| Much as I liked Hicks, can he really be deemed better than J Monaghan?

THAT hat-trick at Wembley puts him above Joel(just!!)in my opinion.

I don't think so. Joel was try a game average.

| Trent Waterhouse and Louis Anderson 2nd row.
Harry Bath was before my time so can't compare really.
No-one has mentioned Bill Shankland - possibly for the same reason.

In terms of pure try scoring you're - only just, but in terms of a complete wing I'd have to have Hicks.
I think - but could be wrong - that Hicks didn't play in our 'best' side of that era. That side would be the one in Joels first year.
Hicks' hat trick at Wembley for example was simply world class showing power, speeds, athleticism and skill.
In terms of modern day Warrington overseas wingers they both stand out for me.

Honestly yes, i thought Hicks was unreal and scored some amazing tries. I'd pick him ahead of Joel. Just my oppinion though

| I would put Hicks above Joel Monaghan. But happy to have both in the best overseas Wire team of my era watching.
1 Brett Hodgson
2 Joel Monaghan
3 Toa Kohe-Love
4 Matt King
5 Chris Hicks
6 Nat Wood
7 Allan Langer
8 Danny Nutley
9 Michael Monaghan
10 Ashton Sims
11 Louis Anderson
12 Trent Waterhouse
13 Sid Domic
14 Brent Grose
15 Darren Burns
16 Paul Rauhihi
17 David Solomona
I wanted a prop on the bench so went for Rauhihi who after an underwhelming first season ended up being useful. Haven't got a halfback on the bench but would unquestionably be Greg Mackey.

Toa is English and not overseas. Although he did play for one of the Māori indigenous splinter international teams.

Toa is a New Zealander.
He had an English mother and his father was a New Zealander, and hence that qualified to play for England/UK. and also New Zealand.

| I started watching just after the Brian Johnson, Phil Blake and Les Boyd era.
Saw some fine overseas players in the early 90s - Mercer, Mann, Kelly Shelford, but those players were surpassed by the ones who played in the Tony Smith era.

It was the inclusion of Sims that took my attention. Jesus Christ. To think we used to have Boyd and Tamati.
Have we really not had a better overseas prop ?

| Andrew Gee or Ashton Sims?
Or have Guisset at prop before either of them.
