What a great team I would have been at that match stood in Hen Pen smell of Horse Liniment wafting up Tunnel used to use it myself (better smell than any Poncie aftershave) Today's team would not stand a chance against them. Thanks Ron send my regards to our Shelia & our Malc & family.
Silly comment, the games has changed an awful lot since these played.
I would have liked to have seen this team play if they had the training facilities that the present team have and also if they were full professionals in stead of doing a full shift down the pit then playing rugby.
I agree, but in other respects I always think cream rises to the top in any era, and so a lot of these players would do well in the modern version of Rugby League if they were youngsters today.
I think it does an injustice to both these players and the current Wigan team to try and match them up against each other. All these lads could do was to be the best of their era. Same thing applies to today's team. How spoiled we are to have such a successful team spanning many decades. Surely we don't need to compare them.
watched both teams team in the photo was the better all round team i watch this side from the hen pen
