He also clearly "stumbles" during the race. Whether that was deliberate or not is another argument, of course.

Quote: MR FRISK "Around 1990 ish John Monie arranged for offiah to come to a track and race Mark Preston. And Mark Preston won by an inch over 100 metres!
Mark Preston could certainly shift. He could catch pigeons that lad. IIRC there is only one clip on YT of Preston hammering in for a try down the left wing. The first time I saw Preston, was when he played for us against saints at Knowsley road. He was running that fast he hit the wall behind the try line so hard, I and many others thought, he must be seriously injured.

Offiah could weave in and out, whereas Preston ran straight for the try line.

What, golden boot or the worst defensive winger in SL history?

Quote: Pie_Eyter "A fit Manfredi is the best winger in SL for me. But he hasn't been fit, Johnstone was out for the season so Makinson was the stand out winger. He hardly had any real competition. Makinson stands out because of his ability and agility at bringing the ball out. This is where a fit Manfredi is better though in my opinion. You expect any winger to score tries. Even the showboating ones. Johnstone is superb at full length try's and is also very powerful near the line. Bringing the ball out is where his game needs to go to the next level but make no mistake Johnstone is an exceptional winger and could be world class. A lot depends on how he comes back from his injury.'"


Manfredi has achieved absolutely nothing.

There are at least 5 super league wingers far better than him who also aren’t made out of biscuit

Wigan v Wire 1990 at Wembley.

His first try. Lightening.

Maybe the title of fastest player in the team was richly rewarded as Joe Burgess, he's now beating the ball to the opposition icon_lol.gif

He is still a good winger as proved in his performances for Warrington.

I assume you mean apart from his Superleague winners medal and dream team appearance? Go on then I’ll humour you. Name your 5 better wingers.

If Mandredi can stay fit he and Makinson will be England’s wingers - he’s quality.

Makinson would have to play on the left as a big part of Manfredi's game is cutting in off the wing with his right foot step

Quote: Wigg'n "Wigan: Joe Burgess is the fastest player in the squad

The_Enforcer: Joe Burgess has lost his speed

Everyone: We're always told they're "smashing it" in pre-season training. Then they put in performances like the first half of the season last year.

The Enforcer is correct - Burgess was slow last year. Whether that's due to an old or current injury, the fact remains.

Agreed. They can all smash pre season for me but it only matters on the pitch. Anything else is meaningless IMO
