The Virtual Terrace • Greatest winger in the world

Not in SL or the NRL though (ie the modern game).
Undoubtedly the best winger of all time in my opinion though.
It includes a fair chunk from his spell in Australia and the International game too. I was more referring to him in comparison to some of the try tallies being suggested as they were over a relatively short period of 3 or 4 seasons or even less.
Tough call who is the absolute best as it can't be just about try scoring as the job description has changed massively over the years. As many others have pointed out Bevan would be in a league of his own in terms of try scoring. Would he be as good doing the job of the modern winger though? He certainly didn't have the build of a Ryan Hall or Vainikolo for example. Interesting topic but I'm not fully convinced that there's a 'best of all time' anyway. That said, if you asked which winger I'd like to see lining up for my team now, Offiah would be damned high up on that list!
