Joe Ropati (lazy at times but hugely destructive when he was on his mettle)
but place of honour goes to the wonderful, sublime John Woods. I'd give anything just to be able to see him murder Ellery Hanley straight from the scrum to score on his Locker Cup debut, in the flesh, one last time (Open Rugby had a brilliant photo of it that adorned my bedroom wall, the look on Hanley's face said a thousand words).

Ronnie Rhino Duane, the face of eternal youth, he must be 50+ and looks 15!
Great player who would never get into a best of topic.
That's why I started this thread.
Your team of heroes not necessarily the best or even all wires! |

There's no wrong or right.
I think I remember ROBY playing out in the centres once or twice, I remember John Bevan playing at centre a couple of times also.
Anyways I want Roby in but he'll have to play as a centre as I can't see Nicolas or Martyn being able too!'"
I'm pretty sure he played centre on a few occasions when Ashcroft was in charge. (83/84) |

A great memory I have of Roby Müller was of meeting him along with the Lancashire cup in the newly built golden square, out front of our price records.

Danny Nutley a great choice, if he hadn't have left us he might have been in mine too.

We had him for 3 or 4 years before he went to the NRL. Can't blame him for that. Then he made Origin.

| Quote: Original Wolfie "Alex Murphy what a coach and player. What a character he was on the pitch, and still is off the pitch. My all time hero that guy.'"
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. |
