how can anyone slag Jordan James off? in the small amount of games he played he scored more tries than some of our untouchables who played in those games, he gave his all, he might not have been top class but you couldn't fault his commitment

I really liked Jordan James, and he seemed to love playing for Wigan in the short spell that he did.

How does Ainscough get in above Vaealiki??


Richie Mathers
Desi Williams
Paul Koloi
Doc Murray
David Vaealiki
Greg Florimo
Dennis Moran
Brady Malam
Mark Reber
Harvey Howard
Shem Tatupu
Oliver Wilkes
Tim Jonkers

Brett Goldspink
Lee Hanson
Ricky Bibey
Andre Stoop

I agree. Shame we didn't keep him on because he always did a solid job and had a knack of scoring a few tries too!

Dear me

Vaealiki should be exempt for 2 reasons;

1] Mugging Paul Wellens
2] Setting up Tommy's try in the playoffs at Bradford after Trent's insane pass

Moran would have scored a bagful of tries if he played inthe current team or playedwith Trent Barrett.

I forgot about some of the names that have been mentioned and in the most wasn't it Milward who brought them into the club? I completely forgot about McDonald wasn'the 6 foot 7 but couldn't use his size or (lack of) strength? Botham never got started before his neck injury.

How many GF & CC medals did Bibey win? Last I knew of him he was larging it up trying to play for Wakey in 2007 but couln't get into the first team as Danny Sculthorpe kept him out of the team even though he was injured!

hes captain of Leigh aint he?

Gary Henley smith the sprinter who played for a while

Just what I was thinking. I wish I had been good enough to play for Wigan. All I am good enough for is to play 'Drop a shirt size' tick and pass, and that's finished . If I'd played for Wigan my name would appear on these posts. It would be cruel reading for all the players mentioned.

Worst players got to be Karl Pryce by a country mile, people ssaying Jordan James, Wwilkes and Jonkers but they had more passion and effort in their little finger than Pryce had in his whole body.

I can accept lack of skills and talent but cant accept lack of effort and heart.

Michael Withers? Good player at Bradford, but did he play any better for Wigan than David Murray did?

brady malam and brett goldspink were pretty ordinary in fairly decent sides.

I have not read through the entire list and if these players appear I apologies. For me the worst of all must be Steve Breheny, bought from Rochdale for £400 and Wigan were robbed. Closely followed by "Jinking" Jimmy Fairhurst. Anyone who attended the Lancashire Cup Final versus Wire at Knowlsley Rd in the early Eighties must know that particular Wigan team was one of the poorest sides ever to represent greatest club in the world

Seu Seu creamed McDermott in that fight, knocked his glass eye out.

Sculthorpe was devestating at times but I don't really think he was ever a fit enough player to play at the top level.

McDonald was just one of a few terrible signings at that time.
