Nathaniel wasn't a legend, he was a very naughty boy.

Nat Wood is the best player from DH for Wire in my 19 years as a fan. It helps that he was playing in a period where RL was actually entertaining, and teams were throwing the ball around more. I'm convinced an 'average' team from the mid 2000's would beat any of the previous 4 or 5 GF winners. I left Old Trafford last October wondering how such a poor Wigan side were leaving Manchester as champions, again. It was a dour game

Completely agree, the mid 2000s was the peak era for SL in terms of quality, especially the years from around 2003 to 2005, when Bradford were still at their peak, Saints were packed with world class players, Leeds were fast emerging as the new force, Hull were a strong side back then too. I also think Raper or Mike Gregory's Wigan could have beaten the current Wigan, despite the fact that they were a bit off the pace of the other top teams (and went in to free fall after Farrell left).

We have started this season well and everyone is hopeful that we are contenders, but if we transported this team back to 2003-05, I think we'd be competing for 4th/5th.

I have to ask do you think nat wood was better than Michael Monaghan from dummy half? As i believe the loss of MM has hindered us more than LB, the man was unbelievably clever as a rugby player....ten fold on Nat Wood. We as a club ate trying to raise the standard of SL - be thankful for such a brilliant board.

To be fair, you may be right about M Monaghan, but i was a regular home and away in Nat's day, as i got older i missed lots of games due to work and the like, so i saw Nat Wood play a lot more

Who on this planet thinks Danny Lima was a legend? Proof please.

The difference with Monaghan's departure was we signed Daryl Clark to replace him, neither Nat Wood nor Briers were ever properly replaced.

His family.

"those people"of course, probably reminiscent of or the same people that consider Nat Wood a legend....you know the type?

As an adult watching our great club only one man for me crosses into Legend status and that is Mike Gregory. We have had some great players but not legends for me.

Oh “THOSE” people!

Probably will be controversial to say this but for me Westwood is ahead of Mike Gregory as a legend.

I'd put both of them in my all time wire 13. There's no way you could justify putting nat wood in.

mmm interesting Westwood v Mike Greg.

Both legends IMO...Westwoods medal haul is much better than Gregs..BUT Greg was captain of GB ...tough one..I think they are both Legends on equal footings....IMO.
