Quote Big Graeme="Big Graeme"A very underated player IMO, someone said Cunningham would have walked into that great Wigan team, I think Dermott would have had something to say about that.'"
Not to say there weren't better players in the league, but collectively, when Dermott played for Wigan they had the best pack in the British game by some considerable margin. For me Cunningham, Farrell and Sculthorpe are the stand out players of their generation. Dermott gets lost with the big names around him at the time.
When you talk about the Wigan teams he played in his name falls well down the pecking order: Hanley, Gregory, Edwards, Platt, Offiah, Botica, Miles and Clarke (may receive some mocking but he was a fantastic athlete). Compare this to good St Helens and Scully/Cunningham rise to the top everytime. Even taking into consideration Long, Newlove and Joynt.
