Stuart Fielden, Danny Orr, David Vaeliki, Shaun Ainscough, Karl Pryce... not to mention young kids who were touted as world beaters like Mark Flanagan (he was a coup as a youngster from Bradford, IIRC) and James Coyle, who never really kicked on.

I still maintain that under a different set of circumstances Flanagan could've been brilliant. Just think he went to Australia too soon when he was never going to get a game. Came back and drifted but missed a good few years where he should've been playing and developing.

Andy Powell.

Signed from Wales RU and big things were expected but he just never ever got going. Shame really but I think it was a little too late for him to make the move to RL. A few years earlier and he probably would have been good for us. IIRC it was a neck injury that ultimately ended his time at Wigan

Powell would have been a good signing in his mid twenties, Gareth Thomas as well, i met him when he was at the crusaders and was surprised at the size of him and he was very quick

He also brought the best out of Craig Smith, imagine facing those two in the same pack.

Can anyone shed light on the special shout out for Quentin Pongia from the game this afternoon? Did not sound good.
