If my memory serves me right. Wigan signed a similar type of player to Andy Powell in the late 50s /early 60s he came with the reputation of being the "Iron Man" of Welsh Rugby of course he was targeted by the opposition I think he only played about 6 games, more putty than iron.I think his name was Peter Davies does anyone else remember him.

Can Bradford keep up the good form? I believe they can but I do think the top four at the end of the season will be Wigan, Warrington, St Helens and Leeds. 

A story appeared in the press this week saying Sale’s Andy Powell was crossing codes and joining Wigan. I can see why the link came about with Iestyn Harris being part of our coaching staff but the squad were told there was absolutely no truth in it – sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Sounds a bitlike Denzil Jones
Powell is a hard man/line breaker
Bit like Scott Quinnell, but looks after the ball better!

I remember him came with a massive reputation as a hard man.
Same time as Mantle went to Saints, we all know who got the best bargain.

I think he played 1 game in the first team and finished the season in the A team. Went to Salford afterwards.

Just read the article in the Mail.

Sam Tomkins is going to look a bit silly if Powell has signed!

Anyone got any ideas?
Whatever happened to Billy McGinty's pineapple?

Well so far, two people from the club have knocked it on the head!

I thought perhaps someone else said something as well :)
