Woods
Johns

Davies
Gregory'"


I'm counting overall contribution to Wire.

If its "who is the best RL player who played at some point for Wire" then Johns.

If its "who played at the highest level in a Wire jersey" then Davies.

Bobby Fulton was head and shoulders above Andrew Johns and Jonathon Davies, as good as they were. The closest in style I have seen to Fulton was Chris Sandow, but Fulton carried that standard throughout his career.

He was a Stockton Heath lad as well.

Yeah I think the caveat of Sally was "in their lifetime". Fulton is a great shout with 16 games for the wire in 1969/70.

Quote: lefty goldblatt "Fair to say he's [ireinvented himself [/i.
He last pulled a Wire jersey on, nearly a decade ago.
We move him to a coaching capacity, and he goes through the motions, for the best part of that decade.
He moves on, and helps transform Wigan from dull as ####, to easy on the eye. And now he's headhunted to Australia.

Maybe our last two coaches held him back?'"


Maybe our toxic atmosphere and the bad apples held him back?

As mentioned Boyd hands down followed closely by Bob Jackson + Mike Gregory.

A lot of conjecture on here. I’m not sure a year at Wigan has changed his reputation massively, although would have benefited by getting a sample of a new environment.

I do believe this move was meant to happen in 2020 though, but Covid put it on hold.

There will be only a handful of posters still alive who saw Brian Bevan in his pomp.

My late father was a big fan of "Bev" and would always be recalling games that Bevan played in with stories to me, when I was a kid.

Same - my late father and grandfather told me stories. They never mentioned his kick return stats, high bomb % or if he could get a quick play the ball. They did mention how elusive, exciting, and prolific he was though.

I hope it goes really well for him and he comes back to us one day full of good experience. Doesn't feel right seeing Briers in Wigan clobber.

Ever since he shaved his beard off, washed his hair, and stopped looking like a hobo his job prospects really improved.

I'm an old fart who is old enough to have seen Brian Bevan play the game. As a boy I used to wait for the great man at the back of the main stand at Wilderspool every home game to ask him to sign my programme. He seemed to be a very shy man who gave me the impression he didn't really want to sign, but he did, in very small, neat handwriting BBevan. Over time he came to recognise me and I didn't have to ask. He was my hero truly an all time great.To look at him in his civvies, long gaberdine raincoat, his boots in a neat paper parcel under his arm you'd never guess he was a RL all time great His World try scoring record probably won't ever be broken. I fell in love with the game and was a season ticket holder for many years. BUT around five years ago I walked out of the HJ and haven't been back since. The game was overcoached, formulated and any flair and spontoneity was long gone. I could close my eyes for a couple of minutes open them again and I knew where the ball was within about 10 yards. I still follow the game via TV but rarely last more than 20 minutes. I've better things to do like picking the fluff from my deeply sunken navel
