| In an attempt to be more optimistic in 2023, another following on from the recent posts, but this one for those who we’ve signed that you didn’t expect anything from, but they turned out to be good for us.
Fozzard for me, looked like an old man held together by tape when we signed him and I thought we got a dud, turned out to be great for us and beyond.
Mark Gleeson as well, not technically a signing but he just turned into a really useful player.

| Brent grose. Knew hardly anything about him when he signed and he was superb for us.

| Joel Monaghan - thought he was just another disgraced Aussie coming over to supplement his retirement fund, ends up with a try scoring record of 1 per game!

| one Wigan signed from Wire - Billy McGinty
turned out to be a fantastic signing. He always looked out on his feet / would only do short spells at Wire but stepped up to the next level at Wigan (this is just my opinion as i didnt see him week in / week out at wire though)
and to add to his playing talents - Pineapple ring John ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif)

Maybe he thought this was the “hair” topic?

Removed on appeal. In my defence, he looked like a bag of bones with no hope of making the first team and went on to to play for us for a while.

| Michael Monaghan for me, i didn't know F all about him and he didn't do much at 7. But once he moved to 9 he was Superb for us. Same with Chris Hicks, knew nothing about him but he's one of the best wingers i've ever personally seen play for us.

100% this. When I first saw him with Monas and King in Churchills, Hicks had a belly on him and looked all the ‘just the tag on’ people thought of him…
But wow, he was the best of the 3 and by some margin from the initial season.
He is my lads favourite player because this hatrick at Wembley.
