First game 1978, touring Aussies ............... not a bad introduction!

Sir Les Boyd - inspirational
John Woods - utter, sublime genius
Mike Gregory - a SL forward long before Super League
Allan Bateman - class, the complete centre

Can I just raise a point about Bateman, especially regarding being the complete centre. I love batman...he was a class act but he was eternally frustrating in that he NEVER backed himself when clear and rarely put his winger away with a beatifully timed pass. Batman had all the tools but to me lacked a great rugby brain. Can never be classed as a complete centre in my eyes

Re: Four Greatest Warrington Players Ever. : Sat Dec 20, 2014 8:09 pm  

I wish we had that incomplete centre in our team now.

Bateman could've been phenomenal instead he was just very good imo! Lack of a killer instinct
