I'm not sure about that, there's been a couple of backlines in the NRL over the last few years that could match that side IMO.

Its the half-back partnership for me, its good, but theres been better IMO.

Hows the research going?

I'm at work I haven't started it yet. Unlike Tvoc I don't have these kind of stats at my PC. But be patient.

So your telling me Leeds or Saints have never produced a backline, as good as Wigan's in mid 90s EVER?

Yes!

End Of!

Finito Benito!

End of Discussion!

But I didnt even mention the best Backline Wigan Ever Had as they are the ONLY club with possibly a better backline Ever.

I would go for 92 Team

Lydon

Botica Bell Miles Offiah

Edwards/Gregory

But then again??? On reflection Mybe Not?????

Like Billy B once said in the Griffin

"You could never pick a Wigan Best team & agree as their's too many Legends!

You can't do it fo Saints or Leeds either, There aren't enough!"

You see, the difference with us Wiganners is that when it comes to Rugby it's all Upstairs in the Noggin already!

It's Like Aussies & Barwork, It's in the Genes, It's in the Blood, It's INSTINCT !

I fully expect Warrington to be Super League Winners before we all get an answer.

Now that backline was superb too. For me Henry Paul was playing better in 95 than Lydon was in 92, but.... the Gregory/Edwards partnership was better than Botica/Edwards... but the 92 team didn't have the Robinson on the wing... but then again big Gene was unbelievable in the second half of the 92 season. It's a toughie!

Here's another challenge for John D H - can he come up with a better centre/wing pairing for Saints or Leeds than Miles/Offiah? (We could be waiting for a Wire league and cup double!!! )

Can he come up with a better centre/wing combo for any club?
