Lee Gilmour. He kind of did make it but left in 2000 as he wanted to play centre when second row was clearly his best position. He was a top player for us in 98 and 99 and i was gutted when he left.
Another one was Simon Haughton. Again he sort of did make it at Wigan but he got injured and Raper never gave him a fair chance after that and he vanished off radar. In the late 90's, Haughton was the one of the most effective impact players in the world. He was the most destructive wide running second rows ive ever seen. He had immense strength in his upper body and legs and was really quick for his size. He even managed to terrorize the Aussies in the 97 WCC and the few internationals he played. Anybody know if he played for anybody else after leaving Wigan?
