Billy Boston Eric Ashton Alex Murphy Martin Offiah Gus Risman or a group representation (which could end up being a artist 'impression' http://www.therfl.co.uk/news/article/25 ... -in-search My votes with Murph

NO !!! He was probably one of the fastest but that's were it ends. He played with 2 teams who dominated the game at the time - makes a wingers life very easy. Remember Sean Day at Saints. He scored a panful outside Meninga but as soon as Meninga left he was never heard of again. Only one option - King Alex

Haha the fact that he was so fast made him a great players were terrified of him including the Aussies so in my book that makes him worthy even tho I cannot stand the guy.

Aussies terrified of Offiah ? I doubt many would admit to that. Now maybe if you mention Karalius or Mick Martyn. Offiah had speed only - one plus point doesn't make a great player - a good winger maybe but not an all time great above so many others we all could name.
