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.

No, but he did for Ireland.

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.

How dare you !!!!

Not being funny but you reckon Murphy was better than Langer? or Johns?

I do.
Murphy had one fault. He never played for Wigan.

Cunningham is probably the man for me.

He is cool, calm and collected the majority of the time but knows when to lift the pace of a game and the rest of the Saints lads just follow him. He doesn't look arrogant on the pitch either and isn't a dirty player so you can't help but admire how he goes about his business.

He's probably the closest sort of leader there is to Andy Farrell in superleague at the moment and what we'd give for a player like that!

Yes, no doubt in my mind, easily better than Langer ( Sterling was better ), and although Johns was a brilliant player, not as good as Murphy, to do what he did, not only at Saints but at Leigh and Warrington as well marks him out as a legend ( over used word by many ) in our game.

Agreed, I thought Sorensen was ace. Hard as nails!

Nah - he was also a gobby knuckle dragging Neanderthal with the man management skills of a bar of soap.


I never saw him play, but I honestly can't see him being better than Johns. Maybe compared to his generation (pot bellied and part time) but in absolute terms I would think Johns would chew him up and spit him out.
