Edwards could play scrum half, stand off and full back to an equal level of brilliance. Gregory was an out and out scrum half. Edwards for me for the reasons outlined above.

Went to a sportsmans dinner and Greg was speaking. He was asked which was his favourite game of his career and said 'that's easy, when we beat Saints 29-0 at Wembley'! Quick as a flash a Saints fan shouted it was 27 not 29! Gregory started laughing and said ' oh that's right, I often forget our score but I never forget yours'! The cheer was deafening!!!

Quote: Rogues Gallery "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.'"



So why were the Aussies more impressed with Greg?

Because he was a better RL player.

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain coach.

One area where we've generally had stability in the Wigan club is fullback.

How about Tyrer v Fairbairn v Hampson v Radlinski v Tomkins. Feel free to jump in where your watching started. For mine they all have areas where they are better than the rest; I would say the early years Fairbairn edges it at the moment; he was proven at test level and excelled in a generally poor Wigan team. I do expect Sam to surpass him in the next few years.

How's about Dave Furner vs Ryan Hoffman?

I'd go Hoffman I think. He's obviously fresh in the memory but he was superb for us last year. Both he and Furner have had good test careers but the Hoff would edge it for me due to his attacking threat. He runs great lines and busts defences open more then Furner did whilst for me being as tough in the tackle and as hardworking as Furner.

Both cracking players mind.

"I have this system where I support England first, then the other Home Nations, then the rest of the Commonwealth, then the rest of the World, then France.":



Martin Dermot v Robbie McCormack
Phil Clarke v Sean O'Loughlin
Andy Platt v Terry O'Connor
Nigel Wright v Julian O'Neill
Tony Smith v Willy Peters

Any thoughts?

I go Dermot, O'Loughlin, Platt, Wright, Smith.

The aim of the game nowadays is to win at all costs and that's why I'd want Edwards in my team over Gregory (if we're saying they're vying for the same position). For viewing pleasure Greg over Edwards every time for me. Criminal waste of talent at times.
Dallas over Carney. Slow start from Brian if I remember rightly and Dallas had a better general rugby league mind. Not surprising seeing as Carney came to the game at a much later age.
For me Lockers is greatly underrated in this country. I genuinely think he's world class and has proved myself and many others wrong in his role as captain. Having said all that Faz was Faz. A club legend who lead us and Great Britain at just 21 years of age.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

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)'"



Christ man icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

Farrell by a absolute huge margin.
