Poor call. One of the most naturally talented second rowers I have seen.
Just a lazy git. |

I'm with you Latchy. Some wierd stuff going on today. We elevate Vinnie Anderson and criticise Shaun Edwards' ability. The world has gone mad. If he had played in PnB he would be rightly called a legend.
For those who don't recall him properly.
- Signed at 17 for Wigan - the largest signing on fee ever for his age - still.
- Holds the Wigan record for 10 tries in a game.
- Scoring over 1100 points, in 452 appearances for Wigan during a career of 14 years.
- In 1992 season was leading try scorer with 40 tries.
- 36 caps for GB.
- 8 CC wins, god knows in the league and cups, and MOM in the WCC against Brisbane.
- Played successfully in the NRL.
I can think of better candidates for this thread.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

does seem to support monkeys POV as a support player(and i say this well aware of the bar room argument this conversation invokes)
Anyone care to venture on to the wigan board with this and duck for cover?

Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

You are now showing your very limited knowledge of Rugby AND a lazy side to your nature, if you cant even bother looking it up before asking such a question, |

Going back to the original topic.
Michael Platt is a player with little/no talent. His performances in the World Cup made Wellens look like the worlds greatest fullback!
Trust me!! Being a Salford fan i know all about talentless players.

We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_12937.jpg |

Different people have done that, though; not as though I've put Anderson on a pedestal.

Wasn't the NRL, was it? Dean Sampson and Jordan Tansey have played in Australia, the sun doesn't shine out their s, does it? |
