Not sure. two different types of players really. Mark Roberts though would have been a world beater. Probably oe of my fave 5 ever warrington players.

Mark Roberts was always a victim of head high tackles for some reason. Uncanny how many times he got decked. Very very unlucky player who could/should have been a GB international IMO. Quick, classy and powerful.

"phil ford, he's a bit of a stepper replacing hugh wardell, in jumper no. 15 it's brian case oooh and he does a bit of a boogie gregory and gregory, sounds like a firm of solicitors put the glasses down he's under the black dot" Sounds of Sydney 1988.:6771.jpg



Quote: The Angry Pirate "Comparing Roberts & Gregory is a bit unfair as they were 2 different types of player....Certainly if you are asking if Roberts would have become a superstar, then most definitely yes......Without sounding cynical, Wigan would have had him snapped up and feeding off Andy Gregory, and Denis Betts might never have been seen in the Cherry & White!!...

At that time Wire had one of the most complete packs you could ever wish to see on a Rugby League pitch...Front row of Boyd, Tamati & Jackson was simply awesome in a very scary way....Boyd had all the skills, whilst the other 2 backed him up with fearsome aggression.....The back row of Roberts, Sanderson & Gregory complemented them perfectly, Roberts dynamic running, Sanderson's workaholic tackling, and Gregory's all-round skills were a joy to behold.

For about a year when that pack was on form, watching Wire was probably the most enjoyable experience I have had watching ANY sport...
What a team!!!!-



All time favourite kit too, I proudly wore that top watching Greg score at Wembley 20 years ago eusa_clap.gif

At the risk of incurring the wrath of Nostalgia Inc., this year's pack has the potential to rival that one...

Morley, Monaghan, Carvell
Louis, Westwood, Harrison.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union. www.squadbuilder.co.uk:1883.jpg

Hmmm. The abilities are equal, but the '87 pack had that bit of nastiness, that the current doesn't have. Arguably, that pack wouldn't be able to play in today's game, far too close to the wind, I would imagine.
