The Wire have had some great wingers over past 11 years.

who do you think did well for the wire!!

for example.

Graham appo
Henry fa`afili

and the ice man chris hicks!!

Fa'afili of course.

Rob Smyth

Hicks (the best this century?)

Riley

Penny for a while

Joel Monaghan may well turn out to be the best of the lot.

Appo was better at 6

Hicks for me as was very consistent. However J. Monas could take over that over time

Fa'afili - That dude could jump.

I always liked Alan Hunte also.

Fa'afili is an odd one for me, his try scoring record was great, but never seemed to do that much, think he was lazy, rarely ran straight and was fortunate to be alongside a good centre and receive Briers' high kicks.

1. Riley. Work(ed/s) hard for his shirt and really delivered last year + local lad)
2. Spiderman- Chris Hicks. That Wembley hat trick was superb and will be remembered by fans for the next 50 years (hopefully).
3. Dogtanian- Joel Monaghan. From the second he signed I knew we had something special and he will continue to improve

Hicks by a country mile for me. Scored tries from what looked like impossible situations too.

Joel looking the perfect replacement and so time will tell.

Fa'afili scored some good tries but didn't get many from more than 15/20 metres from the line.

What happend to Fa'afilli he signed for Quins and never played for them then dissapeared off the face of the earth

He plays union for Leeds Carnegie.

yeah just wikipediad it but didnt know how accurate that was lol

5 tries this year from 28 appearances.

As the thread asks 'who did well'
I'd say (in no particular order)
Hicks
Monaghan
Fa'afilli
Riley
Penny

Average
Smythe
Appo (when played there)
and a few more around that transition 01 02 era (mostly young uns)


Below Average
Barnett

Dross
Gaskell

I've probably missed a load out

must admit it used used be exciting to see gaskell in space!!

same with richie barnett jr aswel every now and then!

Been released from Leeds RU today, he also had a couple of years with a French RU team.

Next stop Widnes....?

Henry for Widnes ,

Henry for Widnes

Henry for Widnes





but wait,Henry will be to exspencive and Widnes wont be able to buy anyone else unlike the wire who can buy who ever they want.


Well up to now anyway.

Geat post



How many recent wire player deals have involved 'buying'?

Myler
Gleeson/Mathers

Henry would cost nothing to buy. The salary cap rules apply to us as much as anyone.

yeah was just stating that widnes havent bought big as much as we have.

Neil Parsley

oooh yeah is that the bloke from lancashire lynks who was suposed to be fast!

Who are these players we have bought?

God, I can't wait for the game to start now, so I can stop reading some of the rubbish that gets posted on here.

Aswel as buying major players in 2000 trying buy the league we also bought in players we thought were good but wasnt.

such as steve blackely from salford.he turned out to be a true waste of time.

were here to talk rugby league not complain!!
