Big Mal doesnt make it due to the 3/4 of a season he played compared to the other 2 centres plus other greats like Loughlin, Groves, hunte, Ropati, Mann Pinner, Arkwright, Ledger
HOWEVER what about a worst Saints 13?

In the Super League era, John Hamilton and Paul Anderson (not Baloo)?

If you wanna get technical Connolly was a right centre for Saints not a left one and whilst in a Saints shirt was never at the same level of Newlove. Even when Connolly was at his peak I would say he would compliment Newlove rather than replace him. |

Watching since 1966 and would have to say that the following must get a mention:
Jonny Walsh
George Nicholls
Gary Connolly as a full back over Wellens
Andy Platt
for the worst team - anybody remember John Wills / Sean Day / Bobby Wanbon?

My all time favourite Saints player.
Pure class, and a sad loss to the game when he retired early.
Another favourite of mine was Frank Wilson. Top man, he used to come and have a game of football with us on Banks park in Billinge, lovely man, and took all our "Wigan stick" the way it was meant. |

What about Kenny Gill.
Did he play for Saints before he went to Salford?
Great ball playing half back.
