Worst ever Wigan 13
Worst ever Wigan 13
OK it's been done before ( nothing of note happening over the weekend) and always creates a some good banter
Here's my shot at the players who should never have graced the famous jersey.
Full back.
Doc Murray -'a no brainer'-literally
Wingers
Roy Heaney ex Bolton Wanderer from the dark days
Gary Henley Smith New Zealand sprinter and absolultely terrified
Centres
Steve Davies -the Wonderboy from Leigh-did nothing
Scrum half
Ness Flowers -for the name alone
Stand off
Tim Smith -terrible
Props
Steve Breheny -Looked ferocious and that was it
Gill Dudson -Just nowhere near good enough
Hooker
Ray Martland-spent virtually his whole career on his nose -tryless
Second Row
Ronnie Dootson
Jordan James -Why?
Loose Forward
Wayne Elvin
Struggled in certain positions but numerous candidates for full back and wingers

Re: Worst ever Wigan 13
Wouldn't have put Steve Davies in there. Thought him and Dave Willicombe were a decent centre pairing in what was a very mediocre side!wildbeast wrote:OK it's been done before ( nothing of note happening over the weekend) and always creates a some good banter

Re: Worst ever Wigan 13
In hindsight probably unfair on Steve Davies-just that expectations were very high and he was pretty ordinary. david willecombe was an excellent centre.
Forgot about Mark Bell-agreed he should have been nowhere first team-we must have been pretty dire at the time.

Re: Worst ever Wigan 13
Some of you need to go back to season 1979-80 if you think some of the more recent signings were bad.
In that season, most of the squad was bad, not just the odd one or two in different seasons.
George Fairbairn being a outstanding exception!

Jimmy Birts HAS to make any worst Wigan team.
