| Quote Biff Tannen="Biff Tannen"Indeed.you merely worded it wrong. Instead of producing a conveyor belt of talent you should have said they boasted an all star roster.not that they didn't produce their own stars i mean - betts, edwards, clarke, farrell and Cassidy would back that up but the domination really was built on buying up the marquee names.'"
it was implied that Offiah was a wigan product not a world record signing. |

As much as I hate to say it as a Widnes and Wigan star- Offiah was an incredible player and the most dangerous runner I’ve ever seen (been watching since the late 80s). Robinson was terrific but Offiah’s sheer pace made him virtually untouchable. Des Drummond was also terrific for us and Leigh around the same time and earlier.

I don't think Usain Bolt would have made Dessie look like Paul Wellens; Dessie was seriously fast. |

| Quote Bullseye="Bullseye"Offiah was easily the best winger of his era. =#FF0000I’ve not seen anyone with his pace and his ability to read the game and get himself in the right position to score. How many times did he just turn up on the opposite wing or on the shoulder of someone in midfield? Loads. When you add Olympic standard speed to that you have a special player. If he got the ball with daylight in front of him he scored 9 times out of 10 no matter where on the field or what distance.
Robinson was world class and had amazing footwork and pace of the mark. He could make a fool of the best defenders. But he wasn’t able to do the special things Offiah could.'" come on Dwain Chambers had a fair but of pace  |

Offiah for me for his pure speed, I’ve seen both of them train when I use to do my track sessions and stamina work.
Everything Offiah did was 20, 50, 100 metre pyramid sessions, Robinson use to do a lot of gut wrenching hill sessions and speed footwork.
Offiah could do 100 metres and not lose any velocity, Robinson would slow down after 50 metres but his acceleration from a standing start was top drawer.

| Quote bren2k="bren2k"Offiah - easily the best I've ever seen.
I remember watching him demolish us, and some old lad turned to his mate and said, "he's a bloody one trick pony that Offiah - all he does is score tries." Classic miserable old Wakey fan banter.'"
Not just Wakey fans. There used to be a bloke who stood near me who, whenever Big Les crashed over yet again, used to moan that Barrie McDermott could've scored just as many if he'd hidden out on the wing.
Back on topic, has to be Offiah. When I saw him run in ten - in one game - against us I was convinced I'd not see Leeds outdo Wigan in my lifetime. If ever there was a truly crushing defeat, that was it. |

Offiah best classic winger I've ever seen. Robinson a totally different type of player.
Not really comparable but offiah for me.

That was clearly Brian Bevan. |

INOUTOffiah by a huge, huge margin over Robinson. A way better winger. To me Robinson could have made a great halfback.

Offiah, more consistent over a longer period at the highest level. Robinson had a good few years, but there's no way he'd be a winger if he came through now.

Stop you right there as your twisting things in a big way as usual.
By the time Offiah finally met Drummond the latter was well past his best. Still s cracking player but much slower than in his prime.
Personally I rate Offiah as better but in his prime Drummond would have kept up with him in every way.
