His bottle went after he got dumped on his head in about his 2nd game

Ripped our A team to shreds once though

In recent years, Dale Cardoza without a doubt. Stronger than cider and very quick. Could have been a very very good player.

Most of our SL side?

To put those in the "wasted talent" bracket would suggest that they had any talent in the first place, Nik

Always thought Dave Whittle gave up too early

Dave had just joined the Police when he got a very nasty injury playing for Chorley, I think, and decided not to risk his career in the police force by carrying on playing rugby

Dave is still a community safety officer with the Ince Community Policeing team.

and part time fisherman

2 BOBS.

Agree with two bobs, pity he was a nutter.

David Stephenson (oh my god)
Mick Round (did play well at times but flattered to deceive and packed in early I think)
Mark Sheals (always thought he'd have been a top prop)
Tim Street (was awesome for us but should have taken the bull by the horns when he went to Hull, could have been a GB regular but loved our club too much

)

Fair comment Matt, fair comment.

Ah right, a good honest prop was Dave, its a shame but I suppose there is a grand scheme of things to consider

Darren Beasant - remember him almost single handedly beating Leeds at the end of one season and thought he'd be a world beater, how wrong I was lol

the subject of the law reminded me of " hobby the bobby", who was signed from fartown circa 1980

looked a world beater one week, and not right good the next

Milton Huddart

superb defence.............offered nowt going forward

Wayne Standish... bit harsh to say "wasted" talent as I think injuries did for Wayne more than anything else.

must have missed that week when he looked a world beater

Jules O'Neil

Adam Bibey... don't think anyone can argue with this one.

on one leg, grogged up , and with no sleep the night before, and STILL better than most for genuine class!!


i know he really splits the "parish" on here, but the thread is wasted talent, but this guy oozed talent

O'Neill is a good call, forgot about him - which probably sums it up, someone with his obvious talent shouldn't be forgetable.

Glynn Davies??

I remember him distroying Hull in the challenge cup away, not sure of the year possibly 86.
