not a patch on Inga. He won't be up to league standards anymore, as he's been in union for way too long. Mind you, are any of our players league standard??
Inga is a legend in both codes. He is the reason i first went to Central Park. He was the best winger in Union in the late 80's early 90's. Lomu was never in this guys class.

Never a league legend - he never played long enough and never played rep for NZ as far as I am aware.

Sorry people this guy was a legend. I can remember him doing this mad pass where he spun his arm in a big circle and releases the pass at the bottom during a warm up.My mate said cheeky @*!&$%@ he couldnt do that during a match oh yes he did and missed three players out and we scored off it in the corner. Boxing day last minute stains the look on the players faces at fulltime will stay with me forever.

Is that you in the picture?
No never a league legend and not even a union legend because he never played internationally long enough to be a union legend and only completed a year or so at Wigan.
You don't know the meaning of the phrase.

Surely a legend is somone who stays in your memory once there initial fame has gone.Due to the fact that somone has mentioned him in this thread and others agree fulfil the criteria for LEGEND.I never said he was the greatest player of his generation or even the best player at the club at at the time i just think we was a great player to watch.
What do you consider a requirement to be for a legend King Boody Arthur i didnt see him in the cherry and white so hes out.
