It was a no brainer AJ





Every way you look at Dermott; passing, defence, scooting, enthusiasm, team morale, bravery (Paul Harrogan

) Derm was pure class.

Says it all for me !!

People talk about how good Greg, Edwards and Hanley were (and they were), but that extra half yard that Derms gave them from the pass was a great help to them.

He's the best passer of a ball I've ever seen from dummy half, fast and accurate.

Derms is the best no.9 I've seen at Wigan, and despite some patchy performances I'd swap both Riddell and McClorum for Newton.

Me too, would have loved to have seen Joe Egan play, my uncle who watched Wigan all his life ( and lived to be 86 ), said Egan was the best he ever saw.

Robbie McCormack was an exceptional player whom I rate even higher than Newton.



Regarding Joe Egan, my Dad also reckons best ever Wigan hooker.

Dermott was my hero growing up watching wigan. I started work at Hindley prison where he became an officer and i was in awe everytime i saw him, even as 20 odd year old. In super league though, i have to go for turry or robbie

We should NEVER have sold Terry Newton

Correct,,,Dermott amd McCormack were also class in their different ways

who makes thease threads dermot was in the 80s terry newton long gone ,all your post on other threads state riddell best around and how he is going to realy change things so let him get on with it stop living in the past ,whats up you not won anythin for that long you have to keep harping on about your 20 years ago glory ,get over it and move on

I wonder why nobody went for Higham?
