Talking rugby in the pub the other day, we realised that there havn't been a great number of players moving directly from Wigan to Tellins or vice verca over the last fifty/sixty years but the ones who came to Wigan have all been cracking players. The first player I remember moving to us was a lad named Bill Bretherton, a prop, then Frank Carlton, what a buy he was, a great winger. Then Andy Platt, followed by Gary Connolly. Somewhere in the mix are Duggie Greenhall and Brian Hogan and thats about it. I can't think of many who have moved to Tellins other than Bobby Goulding and Longy, via Widnes, Nat Silcock(but I never saw him play for Wigan) and Ricky Bibey. Oh yes!!!! and Bill Sayer, how could I almost forget how that man did for us at Wembley. Any more anyone?

Not sure about this one, he was from st helens but not sure if he played for them, Brian Dunn have a pint with him every now and then and he's a cracking bloke.
