I know what you mean, but it's a different game and far more structured now.
Defensively I think he may struggle but I know he always somehow seemed to come up with the goods in defence back in those days.
In attack - well awesome.

Remember the match against Saints when we were up 20-0 at half time and he was bombing Anthony Sullivan time and again giving Fozzie 3 tries. Amazing.
I'll never forget him virtually pushing Ellis out of the way to take up the no 6 position just so that he could bomb Sullivan again......and Fozzie scored again!!

Or against Fax in the cup when he scored 2 blinders (saw it on the Beeb).
Or against Keigthly when we played carp and we awful and he comes up with a totally off the cuff play to score - and we won with the last play of the game. On and on I could go!

i like it, a lot! nice selection, saves me thinking any more!

Take off the primrose & blue tinted glasses and see that there are two potential successors in Eastmond & Sam Tomkins. Not there yet but every chance to be in the next 5 years.

I agree that both these guys have huge potential....Eastmond, especially, reminds me of Jason Robinson in his running style. Tomkins has the daring to do the unpredictable, though I'm not sure he has the skills of a Davies or a Woods.

I just think in the modern game many coaches are scared to death to let their 'individuals' off the leash....Its obvious that the players still have the neccessary skills, just witness the semi final try against Catalans when Briers chips across field to Hicks (and on it went....) or last year, when Riley chipped over the Bulls defence for a length of the field try....It's just a shame that players only try these things when games are safely in the bag.

hands up if you thought Ben Westwood would feature in an all time Warrington greats team 3 years ago?

Not me....but he's a shoe in now...fantastic effort from Ben..most improved player in our history?
