| Apologies if this has been done to death previously, but there was a post regarding Danny Walker being thought of as a pivotal signing in ten years time, that started me cogs going.
I cam up with three.
Alex Murphy - Brought the good times to Wilderspool during the Seventies.
Darren Burns - Played a blinder and by being first to the ball and booting in into the Fletch saved us from relegation.
Adrian Morley - First statement signing in the HJS era, and gave us some credibility that we could challenge for honours once more.
Anymore for anymore as Ronnie Lane once said?

| And here's me thinking that I was the only one who remembered Ronnie Lane.
Dave Chisnall, in his first spell at the club, would be one of my nominations. Overnight he brought aggression,skill and respect to a Warrington pack that had been bullied for a number of years.

| In HJ era
Morley (leadership and awesome first 2 years in terms of performance and biff)
Tony Smith (took us to being serial winners 209-2014)
Clark (the heartbeat of our side)
Charnley (true attacking threat and proof that we can sign top players again)
80's Wilderspool
Mike Greg on his 18th birthday - huge influence on club and side for over a decade and rightly attained legend status.
Brian Johnson / Les Boyd / Andy Greg - all had huge impacts on the side at the time.

| Peter Deakin
After nearly going bust in the late 90's , Deakin came on board and changed the whole mentality of the club
We'd've been goosed without him

Slim chance of forgetting who Ronnie Lane was.

| No player other than John Woods or Johnaton Davis made such an impact across a season...going from perennial mid table teams to cup finalists or league challengers.

| Briers in my era, with Morley a close 2nd, hoping walker can be a major significant signing for us. Early days in his career but with Briers to support and coach him and a player of Clarke to watch and learn from , he could be very exciting to watch over the next 10 years

| Morley for me, absolute beast, leader, a huge presence and a massive name at the time. It would be like signing Sam burgess now.
Jonathan Davies was a great signing for us, my absolute favourite whilst growing up. Then I'd probably say Alan langer was a coup for the club as well, a proper legend playing for us.

| Bobby Fulton. Short spell but massive impact in a mediocre side. Warrington born too.

Yes we couldn't buy a win till he guested. But before my time.

Bobby Fulton was one of the best players I have ever seen. Was it 16 tries in 16 appearances? I remember him putting opposition forwards on their backside with his combination of strength and speed.
