I think the world of Lockers and he's a cracking player but that ones not even close tbh. It's Faz by a distance. He was bigger, stronger, pacey for a big man, had a great step, was hard as nails, could play 13,12,10 or 6, was a better leader, scored try's, kicked goals and so on. He was here for a lot longer then 5 years as well.

Faz is an all-time great. The sort of player you produce once in a generation.

Lockers is all class but I'm sure he'd admit he's no Faz.

Faz v Lockers = I love lockers but Faz by a good way for me. I've never seen a more all round player or anybody more inspirational. Hanley with a kicking game!

Carney v Dallas = Dallas by more than a whisker. I'll never forget Carney's try at Headingly in play offs but all round Dallas was better. Ran above his weight more than anybody I've seen!

He was at Wigan for 13 years.

Lockers vrs Farrell

no contest for me, Farrell all the way
but put another name into the hat in the same position and Farrell comes nowhere near i'm afraid

Farrell vrs Hanley

put into a perspective like this just reminds you just how good Ellery was.Lockers is a great 13, Farrell was a brilliant 13, Hanley was out of this world at 13

Quote: Pieman2010 "Lockers vs Farrell (Andy) Strangely I'd go for Lockers due to the amount of service he has given. The lad took a lot of flack from fans under Millward/Noble but he has silenced the critics under Madge. Really nice guy and to get a testimonial at such a youngish age is fantastic. Plus Farrell only did 5 seasons (I think)'" Dear me. wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/in ... age_id=481 13th in the all time Wigan appearance list Scored over 100 tries Second all time goalkicker Second all time points scorer 13 years service to Wigan It's a no brainer.

Edwards v Gregory.............



Discuss...........................

Gregory wasn't my era, I started going in 92, but from the DVD's and videos iv seen, id say as an out and out organiser and RL player Gregory was the better player, but you cant argue with Edwards record.

Edwards by a long way. Better all round game, better defender, much better kicking game, scored more, never threw a strop in a game. Better professional.

Id disagree with this, Gregory could find a whole and unlock any defence, Edwards was more of a support player. The Panapa try against Penrith sums Gregory up for me.

You admit it wasn't your era. Watch the WCC came in Brisbane, probably as good a game as you will ever see from a scrum half.
Watch utube and have a looka t the Lancs Cup final v Oldham and note Edwards part in the long distance Lydon try.

Greg was a great attacking player (when he wanted to be) but wasn't that good defensively, and didn't have Edwards kicking or leadership skills. There's more to the game than attack and that's exactly why the Aussies are better than us, they realise the importance of defence.

It wasn't, doesn't mean I havn't seen countless DVD's and videos of both players. IMO Gregory was the ultimate half back. As I said though, Edwards record speaks for itself and is hard to argue with.

Dallas v Carney - Dallas every day of the week but id take Robinson over both

Lockers v Faz - Faz because he played multiple positions extremely well

Seen it, about 500 times.

And Gregory's performance in 1989 CC final wins that award hands down IMO.

Id also argue with this, reading ex players books and watching games myself, iv never seen or heard of a player take a team around pitch like Gregory did. Just my opinion.

Faz v Lockers, Its gotta be faz everytime surely? Lockers commitment to wigan cannot be doubted and he is a great player but faz was the greatest leader I've ever seen (baring in mind I only started watching in around 2000) Whenever wigan where down he would be the one fighting to get through the line, screaming at the players either rollocking or organising. Will never forget the leeds game where he came back on with a broken nose and bandage round his head. and he was a superb kicker aswell.
