Unfortunately for us and Paul none of this materialised.'"
Good call, I always compared Noone and Woody, not position wise but players coming through at around the same time. Noone appeared to have the skill and flare to make it whilst Woody was just a hard running no nonsence forward. At that time I would have said Noone would have made it while hard running forwards were easier to come by. Well how Woody has matured and his game has improved especially under TS. Well done Woody. Sadly wasn't to be for Nooney.

I remember reading possibly in a progamme or a copy of the Warrington Guardian that Alfie Langer rated him as the best forward at the club mentioning in particular his running off the ball and his ability to find gaps.
It always stuck in my mind that piece especially as knott had already begun to recieve stick from the terraces before Langer came.
anyway has anyone mentioned Graham Appo......

| Recently....Vinnie Anderson maybe??.....Started well enough but got to the point last season where some on here were finding a club for him - Not many were discussing the chances of a new deal for him ....
Pre- Super League....Rocky Turner??....The Great White Hope at the end of the 80's, he was apparently John Woods and Andy Gregory rolled into one, and when he teamed up with Mackey in Autumn '89 and we were top of the league and waltzed to a Lancashire Cup triumph, things looked good for him.....However, Mackey left for Hull and Rocky's career never recovered....Even when Johnson tried him again with Mackey on the Aussie's return in '92, things never got going again for him, and God only knows what became of him.

| Matt 'The Rocket' Rodwell?
Danny Halliwell - Came in, in many ways saved us from Relegation. Is he even still playing?
Dean Gaskell - Dare I say anymore, just look who he plays for now.
Others that come to mind. Paul Marquet, Tommy O'Reilly, Danny Lima, Varkulis, Wilshere and Cardiss.

| I really liked the guy, but Lee Penny could have been a real good player. Had all the attributes early on and shone in his early days, just to fade into mediocracy. Jon Roper was the same. Another one worth a mention would be Ian Sibbit, who at times seemed unplayable in his early years in the centres, big strong and quick. Then 12 months in Australia turned him into a snail pace turnstile.
Pre-Smith I would have been saying similar things about Chris Bridge but thankfully he seems to have found a role and settled into it very well

Its great that we have no history!! Ohh hang on Wembley August 29th Warrington Wolves WIN the Challenge Cup!!!

| Jamie Durbin, John Duffy both were hyped up ALOT if I remember correctly both failed to deliver although I think in Duffy's case a broken leg does seem to hinder your development a little bit.

50086_1357229109.jpg [b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.
[b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg |

That would be very rude and might upset them. Far better to discuss it here.
Anyway, I'm sure most of them would admit their failings. I was crap at Rugby League; too timid. See, it's easy.
I always hoped that Dean Gaskell would become a superstar try scoring winger. All he managed was the winger part, and even that was a struggle.

| Three players previously mentioned
Martin Gleeson
No, sorry. Never got worse for me. Still the most talented out and out centre I've seen in the P&B
Kelly Shelford
I can see the issue, but that maybe due to the players around him.
Mark Roberts
Never in the life of man. This man was 100% in commitment, skill and allround play, every time he took the field
I think he played twice after his injury in '89 so you can't really say he declined
To use a football comparison (and those who'd remember him), Man City's Paul Lake. Had the world infront of him, destined for great things, then a career wrecking injury. Tried to comeback, but retired within a couple of years. Such a shame.

I love this particular argument..
You wouldnt say it to there face....
If I was disheartened enough with a player to write it on here.. Yes I would say it to his face..
