Craig Murdock cracking player just couldn't shift Edwards from the team it i remember correctly?

He didn't help himself though with some of his comments / attitude at the time which did nothing to endear him to the Wigan fans - yes he did get a lot of criticism (not all of it justified) but it was wrong player/wrong time.

Sadly we have a history of poor choices at 7 over the last 20 years or so - very odd.

I seem to recall he had a lot of injury issues as well which stalled his career.

Nick Graham.

It’s not that he didn’t make it as such but I wished he had stayed for longer, think he came from Cronulla Sharks.

Now that’s one I’d forgotten about lol

Moran was 4th in the assists chart in his first year at Wigan. He was playing in a dire team that was just low on confidence, he was on a hiding to nothing from the off. He wasn't a great player, but he was no where near as bad as people made out.

Gavin Clinch was far worse

He was bad was Clinch!

Moran was painfully bad. You guys must have a short memory. What good is a 7 if all he can do is support? Before anyone mentions Edwards, Edwards could also organise and direct the team. Moran was gash and was rightly criticised for some shocking displays.

Matthew Johns. Many people thought he was living off his brothers reputation but he was a good player in his own right. He was the best long passer of the ball ive ever seen left or right. Newcastle fans were gutted when he left. For some reason he just never settled at Wigan but we did see some glimpses of him putting players through holes. A few years ago Andrew Johns was answering questions on a forum and mine was one of the questions that got picked. I asked him how did he and Matty become such great long passers of the ball. His reply was that when they were young they lived near a train track and would practice by standing on the embankments and passing the ball to each other over the freight trains as they passed.

True, I remember him being a dangerous player for London but Wigan made a poor decision in signing him as a 7, it would be very interesting to get Adrian Lams view on this as he was obviously a big fan of his.

Reading between the lines it can’t of helped given who was coaching the side too.

Tim Smith, off field issues, on field...

Stuart Fielden, Danny Orr, David Vaeliki, Shaun Ainscough, Karl Pryce... not to mention young kids who were touted as world beaters like Mark Flanagan (he was a coup as a youngster from Bradford, IIRC) and James Coyle, who never really kicked on.

I seem to recall people who watched St Pats sagely telling everyone that Logan was going to be the best Tomkins. Iain Thornley was OK but people had much higher expectations of him too.

Quentin Pongia.
