I was just thinking, who's the player that's surprised you the most in the time you've been watching Wigan? What i'm meaning is what player really turned out to be either far more than you'd hoped for, or 'pulled something out the bag' that was really out of character - in a positive way, lets keep the thread happy.
My 3:
1. John Ferguson - everybody was thinking who the hell is this nobody, but oh my lord what a joy to watch in his spell with us
2. Greg Dowling - Big hard prop, but where in the hell did that drop goal come from?
3. Graham West - That run against Hull KR, never seen him move that fast either before or since

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

Okay.
One of my Top Ten players:
Purchased from Sheffield as utility cover, nothing more.
Scored vital tries in some VERY important matches.
Had a wicked sidestep.
Was a supersub.
Who am I...?

Aye it's a shame mate, as he scored some absolute total blinders and put in some breathtaking performances.

Correctamundo Jim..! 
Awesome try versus Penrith at Anfield.
Winner against Widnes CC Final when he ducked under to score (we were struggling too). |

In recent times it'd have to be George Carmont.
I remember when we signed him he didn't have a club and most reports of him weren't that great. He's been the bargain of the decade for us and seems to be a true pro.

Good call, another unknown when we signed him, but what a monster of a forward, and great to see him go on to get the recognition and opporunities he deserved after he left us
