Dallas for me. Just because he is a proper winger.

However I still rate Pat very highly and we would of been lost without him for the last3 years.

Tough one that. If it was just down to being a winger Id take Dallas. As all round players you would have to go with Pat due to the points he gets us

Can't compare the two

Dallas right winger, Richards left wing or full back

Specialist finisher, or solid utility player

How about comparing Phelps / Panapa or even Ged Byrne

I'd have Dallas back now in place of Roberts.

Dallas was also a superb defender, same cant be said for Pat, while he has improved and is now pretty good he still has his losses of concentration, Dallas seemed 100% week in week out.

Anyone know what Dallas is up to these days? Could always get him in as an outside backs coach.

Well to pose the question differently...who would you choose if they were both in the same squad where Farrell was the kicker. It's a no brainer for me. Dallas all the way.

They only played 6 games on opposite wings that season.

I just think if you could fuse the two together you have a perfect winger. Strength, speed and aerial ability would all be covered.

Sam has got all the plaudits for the player of the year award, and rightly so, but Pat has been excellent for scoring tries this season. 23 tries is our best return since Dallas himself scored 24 in 2004. I just think considering pace is not Pat's biggest attribute, thats an excellent return.

Millward may have had a terrible reign here at Wigan but we have to thank him for signing Paaat. He had only kicked 3 goals in his career then, so it wasn't goal kicking he saw and the signing came quite a few months before he would end 2005 with an NRL Grand Final ring. But given his age it's proven to be the best bit of buisness this club has done for quite a few years.

I know what you mean but I just think Dallas (for a good chunk of his Wigan career) had Radlinski, Farrell, Lam, Robinson, Renouf, Newton, Connolly type players to feed off. Pat doesn't have anywhere near that kind of standard.

It is difficult to compare the two fairly as Pat can kick goals and Brett couldn't.

In a situation where we can only sign one or the other:-

With Roberts & Riddell as our best kickers = Pat Richards

With a recognised kicker in the squad already = Brett Dallas

But I would prefer to be like a spoilt child at Christmas and have both

Looking at the list of strike rates I had to laugh when I saw Jordan James at number 19
