Scored two or three 60yard tries at Leeds doing that |

| Quote: DaveO "Given the huge debate over him getting a new deal with many wanting him signed up again I don't think he is underrated by the fans at all.
The most underrated player in recent seasons was Scott Logan. A change of coach from Millward to Noble transformed his season much as it did Richards and I was gutted he left early because it was plain to see with him in it our front row ended up as one of the best of 2006. We have never matched it since and Fielden has suffered from not having a player like Logan alongside him ever since.
Of our current team the most underrated player is Hansen.
Dave'"
Agree with HH, definitely an under rated player in our team. Gets through a ton of work and has limited time on it but yet is always in the top stats in defence, but yes could do more in attack and hopefully something the new coaching staff can help him with. For a forward HH has very quick feet and for me is a vital part of our team that must be kept as he will be our Phil Bailey when he does leave.
I'd like to add Mossop in, I think he's been over looked on here on a few occasions and doesn't get the praise he deserves, it's not easy being a young forward mixing it with the big boys of SL but Mossop for me has stepped up every time this year and puts himself about big time. Can't wait to see how his future develops at Wigan. |

To be honest mate, alot of Wigan fans didnt really think much of him. Someone actually quoted him as being very over rated. I totally agree with your selection however. I would give anything to have a hooker who can take the pack around like he could. He got taken out in the first few minutes against Leeds at Central Park in 1998 and we were very poor without him |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

His (Haughtons) attitude to the game was terrible for someone with so much ability he was one of the laziest forwards I've ever seen at Wigan.
I also agree with DaveO  about Hansen and Logan. |

Haughton was one of those players though that didn't have the same passion for the game that other players had, Haughton only played the game because he was good at it, I believe he never watched a game of RL if he wasn't playing it.

What happened to Haughton. He looked like he was going to be the worlds best back rower. He was awesome and then just disapeared!! Doesnt he hold the record for most tries scored in a season at any level. Sure he does, something silly like 70 tries or something at amateur/youth level.

I'd say Terry O'Connor.
I know he was recognised as a good player by the fact he was picked on a regular basis for GB but here at Wigan he was playing in teams over the years containing the likes of Robinson, Paul, Lam, Radlinski, Farrell, Newton etc which meant his contribution to our side was probably a touch un-noticed.
As a player he just made yard after yard allowing the guys mentioned above to get in the positions to work their magic.
If only we had a prop as good now.

McCormack was fantastic for us that season and i was gutted that he was only offered a very poor deal for the next year which resulted in him going. Think it was morley that took him out against leeds? Seem to remember cassidy getting himself sent off trying to get some sort of retribution. |

15th October 1989 - the beginning of a love affair.

Never had passion for the game - Radlinski said as much in his book. A total waste of natural talent. |

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
