possibly one of the most underrated to have graced the shirt,wonder wot he's doin now?

The whole pack were stars. Mark Roberts strike rate was a try every other game.
Cullen & Garry Sanderson were ready to take over when he had to retire. Their try scoring rate was nowhere near as good, but what a tackling team of 2nd rows. They both gave 110%.

Don't know if he still does, but about 8 years ago a friend of mine saw him working on a nightclub door in Bolton. My favourite player......EVER!

No, that were Max and Paddy.

Not underrated, at all.

Number of International caps?

Played for the wrong team at the time, unfortunately.

He played for "Wigan's main challengers at the time" according to another thread on here, so he should have got a sniff, surely. Who were his competitors - Goodway, Platt, Dixon, Divorty..???

Not having a pop, btw, Roberts was one of my favourite players, but he clearly wasn't especially highly rated outside of Wilderspool.

Gregory aside, who did we have that was a regular GB squad member?

No-one. Forster got a couple of caps, Holden and Woods made a squad once, though all against France, I think.
McGinty probably got in the squad when he went to Wigan.

How the selectors overlooked Kevin Meadows, Barry Peters & Rocky Turner, I'll never fathom.

see you cant do that and the reason is ......
Billy Mcginty was half the player Roberts was and rightly so was no where near an International cap .......Mcginty went to Wigan and played no different to his time at wires but...............

hey presto have a Great Britain Jersey Billy......

Ronnie Duane would have been a regular but for his bad luck with injuries like the first game of the 84 tour of Australia

Shows how good a coach barrow was that we reached all those finals and challenged a full time wigan side without a load of internationals. The GB side back then was basically anyone who was at wigan and british, i once watched a test when the entire pack were from wigan.

Drummond

Bloody hell! That gets me thinking; Duane, Holden & Roberts all careers that were wiped out by knee injuries. Potential career GB players. Quite gutting really.

Drummond's career was in the doldrums until we signed him and turned him back into an international player. Funny how things change.

The backrow alone was more than worthy of GB caps; Roberts, Rathbone, McGinty. Funny how McGinty spent nine years at Warrington, didn't get a sniff of GB. One season a tWigan and hey-ho he is playing in an Ashes series.

Here we go again.

The backbone of that team finished 3rd, 6th and 11th from 86/87 - 88/89. If the internet was around then, they would have received more stick than this current team.

What a thug that guy was

Danny Nutley

Slightly OT

After taking a look at that vintage picture it got me thinking.
You will notice that back in the day shoulder pads were quite prominent, was their a RL rule put in place to limit their size and appearance under the shirt, you rarely seem them these days.

Just a thought...

I thought everyone rated nutley, i certainly did.

Rodwell was by far the worst!!

As for nutley his reputation seemed to grow even more after he left warrington, he played a couple of times for queensland in the state of orgin. Class player, could do with a few more like him at the moment

A large portion of Wire fans yes, I thought we were talking about the wider RL community too.

Yes, and it was criminal that those front row giants, Tony Humphries and Tony Hodson were ignored too.
