Your Best Wigan RLFC Fullbacks
Re: Your Best Wigan RLFC Fullb...
Hampo for me.
Best catcher of a high ball I've ever seen.
Also remember a big hit he put in on Gary Mercer in the cup final against Wire that left Mercer shaking on the floor like he was having a fit.

Good player in attack not here long enough to see if he had true grit , a bit of an enigma back in Aus could be great or disappear at times , think our game over here suited his style ,did he play full back a lot for us?cpwigan wrote:I am in sulk mode. Phil Blake was one of my all time favourite players. No appreciation you blighters![]()

Yes nearly all his stint as I recall. Came with Les Davidson. Lovely balanced runner and a sublime chip and chase, used to chip the ball with the outside of the boot.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Did he? He was signed as replacement for Kevin Iro (Les Davison for Adrian Shelford). I felt sure Phil Blake played his games at centre for Wigan. :doz:cpwigan wrote:Yes nearly all his stint as I recall. Came with Les Davidson.

1. Hampson
2. Radlinski
3. (very controversially) Andre Stoop

The biggest Room is the Room for improvement.
The best form of defence is attack!!
Out of the black and into the red, remember you don't get anything for two in a bed!!
