From the ones I have actually seen play ;

Farrell
Robinson
Barrett
Craig Smith
Cassidy

Denis Moran
Ricky Bibey
Richie Mathers
Mark Calderwood
Phil Bailey

That famous Saints prop !!!!!!!!

aye - and twice challenge cup winner to boot

legend!!!!

Can't believe no one has mentioned Eric Ashton, GB Ashes winner on tour twice, once as Captain!
Hanley
Edwards
Ashton
Boston
Offiah

Hampson
Robinson
Inga
Hanley
Edwards

Would have liked to throw a few more in there but as there can only be 5 thats my choice.

Thinking about this we have had some fantastic players !

For entertainment it would be
Boston
Ashurst
(both these would be in my best 5)
Skerrett
Tuigamala

and a bloke called Terry Hollingsworth (or similar) who was a back up hooker in the 60's. He used to come on the pitch, find the biggest bloke on the other side, and start a fight. Terrific entertainment (though not trophy winning rugby, alas).

Not bad choice there bud, but you can also add probably a another dozen more

Based on personal favourites not best or most honoured, so I exclude Hanley and Kenny as there was a touch of mercenary about them.

So in alphabetical order:

Ashurst
Farrell
Ferguson
Gregory
Hock

doc murray
shem tatupu
wes davies
david hodgson
Richard Mathers

Sorry I meant


Edwards
Farrell
Inga
Connolly
robinson

I know where you're coming from and especially difficult for a Wire to admit but I'd say with some semblence of reason and of course my own opinion....

Ellery Hanley.........the best player I've seen play the game
Frano Botica........the best goalkicker I've ever seen
Martin Offiah.........the best winger I've ever seen
Chris Radlinski.....the best fullback I've ever seen
Green Vigo...........just a hero of mine!!!
