| Quote Asgardian13="Asgardian13" The one who we brought through who had great potential - never really fulfilled - was Rick Thackray. Anyone recall what ended his career?'"
Playing for Widnes?
Seriously though, my first game Thackray and Phil Ford were on the wings on a wet winters's afternoon playing in the mud at Wilderspool against Bradford. We won, but don't remember much of the game as I couldn't see very much, but do remember both wingers scoring tries in front of the us in the Fletcher end.

Mark "fearless" Forster?
Andrew Ettinghausen? A Donkey
Mark Preston? Slower than an ice age
Foz was the king of the intercept and took on all the heirs to the title and remained the fastest man in world RL, until some gangly ex-RU nobody came along.

As did ....
Neil "Crafty" Kenyon (whose smoking habit put Keith Richards to shame)
Kevin Meadows
Mateaki Mafi
The latter was (apparently) an Olympic Sprinter, in much the same way as I am George Clooney's stunt double.

I just never got it with Andy Currier.
He was the catalyst and goal kicker in the (NRL) Winfield Cup a couple of seasons before he joined us.
He just wouldn't have it. Its obvious from him being a Smelly, he hated being at Warrington.
Some fans give Big Roy a dig...
Some fans gave Steve Roach a dig...
...but these guys look to be pulverising stone into dust compared with Andy Currier.
A complete disgrace to P&B.

And yet, Manoa (and presumably Mrs Manoa) had sufficient ball-eye co-ordination to produce Jarryd Hayne. Yes, the Kangaroos international is Manoa's son.
Maybe we signed the wrong parent, we should have signed Jarryd's mum since he clearly didn't inherit his RL ability off his old fella.

62 (+1 sub) games, 12 tries. Not the greatest.

| I'm amazed Gaskell got 12 as he only ever ran sideways. Ooof Jason Roach - who brought that up? He'll give me nightmares....do i remember him scoring 4 in a game once though? Was it his debut in a pre-season friendly....that could all be very wrong but it rings a bell.
Monaghan and Hicks is a tough one, I'd plump for Joel (JUST!)
