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.

| Quote: Scotty Keeeeeeench "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'"
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.
Wigan RLFC for life.

| Quote: Mini Rogue "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.'"
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

2 players who at the time of signing where not rated by wigan fans but turned out to be good signings,jerome guissett and billy mcginty, mcginty was looked at as an average signing in those days but turned out to be immense for wigan and went on to become a regular for gb.
