Not sure he could shift Edwards or Greg from the halfs either
But i might be talking rubbish

Not much point in me doing this, as I'm only 25, but Rads was my favourite player growing up and I'd pick him over Sam for his defence alone. I often remember Radders coming out of absolutely nowhere to stop certain tries and take the would be try scorer from plonking the ball down in the corner to nigh sitting in the stands!
However my Dad has always said in his opinion Gary Connolly was the best full back we ever had.

| Right, to make this a tiny bit easier I have narrowed myself down to British players I have actually seen play and have since retired.
1) Hampson
2) Robinson
3) Rads
4) Connolly
5) Offiah
6) Edwards
7) Gregory
 Farrell
9) Newton
10) Platt
11) Betts
12) Goodway
13) Hanley
Unluky to miss out Clarke, Case, Lydon, Skerrett.
To see what I have to say is the best combination of halves I have seen check out the challenge cup semi from 92 against Bradford on a well known video sharing site. The pace of play and crispness of passing across the entire team is amazing and far better than any current SL team. People may say Bradford were poor but I don't think any team could have lived with us that day. |

A lot of people swinging against Sam? For what it's worth he's the finest British talent I've seen in a Wigan shirt along with Andy Greg and Bill Ashurst.
