No - it will nag at me now until I remember, he played for Wigan but not for long then moved to London but I think he had to finish due to injury Chris something maybe? Think he may have started as a winger but I recall him playing full back as well.

| Quote Big Steve="Big Steve"I loved watching Ray Mordt. He would run straight over people rather than go round. I think knee injury ended his time here?
Danny Orr failed to live up to his promise after signing from Cas. We seemed to remove all his attacking flair.
Nick du Toit was another SA who was great to watch, real agressive 2nd row but seemed to disapear. Not sure what happened to him?'"
Nick had a pub in Horwich about 10 years ago... Was great sitting with him watching games, as he could point out stuff most of us would miss... Nice bloke from my experience.

| Karl Pryce has to be #1. So much potential unfulfilled!
Others would be Luke Davico, Richie Mathers, Wayne Godwin, Micky Higham, Iain Thornley and Gil Dudson. Some not as much potential, some just as much but I feel all of the above let themselves down at Wigan.

Good shout. I saw him play in the academy team that beat the Aussies at Knowsley Road and Headingley. Didn't he score three tries and kick a lot of goals V Limoux in the cup?
I think he then got a bad injury v Leeds a couple of games later. He was an excellent young player and leader.

| Daryl Cardiss was very quick, was given a chance against Canterbury in world challenge , looked a decent fullback in the making , Phil Ford had a short spell scored against HKR in a nail-biter at central park

never made at Wigan for various reasons, in some cases achieving more success at other clubs or injury in other cases. There was a full back who played a few times for Wigan but later played for London whose name escape me who showed some early promise but seemed to drift after that.
I suppose you could also list players who played in the junior or academy levels and went on to play for other clubs.'"
Robinson was a big one IMO. We let him go and and ended up with Orr and Moran nearly relegating us whilst he took Salford into the play offs, then later became a big fan favourite at Huddersfield. In a parallel universe I think he could have been a big deal here if we had given him more time and coaching. I seem to recall the reasons he left weren't purely rugby related though.

| Neil Baynes springs straight to mind.
Played against a good few of lads that went in to have great careers from that era at Academy level but Baynes was unbelievable.
Destructive runner, very powerful, cracking offload and a belting passing game.
