the bloke i said hiya to in ince morrisons this morning.......BILL ASHURST.

stick him in the 2nd row and give him the feedom to kick the ball and watch us go.

defence?? they wouldnt get past him in a tank

Amen to Ashurst.
Leaving recent players out, McTigue at prop and Eric Ashton in the centres.
Only left William B out as winger not quite so crucial......perhaps

Preston would have given Offiah a race in his prime.

Can't see anyone at Wigan keeping up with those two. Frighten speed.

Keri Jones would have given them both a run for their money, Empire Games sprinter before turning to rugby, pity he was so injury prone.

Three who so far have not been mentioned.


Glynn Shaw - man monster, a character and hard as nails, and could lead a good sing song.

David Bolton - fast and elusive

Alan Davies - would really "look after" and develop Ainscough

Nobody mentioned Charlie Seeling yet

Good shout on Glyn Shaw. When we got him and Brian Case I knew we would start succeeding.
What a comparison with the wimps who comprise most of Wigan forwards nowadays.

easy - hanley

need a centre ? stand off ? loose ? need a man for the big occasion ?

tough as nails. mr professional.

a legend as a back - then just as you think his days are done, he breaks the record for the number of tries for a forward ! genius

Radlinski
Richards
Carmont
Bailey
Ainscough
Tomkins
Leuluai
Feka
McIlorum
Skerrett
Hock
Hansen
Lockers

Coach: Monie

Radlinski as Captain & to provide the support play we so sorely miss. Skerrett for go forward & nastiness in the pack. Plus the other fella

Andy Farrell, he just never let us down. I'd have him at prop with Fielden sitting it out on the sidelines, and just watch that team pick up with Farrell as captain!

As for the other two it's hard for me to pick as I've only been watching since 01 but I'd go with Rads at full back with Richards shifting to the wing, dropping Roberts, then Renouf in the centres instead of Bailey, he was awesome.

Would a team of past Wigan 'second-raters' be better than our current team?
i.e, players who wouldn't get into a Wigan dream team etc.

For example...

Phil Blake
Tony Iro, BJ Mather, Sam Panapa, Mark Preston,
Nigel Wright Bobby Goulding
Les Davidson Wayne Godwin Scott Quinnell
Simon Houghton Mike Forshaw
Billy McGinty

?

As long as we're cloning players, I'd go the whole hog and clone the same plyer multiple times, so it would be:

Radlinski
Offiah
Hanley
Hanley
Offiah
Hanley
Edwards
Platt
Dermott
Platt
Betts
Betts
Hanley

Bench of: Platt, Platt, Hanley, Hanley

That ought to cover it!
