You're a secret Wigan fan?
'Cause only Wigan fans would pick any ex-Wigan players in a best players thread. |

Anyhoo
Ellery Handley - Simply the greatest play I've seen play the game
Shaun Edwards - Can't leave him out
Kevin Ward - I was on at Knowsley Road when he broke his leg, a phenomenal player.
Martin Offiah - A record that stands for itself.
Andy Gregory - Streets ahead of Schofield.
If I had to be pressed for more I'd be looking at Betts, Platt, Robinson (anyone notice a theme here?)'"
Oh the irony! Would that be Hanley? |

Ellery Hanley by a mile !
Garry Schofield
lots of others close for the next 3 places eg - Cunningham, Davies, Edwards - i liked Chris Joynt when he was playing, Steadman was another i liked when i was younger as was Andy Gregory.
Too many to mention really but Ellery Hanley was miles ahead for me

So hard not to make this all about the great Wigan players of the late 80s/early 90s, but:
Farrell (Hanley was past his peak by the time I got into Rugby League, so for sheer guts and determination Farrell is the best player I've ever seen)
Hanley (One of the best attackers ever)
Jason Robinson (by far the best winger to have graced the game in either code)
Cunningham (would have walked into any of the great Wigan teams)
Scully (it really does pain me to say this, but if GB had 11 Scullys and Farrells, plus 1 Radlinski and 2 Jason Robinson's on the pitch we'd have walked away with the ashes).
To leave out the likes of Edwards and Gregory though is just crazy. Can we not rename this thread the best GB 13 you've ever seen.

Ellery Hanley - Same reason as everyone else
David Hulme - I used to love watching Doug Laughton's Widnes
John Woods - I'm a biased one eyed Leigh fan
Andy Gregory - Magical player
Kevin Ward - 1988 ashes tour amongst other reasons
Honorable mentions also to Karl Fairbank, Paul Dixon, Des Drummond, Jonathon Davies and Jason Robinson.
