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

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

I take it none of the backs were in on the day they recorded this?

I was proven right yet again. 5 years ago Burgess would of had 2 tries tonight.

Agreed. He was awful tonight. Marshall was outstanding though on the opposing wing. Has to be Manfredi and Marshall for wingers

Without a doubt. Marshall has really become a great all round winger.

I don't know - I was pleasantly surprised he easily outpaced Charnley despite having ball in hand. Handling as dodgy as ever though.
