Quote: stillinthepast "This thread was created with the idea that fans of both Saints and Wigan can comment on the prospect of seeing two former greats of Rugby League take to the field to receive the acclaim of BOTH sets of fans.
All I can say Suzy, what a bigoted, attention seeking reply you have come up with, any intense rivalry that exists between the clubs will be put to one side if Tom and Billy walk out side by side.

Suzy I know you will come up with a reply that shows your usual sarcasm and what you think is a barbed reply.
It will not get a reply.'"


Touchy, aren't you?

In 2010 I believe Offiah gave a speech or recorded a speech along with some other "legends" of the fairly recent past. I feel the Shaun Edwards/Offiahs/Farrells etc. are a lot more relevant to our players of today. Some of our homegrown players will have grown up watching them, aspiring to be them and some of our non-homegrown will recognise them from test sides etc.

I'll guarantee Pettybourne, Bowen and our Welsh and London contingent had little to no understanding of who Billy Boston is or was before it was explained to them.

I wouldn't be so sure about that - don't forget he was quite a high profile steal from Welsh Union at the time & went on to play for GB with more than a little success.
We may claim him, but he has put it about quite a bit (in the nicest possible way of course icon_biggrin.gif )

two great players; which one was the better player I cant say; its nice for old timers like myself to remember such greats also a good talking point comparing wingers present and past. Yes the game has changed dramatically.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

Voll was a great winger, as was Brian Bevan, but Boston was a better rugby player.

3 World Club Challenges, 20 League Titles, 19 Challenge Cups:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_62671.jpg



Quote: Rogues Gallery "Didn't they lead the teams out for the Superleague game at Central Park in 1996?'"




I think the pair also did the honours prior to the 2004 Challenge Cup Final in Cardiff.
