Hanley's career was over before SL began, and he was no half back for the vast majority. He was the greatest player I ever saw though.

Strange,hanley played more than 100 games for leeds between 1991 and 1995, scoring more than a try a game.When did S/L start stan?

1996 was the start of SL...

I will correct you,edwards played at wigan from 1983 to 1997,except for a year at balmain,and also played 20 odd S/L games for bradford and london 1998 to 2000.I think that puts a large hole in your theory.

Cheers.

Please stop using Wikipedia to gauge the relative merits of players you obviously never saw play.



Edwards was a good player, not great though, and well past his best by the time the game moved to summer. In his pomp, Long possibly has been the best 7 in the SL era. Unfortunately for Hull, his pomp was 5/6 years before he turned up at the KC.

Edwards was more than just a good player

You have to be joking, right?



Edwards was ten times the player Long never was.

I gave my opinion and for me hanley was the best player ive seen and edwards 2nd,and roger the dodger third as halfbacks.

Tony Myler was the best no 6 I have seen...best no7 for 1 season was Sterling but best pre S/L was Gregory...best in S/L was Long.

Lancasters injured you thick get

Edwards was no creative half Andy Gregory did that at Wigan, Edwards was a running/supporting stand off, a poacher.

Yep like Sneyd (Freezes at Wembley)

Fit right in then.

Here we go again........thread getting de-railed

That happened pages ago when half backs were brought up on a thread about Moi Moi. Anyway back on topic. Would be a shocking signing.

Did you rate Fitzgibbon , Moa or omealy ?

All three were seriously overrated, good professionals but nothing special.

Light the blue touchpaper and stand well back

Moi Moi would be the most entertaining signing ever. Probably not in a good way, but you can see why SL clubs are reportedly queuing up to sign him. Absolute quality. www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/ ... 7032289121

The thread was actually derailed by legends and icons on page 1,mentioning sneyd,and it just carried on from there,most of it sensible.

Little snitch Drew

fwiw it was started with ....

deslawson

He certainly ticks most of fc's boxes.

Have you actually got anything positive to say about the club you support ?
