He proper stole a wage from us! I remember watching him in the Nrl and thinking this can't be the same person!

Kidwell claimed that he couldn't play in the mud and cold weather.

Bless his fragile little soul.

Well, he was good in Emmerdale, so I'm told

I remember that game, we were something like 16-0 down but came back and won it 24-16 or something like that. Happy days.

Yeah we won that game 30-22 but then went on to loose 7 straight games!

Dale Cardoza scored one of the best tries ever scored at Wilderspool. That was a false dawn.

Yes he did. Typical of most of the players in that side: capable of one flash of genius per season.

That was an awful season, some good performers if you will in that side though, Hilton, Clarke, Burns and Marquet were not bad players by any stretch, Marquet was top tackler of the season IIRC, so he got through some graft. Domic i class as a Wire legend



I've just been wracking my brains, i've not cheated, i'm guessing our interchange players for that game would have been... Gleeson, Fozzard, P Wood, and Guisset? Or maybe Noone?

Can add Smyth into that too, contributed well in P&B and I'll never forget 'that' try against Bradford!

That team was nowhere near the worst we had in back end of 2001/first two thirds of 2002.

Aye i must've glossed over his name, a good player

Still having nightmares over Michael Sullivan !

The Leeds play off game - Briers drops the 1 point, we regain possession from the short kick off only for Sullivan to knock on with 30 seconds left !

I often wondered whether he was a hooker or a half back - he was neither

I also wondered if he kicked with his left or right foot - he couldn't kick with either

Can we please desist from this over-generous use of the word legend?. Brian Bevan was a legend, Gerry Helme was a legend, Jonathan Davies was a legend, Sid Domic was a very good player, end-of.

always laugh at Sullivan's reaction to the travelling wire fans at Hudderfield singing "there only one Michael Sullivan..........he used to be $hite, now he's alright......"

I often cringe hearing the word legend being banded around. Domic is not a Warrington legend by a long chalk, neither are any the likes of Nat Wood or Toa Kohe Love. Good players, maybe. Legend... Not a chance

Is Jonathan Davies really a legend? One of the best players ever to play for Warrington yes, but legend?

Fine then, ya miserable git... Cult hero?

Yes. Would be in most peoples best ever team and very nearly lifted our team into being champions.

i can see where ancw is coming from on this, for one season, he did, the next season and a half, not so much. PArtly due to injury granted.

How does that balance out in the overall picture?

One player comes in, and transforms a team, gets them performing to a level above where they normally would be? Can you classify graham appo like this then?

Appo had a superb half season, then got a new contract, re-discovered pizzas and takeaways and reverted to type, turned out to be more of a leg end than a legend.
Legends are those who give fantastic service and stay with the Club through thick and thin.

thick and thin.....Pizza base size?

oh i'm not suggesting by any means that appo be considered anything, i'm playing devils advocate and will sink the battleship of anyone normally that suggests he was anything other than on a moderately hot streak.

i'm just apportioning criteria for legend status, or trying to see what the criteria would be, personally i wouldn't classify either of them as a legend.



Ps, appo was more like a good quarter of a season,e very other week at best.

There has to be something that seperates "longevity" from "legendary", otherwise players such as; Paul Cullen; Lee Penny; Mark Forster; and Mike Wainwright; all with 200+ appearances and over 10 years at the club, and definately through "thin & thinner times", fall within a "legendary" status.

But, realistically, it all comes down to personal preference.

I think Cullen and Forster have better claims to legendary status than Davies, but I probably wouldn't include any of them. I'm not even sure I'd include Briers but I probably would in the end. Brian Bevan is the only one I'd 100% include.

Wire Legends since I've been watching (1979)

John Bevan
Mike Greg
(can't really comment on Parry Gordon, as he was at the "fag-end" of his career)
Possibly Briers

Mentioned in dispatches
Possibly Briers
Morley (when you look at it, he missed many games)
Jackson
Boyd (4 years, broken arms didn't help)
Davies (only did 26 months)

Excellent players
Mark Roberts
Andrew Johns (only 3 games though)
Phil Blake
Martin Gleeson (just his commitment when Smith arrived, let him down)
Ken Kelly
Tamati
Bateman
Woods
Drummond

Longevity/clubmen
Cullen, Forster, Hesford, Sanderson

obviously I've missed a few

Please, please, please
Can nobody include Domic, Kohe-Love, Burns, and Nat "half-back with an allergy to passing the ball" Wood in any of the above. All v. good players, but not in the categories mentioned above (imo, of course)
