Nathan Wood was a decent individual, capable of moments of brilliance and equally frustration. What he did posess were qualities which the average man could relate to, if any of us were lucky enough to pull on the P&B, we have ideas of what we'd be like, but what you know is that your pride in that jersey would mean that you'd give 100% every week, you'd push your body to the absolute point of breaking, you'd lead by example and you'd probably do some pretty ordinary stuff, but when you did, nobody would be able to accuse you of not trying, maybe trying too hard, but not trying, and that was he. I was always felt & still feel you need a bit more than that from your halves, but right now you'd take just having that.

We all call him a 'trier' and that's probably a little unfair, he was a bit better than that, but most of his qualities benefitted his game in the main, and were not creative qualities.

the best memory i have of *** **** was when it was revealed that this fan favorite, this adonis amongst players, was all set to sign for wigan.

That was fantastic that was.

so as a supposed replacement for Adrian Lam at Wigan RLFC he musnt have been that bad then....???

plus he didnt play like he was on his way to another club did he....

he was 31 it would have been his last contract i didnt give a toss back then i still dont now. we have not replaced him thats a fact

I can think of a couple of names that i'd wish were linked with Wigan right now.

Nat Wood had heart. Something hardly any of the current players have.

i was friends with natty wood he was a gent a very respectable to my wife and kids if had took time to chat with him you would have found that out yourself

I know. This is another stupid thread. Nat Wood was average at best.

unlike briers and monaghon who are`nt even average

So a you advocate keeping players here long as possible, even when it is common sense that knocks and injuries will soon come back to haunt them?

Well he wasn't very respectable at Wakefield let me tell you.

Briers has given more to Warrington on the field than Nat Wood ever did and as I say, I've nothing against Nat Wood. I just ain't gonna let personal dislike for any player to cloud my judgement. Problem is with a few on here, they do exactly that.
