Actually I've decided this is very difficult because the sport has changed incredibly over the last 20 years.

Jiffy and Bateman are my centres but against King and Senior ??

Size-wise it's a non starter - and King is really world class - but there's something about them pair that really is awe inspiring.

Bateman wan't known as 'Clamp' for nothing even though he was mayve 5'10''.

And Jiffy - well - you don't get Man Of Steel for nothing.....

Against King and Senior ??? check out his try for GB at Wembley he goes round Bradley clyde goes past Steve Renouf and Leaves Wendell Sailor in a different post code.....then rounds 6ft 3 Brett mullins for a try in the corner

he'd Make King and Senior look like clowns if he played next week....

Yeah Davies and Bateman would have had no problem in the modern game. They came over from RU as amateurs and a few months training in an RL environment and they were top RL centres, in an era when there were better centres around than there are today (eg Newlove, Bell, Gibbs). I reckon if you put Davies and Bateman in todays SL training schedules they would be the best 2 centres in SL today.

From the replies so far it seems like Morley and Westwood are in everybodys teams, and most people have Monaghan as well, and a lot of mentions for Hicks. When they are put alongside the other names that have come up it puts into context how these guys are going to be remembered as Wire legends.
