Greg, Lam, Mike Ford, Sean Edwards, Tommy Bradshaw. That's as far back as I go.
Reckon Greg shades it for me.

Frankie Parr, Adriam Lam, Shaun Edwards. Greg was great going forward but attitude and defence let him down.
Edwards for me.

I'd like to nominate Jimmy Nulty. He was scrum half during that difficult spell in the mid-1970's when Wigan tried to rebuild a decent side but ultimately failed. Maybe he wasn't as naturally talented as Gregory and a few others, but he had all the skills including tackling, kicking and a strong defence.
He was arguably the best Wigan player who never won a winners medal - even managing to miss the Lancashire cup win in 1973 through injury. An inspirational player, and very consistent - I don't remember him having a bad game in five years in the jersey.

Lammy for me. for someone like Rads to say he is the best player he ever played with says alot about his skill in the game. he was also someone i looked up to as i started watching Wigan in 2001 and even at only 9 years old could see the work he did to make an impact on the games

Unless I'm mistaken, Nulty was one of the ringleaders in the strike which ultimately led to our relegation!

I'll throw Bradshaw's name into the ring like some other posters. Was an exceptional player by all accounts. Amongst the other obvious choices
What about Thomas Leuluai? Has a strong case being world cup winner, tri-nations, harry sunderland, etc etc even though he is current his only weakness seems to be his kicking at times.
