| Sorensen is a good call.
Tough as they come, not a backward step.
Imagine if SF had his attitude.

| Kevin Ward, best prop I've seen play.
Cunningham has been a cracking no.9 over the years.
Peacock is awesome, great player with a good attitude, not scared of throwing a few either.
If I was considering the NRL I'd be here all day.

| I'd have to say from recent times Farrell and Radlinski Top players playing for their home town squad and undid us quite a few times. Respect.
Slightly further back Botica, best kicker i've ever seen

| was always a fan of harragan. hard player. stephen kearney in his prime has to be one of the best second rowers ever to play the game. i think graham has the potential to be one of the best british props ever if he continues developing like he his.

| I'm not overly fussed with Cunningham tbf and although he’s was a good player when him and Newton were tussling for the GB jersey i would have gone for terry 9/10.
There are a few tho who were or are the type of player you can’t help but think i wish we would have got him;
Peacock, Ellis, Burrow & Webb imo are players that you watch and think are absolute class and I would love to see at Wigan.
Lyon and Sculthorpe at Saints were a level above anything else is SL at their peaks and earned the respect of opposition fans
Forshaw also never had a bad game against us and was a hard player imo.
Robbie Paul and Withers at Bradford were two players on top of their games. Always wondered how Withers managed to ghost through defenses?

| Alex Murphy, the best no.7 I've seen, at club level and International.

| I hated but wished they played for us Tommy Martyn and Sean Long.
Martyn had a really good rugby brain and Im suprised he never made the GB team all that often.

| Dean Sampson from old because he was a dirty bugger and IIRC broke my favorite player evers jaw (super kel). however he is loved in Cas because he was there for years and always gave 100%.
Mark O'Meely from now. hate most of the Aussie Squad but he is always outstanding against us, a real go forward hard nut. i would love to see us sign a player like that. on the other hand if he ever went to saints/leeds i would absolutley HATE him.
Looking into the future i can see the manly second row Anthony Watmough being one i may have a grudging respect for when he is with the Kangaroos. truely awsome player, but seems like a right cocky get.

I remember Chris Joynt saying he and Tommy God sat down and discussed going with the Irish, or the Welsh. They didn't discuss it long when they considered the p-up that they would have.
Back to the original point. As a kid, there were so many Wigan players to admire, but in more recent years, Radlinski for what he did at Murrayfield, Faz for his grit and determination that inspired those around him, but mostly, Carney. A real classy winger with a great story behind him.

| I hate to admit it but James Graham, hes an absolute freak of nature. IMO the best player in SL by a country mile at the moment.

And for me as well.
I posted about this on another thread, but I guess there aren't that many silver surfers in the forum.
