| What about Joe Lydon? He had everything required of a great full back. Good positional sense with a sound football brain, good tackler, fantastic kicker, good under high ball with a great kick return game and pace to burn. His try in the 1986 Old Trafford Test against Australia was a scorcher and the first by a GB full back against Australia for donkeys years.

| Kris was always Mr. Reliable. He did his job and di it exceptionally. Never flapped under pressure and always stood up to be counted for. His positional play was second to none & I can probably count on one hand the number of times he dropped a high ball under pressure.

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

The Communist Cap - dragging down success and aspiration to the levels of those who cba.: |
|
| Kris Radlinski is one of my favourite players to have worn the Wigan shirt.
Not only was he outstanding in defence (and I mean outstanding) his support play was also exceptional. Couple this with a brilliant attitude and work ethic and it's easy to see why he was so good.
Slater may have the edge in terms of talent, but imo the "better" player was Radders.

| Where's Richie Mathers...?
In all seriousness Brett Hodgson should be on the list as he has been consistently excellent for quite some time now. He is in my opinion the one that got away in recent seasons. Much rather we'd have signed him instead of Piggy.
Rads by far on the list though!

20333_1393344959.gif 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 |

| Worst poll ever! Absolutly zero variety, might as well as who is the best prop ever in Rugby League: -
Kelvin Skerrett
Ricky Bibey
Steve Price
Terry O'Connor

| Quote: NickyKiss "Hate to admit it but Slater is a better fullback then Rads ever was. Rads was an outstanding player and could do some things better then Slater can but in attack Slater is just sensational and can do things Rads could only dream about.
Radlinski was better then the other 2 by a distance though.'"
Disagree. Slater has his flashes of brilliance, but he makes some horrendous cock ups, mainly in defence. He's far from solid.
For defence and general solidity, Rad has him licked. Slater's a more dangerous attacker.
