okay everyone, we know we have had some of the best players in Rugby League grace the hallowed turf at Central Park and the DW Stadium but how about making up a team of the worst that have worn the Cherry and White and they can be give the accolade of Players that "Baked Bean Boogie" would still sign today along with Patrick "the man" Ah Van.

Can you please add players in number order

I will start the ball rolling with our worst Full Back .......

1.David " Doc " Murray

The same Doc Murray who left us with a Super League Grand Final winners medal tucked away in his pocket? Think a little harder, I'm sure as far as full backs are concerned, we've had many worse.

We really haven't.

Even Barry Williams from the early 1980's was better at fullback than Doc Murray.

Murray only played at beginning of 1997, was dropped after about 8-10 games and was never seen again... I stand by my choice of him being the contender for the number 1. shirt......

Even if that was true, it means nothing.

Mathers has won every Club honour in the British game, but that doesn't make him better than Radlinski, for instance.

I accept this point but it's just wrong to mention Mathers in the same sentence as Radlinski! Doc Murray is a good choice. Paul Atchison wasn't the most inspiring but even he was bette than Doc!

Dennis Moran, any position. Worst player i've ever seen handle a rugby ball in Wigan colours.

This is a cr*p post and thread. Any one who's been deemed good enough to play even one game for Wigan shouldn't be slagged off on a Wigan forum. There are plenty of other forums who do that job week in week out. Doc Murray may not have been the right fit for Wigan but I'd venture to guess that he was a far better player than most people who slag him off.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



Denis Moran must be somewhere.

Best thing he did playing for Wigan was when he skinned the slug and scored against Saints @ the DW (his last game?)
