Taniela Tuiaki for mine - it is daylight second.

Best of the rest are Fitzhenry, Nofo, Ryan and Lote

Fitzhenry did some good things on the wing - only wing should be considered.
Nofo went off the boil 2014, injuries, second year syndrome etc. not sue but will get better and be a star with a bit of luck.
Ryan also did some great stuff for us, people tend to forget.
Lote was a good winger, but so great for us, past his prime really and too many injuries.

Okay guys I added DAVID NOFOALUMA to the poll , so quit whinging. I added the option so you can change your vote.

Robster is tempting you becoming a West Tigers supporter mate , we have plenty of Polynesians in our side for a smooth transition :wink:

We have never had any really good wingers, a lot of those guys are decent, but over 15 years you'd think we would have a couple of rep players at some point

The tank was as good a winger as anybody on the planet when in his prime. He did represent nz at one stage I believe.

The one thing I regret is never seeing both Tuqiri and Tuiaki as our wingers

They would of been utterly devastating together

True but how about noffa and tuiaki? One on each wing- then I wouldn't mind moltz passing the ball 20m to one of them for the hit up.

Tuqiri was a great winger but his kick returns were average iirc.

I can think of two tries that Tuqiri scored that only he could of scored

The try v Canberra in the semi and the Bulldogs game

That's what split him from any other WT's winger bar Tuiaki

Teams would of struggled to defend against us and it would of created room for Lui ,Marshall and Lawrence
 
Yer I agree with the tank and lote. People knock lote for his time spent on the sideline for us but he was a dual international.

A lot more comments for Lote here than there are votes!

In 2009 Taniela was the best winger in the world, and in 2010 Lote was.

After that it was all injuries, but they are still our best IMO.
