KPryce

People mention the likes of Bell and Ainscough but they did cut the mustard unlike KP and were involved in final successes. They fall in the Andrew Farrar column as unglamarous get the job done players.

Karl Pryce had the best tries to games ratio in the Super League last season :roll:

David Vaealiki has to be one of the worst, once beat Paul Wellens with a rather unconvincing dummy but that is no great achievement.

Can we include Luke Davico??

Mr Vaeliki,
Mr Pryce,
Mr Moran,
Mr Mather,
That barrel chested stand off about 6 seasons back from Aus, Italian sounding name anyway.

In no particular order mind, can't think of any forwards save L Davicio
My young son got his autograph in the SSB when he was saying his goodbye's but it soon washed out of the shirt :)

Dennis Moran.

He was a corrupting influence and good riddance when he left.

Gareth Hock, and not for his playing ability.
Funny how the players that don't perform are the ones the fans have the knifes out for as soon as they start. Mathers, Moran, succeded after they left Wigan, Smith can hold down a 7 shirt in NRL, Pryce will come back to haunt us if he leaves.

T.E.W., You're maybe thinking of Gary Henley-Smith. He played a handful of games in the 1985 season and if memory serves me right, he was a New Zealand sprinter with a good record in that. Was never a R.L. winger in the memory of man.

I used to see some sense in your posts Jim.
However, given the change in structure and procedures at the club and the subsequent success that it has brough, I just can't fathom what you're thinking with this post. Obviously not with an open and objective mind. :conf:

Jim, give over.

Mathers went to Wire and did okay. So well, they've replaced him with Hodgson who is now pushing 67 by the look of his harrowed face.

Moran was so bad and unprofessional he was shown the door mid-season and went on to the dizzying heights of Widnes and Leigh superstardom.

Tim Smith, when he wasn't frightening old ladies in Yoga classes, was a loose cannon and prone to doing silly things that very mentally ill people do.

As for Karl Pryce. Well the players call him Katie. That says it all.

Please explain Feka and Bails will you. Cameron Phelps even?

I am struggling to fit them in your theory
