I'm sure he is a great guy etc but "legend" never.'"
Not what I would class as a legend.
But who knows who writes for Wire Twitter.
Mind you I was not personally good enough to play 75 games for Wire ... so I will not be too critical.

| Jack Hughes played 148 games over 7 seasons and was Captain. Is he a legend?

| For the avoidance of doubt, I would like to say I do not think Jason Clark was as bad for us as some would have it.
However, during the Super League era, I would say there are probably only two players on whom I'd bestow legendary status - Lee Briers and Ben Westwood. Just short of that status I'd have Morley, both Monaghans, I suppose Alfie.

| Firstly I think the legend calls are for him as a person not a player. He’s widely accepted as a very nice fella and good on him, as a supporter I would prefer a horrible sod who was a better player though.
Secondly I don’t think we made the most of J Clark. Although clearly limited he was very good at getting into contact, drawing in two or three and offloading but we very rarely seemed to utilise that side of his game. He also saved his best performance for against Toulouse when we really needed it.

Clark finished the season pretty strongly, being one of our better performers in the last half dozen games which, given the generally dreadful performance of our back three forwards this year, makes me wonder why he hardly featured until then. Although no world beater he was streets ahead of the likes of Matt Davis.

His chase down of Lolohea at Huddersfield recently, over 75 metres revealed a turn of pace that I didn`t realise that Jason Clark possessed.

I'd get that down to one player after the drum banging shenanigans!!!

To be fair, I'm nearly 50 and I reckon I'd stand a good chance of catching lolohea

Oy, leave the legend that is Matt Davis alone, or we may have to have words young fella me lad.

Briers and Westwood certainly, morley I would say is a wire legend and Nat wood (for his antics) in the superleague era. Monoghans are a good shout but probably fall just short. Jiffy and Mike gregory before superleague.

You can do as you like. I will still pass my opinion on the relative merits of a player based on watching other players in the same position for 40 years.
Nice guy maybe, but never legend status. He will be forgotten in the mists of time.

| Super nice guy, but what did he actually do over 4 years as an overseas sub player playing small minutes that a decent player from the championship couldn’t have done? Waste of a quota space, neither a prop or second row. Super nice guy though. Peak wire style signing of the last 5 years sadly.

| Nominating Nat Wood because of his antics is peak Wire too. Did he go to Wigan in the end? I seem to think he didn't, although he almost did. I hope not.
