Preston was like **** off a shovel over the first 30-40 metres whereas Offiah was far taller with 4 1/2 foot legs so took some getting going.... Wouldn't surprise me if he had beaten him though, great player !

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

[size=75:2d8t03fs]Ancient and loyal, upon my chest
they are men of wigans best
a team that plaaayed, the wigan way
and won the championship in may
jim sullivan, he was the king
brian mctigue and johnny ring
a team that plaaayed the wigan way
and won the championship in may
when eric ashton was alive
and billy boston by his side
with dave bolton and billy blan
oh what a time to be a fan
in 85, at wem-ber-ly
john ferguson and brett kenny
a team that plaaayed the wigan way
and won the challenge cup in may
in 95 we won them all
tuigamala, faz and paul
a team that played the wigan way
and won the championship in may

I always liked Preston, cracking player but wouldn't come off his wing to look for work!

He was in a team where he didn't need to, he did what a winger should do, score tries. |

| Quote: ChrisA "He was in a team where he didn't need to, he did what a winger should do, score tries.'" His unwillingness to do this, unlike Offiah, cost him his place in the side eventually. How many more would he have scored if he did so??
Still a good player though. |

Remember Phil Ford catching Preston tackling him then standing over Preston with his legs locked between his like a cowboy who had just lasooed a calf, and stood milking the aplause from the crowd. Classic moment.

Fastest player we had was probably Gary Henley-Smith.
Ran 10.7 for the 100m which is very quick indeed.

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 |
