be a bit easier but this is still a headache,
Kenny, Edwards, Botica, Barrett, Moran (only joking

)
I think I'm just going to revel in the satisfaction of having seen so many greats play for our club over the past 25 years that I've been supporting them.

Radlinski, Robinson, Tuigamala, Bell, Offiah, Botica, Edwards, Skerrett, Dermott,Lydon, Platt, Clarke, Farrell, Gregory, Hanley, Boston, Sullivan
The first 15 upto Gregory, give or take a few years were generally THE team I watched week in week out home and away and why I love Wigan RLFC.
I think that is an interesting way to look at it, in terms of actual past Wigan sides as opposed to a greatest ever team picked from different eras. I can't really name my absolute best ever team without thinking I have left out some truly great players because there is only 17 in a team!
That team I posted the other week which went to Milwaukee was a very good team for example.

Ellery Hanley is the only British Player to be recognised in the best ever world 13 team, according to our Southern Hemisphere counterparts.
Dean Bell is a legend.
