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.

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

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.
