Pah, we all know from the Cunningham-Stostic icident last year that it takes a mere flick of the King's wrist to break bones.

You must be so proud to have such a player in your team!

Terry was never much of a fighter though,was he? I remeber him throwing a couple at Wilkin years back, but that's it (apart from getting punched by Brian Mc).

Newton is like Ryan Bailey, cheap shot merchant but when it comes to going toe 2 toe with the big boys, runs a mile

Ask Barry Mac if that is true. And I don't agree with you about Bailey either, IMO he's a very under rated forward.

I well remember he and Gareth Hock sorting out the Aussie forwards in an England v Aussie academy game at Knowsley Road.

Yeah, but that was a long time ago and he's not done anything of the sort since, apart from outside a nightclub of course

Read Barry Mc's autobiography,you'll find you are wrong.

Newton is another Skerrett. Adored by the coin chuckers from over the hill as some sort of uber hardmen when in reality, they only look hard when picking on the small men. That said, I remember Goulding giving Skerret a few slaps and lets not Forget Picky slapping Skerett around and I forget who it was that dropped Skerett with one punch at knowsley road.

Steady on with thoughts like that sunshine

I remember Skerrett clocking Stuart Cummins but that's it.

haha dream on mate hes a kid kerion would kill him that young lad is just another mouthy wiganer all mouth
and no go

Except that McIlorum is from Leeds and played for Queens.

I think you might be getting Skerett mixed up with another fat wigan s***house - Neil Cowie. Foggy planted one on him in the scrum a few years back and made a mess of his nose. Cowie was another always willing to go in hard on smaller blokes and dish out the cheap shots

Surely that was just a cover ... I mean that would mean he might not have supported Wigan since he was 2 and always dreamed of pulling on the Cherry and White .. Rogues has been lying to us !!!!!!

Nope, 2 seperate incidents. Picky was the dummy runner and Skerett hit him off the ball so Picky went after him and used his face for a punchbag. It might even have been in the same game as the foggy/cowie incident

Didn't he belt Julian O'Neill when he was at Wakefield?

Can't remember that, I remember him getting clobbered by Scully though.

You miss the cheap shot from Henry Paul? Cowie started it Foggy finished it nothing sly about that, when your an ex heavy weight boxer you dont need to be sly. Cowie was a fat cheapshot merchant for most of his career so he deserved everything he got. Skerrett saw Picky coming and gave as good as he got - then followed it up with what he was best at , mouthing off.


Watching that Video reminds why I hated Wigan so much (brings back memories too I was at that game) - and it makes me laugh how much complaining Wigan fans did about Lee Smith recently when you watch that c0ck Offiah with Edwards. Watching that Wigan team fall to peices was so satisfying

Now come on guy's let's not forget big hard Sonny ..now if you want to talk cheap shot merchants look no further...

I think you've got your C&W specs on there, pal. Foggy and Cowie were fighting, Fogerty just got the right move in First.
As for Skerrett and Picky, give over, for a start it kicked off when Skerrett tackled him off the ball, and Pickavance certainly didn't come from behind him. Besides, watching that bout of hand bags, it doesn't say much for Skerrett's hard man criteria when he can even handle the prettiest prop forward ever to play superleague.

Good video, mind, I remeber that game. Did you see the pace on Tommy God!?

It's no wonder Huges could never beat wigan though, their roster through the backs was ridiculous. We had Griffith on the wing, FFS.

You can brag all you want about hard men, but Foggy would have most probably pasted the lot of them. He was bloody rubbish at rugby though.
