with joel and sam tomkins playing yesterday for the first team, i was trying to think of the last time that 2 brothers played in the same team at the same time. all i can think of is the iro's, but not sure if they were at the club at the same time or not.
there have been other brothers who have played for the first team, thomas and james coyle (although i don't think they ever played in the first team together).
so does anyone know the last time 2 (or more) brothers played in the wigan first team at the same time?

We will hopefully have 3 brothers playing together next season though.
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
