Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!"
I thanked him and went on my Merry way!

Of course, such lists are subjective but I can't see how anyone can leave Ellery off at all!

If you had a choice of only Hanley or Farrell who would it be? |

They're 'my' top 5.
I've been watching us since 1989 and they have been my 5 favourite players but also the 5 i feel made the biggest contribution to us from that time onwards.
I can understand somebody questioning Lam but Radlinski?  |

Not even as good as Lydon, let alone Hampson.

Miles
Farrell
Bell
Robinson
Skerrett
Those are the 5 I enjoyed watching the most.
Miles because of his unbelievable handling skills, simply the best hands I've ever seen from a centre, by some distance. When you have that much skill and the power and physical presence that Miles had it was a joy to watch. Still think we should have got a second year out of him.
Faz because he always delivered, a huge presence in every sense.
Bell because he might not have had the physical gifts of a Farrell or the sublime skill of a Miles but he gave 100% to the Wigan cause, a courageous captain, a great leader and a nice guy.
Robinson because he could do things that no other player could; will there ever be another player with the pace off the mark, the agility and balance of Robinson? I don't think we'll see his like again.
Skerrett, well what can I say? Huge entertainment value. We don't seem to have characters like him around anymore (but then again did we ever, to be fair the Super Kel incident was pretty unique!).

I do not think the thread is aimed at naming the top 5 players on ability just the top 5 players people liked to have at the club/watch.
It becomes a bit on non envent trying to debate with someone over the plyers they have chosen as it is a totally personal thing. |

I'd have to agree with them, players from my lifetime, Faz a player I always looked uo to at a very young age, then developing as to which position I'd play in the game, Radlinski become my icon.
Although he wasn't at the club a very long time, I always liked Brett Dallas, he was very professional to the game of rugby. |

Think he did 5 maybe 6 years with us not a bad "shift". |

Hanley - Farrell spent many a year trying to be a 6 which did not help the club. |
