Feel sorry a little for Withers for being in there, as he was a great player (remember him destroying us at Old Trafford with a hat-trick?), it's just that by the time he came to Wigan his body was a wreck!!

He was just $hite in general.....!! The best thing he EVER did for Wigan was knocking on for Bradford in the infamous playoff win allowing Richards to slot over the winning drop goal in the last minute..!

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

He was a massive part of fixing the the worst right sided defence in wigans history in 06.
He should have got more credit for this work than he did
IN A WARRIORS CODE THERE'S NO SURRENDER....THOUGH HIS BODY SAYS STOP, HIS SPIRIT CRY'S NEVER!!!!

Give over for a back he was slower than a tax rebate, screwed up many a good move. Think he scored one cracker. Like Millard, Wilkes, McDonald he was never 'Wigan Standard' but he came on the cheap as our Salary Cap was screwed in 2006. In essence, you get what you pay for!
