So are you just going to say Wigan are better than Leeds or are you going to actually come up with a Wigan Born XVII in order to have a meaningful debate.

Leeds Born XVII v Wigan Born XVII

You probably couldn’t come up with a better best of all time match in the country apart from Yorkshire Born XVII v Lancashire born XVII.

Very difficult (so many to chose from) but here goes.

Team 1 (all Wigan born and played for Wigan) all Internationals and six international captains
1 Kris Radlinski
2 Jack Hilton
3 Chris Hesketh
4 Martin Gleeson
5 Joe Lydon
6 Shaun Edwards
7 Andy Gregory
8 Ken Gee
9 Joe Egan
10 Brian McTigue
11 Bill Ashurst
12 Andy Farrell
13 Phil Clarke

Team 2 (all Wigan born) all Internationals and only two who didn't play for Wigan
1 Martin Ryan
2 Gordon Ratcliffe
3 Ernie Ashcroft
4 Keith Holden
5 John Stopford
6 Dave Bolton
7 Sean Long
8 John Barton
9 Martin Dermott
10 Andy Platt
11 Norman Cherrington
12 Mick Cassidy
13 Mike Gregory


Team 3 (all Wigan born) 11 Internationals and only one player who hasn't played for Wigan.
1 Shaun Briscoe
2 Liam Colbon
3 Jackie Cunliffe
4 Paul Johnson
5 Johnny Lawrenson
6 Stefan Ratchford
7 Tommy Bradshaw
8 Frank Collier
9 Terry Newton
10 Shaun Wane
11 Stephen Wilde
12 Sean O'Louglin
13 Roy Evans

And I still couldn't fit in the likes of Paul Deacon, Bill Sayer, Colin Clarke etc.

Would that be the slipstream left by the hundreds of fans doing the ‘Wigan Walk’on 73 minutes?

You mean they stay 13 minutes longer nowadays ?

Back on topic.
Your best Leeds born 13 MIGHT just about compete with the 3rd team I posted, but wouldn't get within 20 points of the 2nd or 40 of the 1st.

Check your history, Rugby League didn't begin in 2005.

Given that every team you posted is a mix of players from different era's it's just YOUR opinion and not FACT!!
We know Wigan USED to be good we hear it often enough from you pie fans who have nothing else to cling onto.

Who cares? We’re current Champions and you’re not… and the thread is called LEEDS Born, what makes you think anyone on here gives a flying fook about a Wigan born 13?
