As long as we're cloning players, I'd go the whole hog and clone the same plyer multiple times, so it would be:

Radlinski
Offiah
Hanley
Hanley
Offiah
Hanley
Edwards
Platt
Dermott
Platt
Betts
Betts
Hanley

Bench of: Platt, Platt, Hanley, Hanley

That ought to cover it!

Interesting one that.
I don't think that any of the current side would even make it onto the bench of a WRLFC dream team - they wouldn't even make the same training squad (though I'm prepared to make allowances for the youngsters until we see how they turn out).
I'd say in most positions you could go down three or four deep before you'd even consider a current player.
For instance I'd say Hock is currently one of our better/consistent performers and where do you compare him against Clarke, Betts, Farrell, Hanley or Furner (OK so you'd have Hanley or Farrell at loose but the other would still make the dream team in the back row.

Full back? Pick one of Hampson, Radlinski, Lydon or Blake before you even consider Mathers.

And as for the 3/4 line forget it!! Over the last cpole of decades we've had some of the greatest wingers & centres you could have hoped to watch. I'll start you off - Bell, Iro (x2), Gill, Preston, Myers, Miles, Renouf, Conolly, Offiah, Dallas.

I purposely chose players who were good, but hardly ever first pick for the squad they were part of. All with games under their belt but all eventually fired off.

Who that team beat match the Wigan of today?

Blake was never a 'second rater', he only left the club because Jack Robinson signed Botica, John Monie never wanted him to leave, he was outstanding while at Wigan.

if we took your post literally im sure most of us could find 13 players and 4 subs who would get into the present team
ie..none of todays lot will ever feature in an all time best team list imo.

Any one player.

Regardless of Phil Blake's talent I'm sure you get the point of the post.

Sure

Another prop springs to mind, Adrian Shelford.

PONGIA!

aye it does a bit

Oooh Betty!

Ashton
T Iro, K Iro, BJ Mather, Preston
Blake Goulding
Davidson Hall Shelford
Houghton Quinnell
Clarke

This team would give any SL team a good go.

Definatley Andy Farrell, we badly need a leader.

Probably play him as a prop as well.

Super kelvin Skerrett.

One the best props I've seen.

I'd clone Dennis Moran, for comedy purposes as he is possibly the worst Wigan player of the Super League era.

Nah. Mathers

Doc Murray.

Paul Koloi.

Actually, I'd clone Nigel Wright. Maybe that way he could have a career that wasn't torn to shreds by injuries.

Surely if you could only have one it would be Hanley. Wigan had many many great players but for me no single player out of anybody Ive ever seen had more ability to influence a game and a dressing room, not even Andrew Johns.

Hanley in the Wigan team now would have them a top 3 club.

Seems like it's between Hanley and Faz.
