Cas for a season in 06, he got in super league dream team!

Probably the greatest all round rugby player I ever saw but also one of the nastiest and underhand. The ultimate professional who would stop at nothing to get winning pay as easily as possible.
Was it the 68 CC Final when Wigan had no hooker and he and Billy Sayers took in turns to stand offside and get the ball back. It completely ruined the game for impartial spectators and caused a change in the rules?
Undoubtedly an all time great but not the stuff of heroes in my book.

Still have fond memories of john woods skinning hanley, remember seeing the picture showing the look on hanleys face.

1966. Younger readers should note that at the time you had to kick either for touch or goal from a penalty and if you kicked for touch it was a scrum. Sayer won the scrums about 21-5. First final I can remember.

I find these exercises impossible because there are too many genuine contenders for each position. For example, how can you pick Ben Westwood and leave out Mike Nicholas or Harry Bath or Bob Ryan etc.,etc.
There is only one position that is not in dispute. That is right wing and there are no prizes for guessing who would fill that berth

the question is about who was your heroes and not particularly who is best.

....for example John Pendlebury was someone I admired as a player and a coach, and he wasn't a wire.

I am not misunderstanding the question and I am sorry if I gave that impression but all I am saying is that each generation has it's own heroes and it is hard to pick one against the others with the exception of Bev who was a complete one off.
I suppose the biggest heroes of most fans are the players who they first remember as a kid which in my case would be the players of the fifties.

Yes W1 is see that.
