Cracking side that early to mid 90's team.

One of the best packs in the comp the year we got into the top league, just struggled in the backs. Shame were a bit s**t now.

[giwildgo]

During my time watching Wigan (1989 onwards);

1. Kris Radlinski
2. Jason Robinson
3. Steve Renouf
4. Gary Connolly
5. Martin Offiah
6. Shaun Edwards
7. Adrian Lam
8. Andy Platt
9. Martin Dermott
10. Terry O'Connor
11. Denis Betts
12. Andy Farrell
13. Ellery Hanley

Could probably fill two more teams with players that were considered worthy in each position - unfortunately at present despite us being top of the table, there isn't a place for any of the current squad - yet.

I suppose a lot depends on which particular set of rules, of the 6,349,980, which have been in operation since my first recollections of the game, we are using. To be honest there are far too many permutations...........apologies to all that I've missed!

For the few who have submitted Wigan teams, it seems the indelible inclusions are Gary Connolly, Andy Farrell and Ellery Hanley. Having only watched RL since '97 then as MeatLoaf kinda said [witnessing]"2 out of 3 ain't bad".

I can't contribute to this thread as I don't have a favourite team at the moment.

Even the greatest World cup footballing nation on Earth get knocked out as soon as I draw them in the bloody sweep.
