One player I can’t believe hasn’t been mentioned was Ben Cockayne, he was outstanding for us and made the England train on squad while with his. He wouldn’t care less about putting his body on the line. I really liked him.

How has nobody mentioned Wasail Sovatabua? Seem to remember him being prolific. Especially in the air.

I’d put BJB second only to TJ. Probably scored more long range tries than anyone, a way better winger than his contemporary MCB in my opinion.

I knew I’d forget someone….

I was also watching when Keith Slater got his career ending injury… but that’s the only time I saw him and I was just a kid.

What about Neil Law who seemed to score a lot of important try’s for us.

Andy Wilson

Johnstone
Fletcher
Juliff
BJB
Wilson
Tadulala
Fox
Law
Jones
MCB

Re: Best Wingers : Sun May 15, 2022 5:44 pm  

Personally the best I have seen and the most underrated was
Brian Juliff big strong as a bull and quick

After that
David Smith
Peter Fox
Ben Cockayne
Andy Wilson

I do rate TJ highly but his injury record and his defence put him behind the above

Ken Hirst one of the best wingers I've seen in a Trinity shirt, but sadly he was always third choice. Jan Prinsloo on a par with TJ for me. His tries to appearances ratio has not been beaten. Andy Fletcher was a good 'un also

Ken was a smashing fella loved going in the Tawny Owl back in the day
Too young to have seen the great Trinity sides he played in
