I'm sure every single player who has ever pulled on the shirt could appear on this list for someone.

I think Tyrone Roberts from recent years would be on my personal list, I just never took to him.

Wrongly scaprgoated, in my opinion:

Wainwright, Myler, Sims, Atkins, Jon Clarke, Rauhihi, Leikvoll, Waterhouse and most recently the 2022 edition (caveated, they everyone was pants to a certain degree) Currie.

Those I’d go along with:

Rodwell, Roberts, fat Sandow, fat Appo, year 1 Michael Monaghan, Tatupu, Mafi, Jason Roach, Michael Eager, Kidwell.

If you are including year 1 Michael Monaghan, surely you should also include year 1 Matt King?

The difference in the two is, in my opinion, King wasn’t as bad as was being made out. He actually started really well, but was just a victim of having a big reputation and was expected to be a match winner by those that had evidently never paid attention to his skills and capabilities. People expected Gidley/Lyon/Gleeson, but he’s just not that player.

Monaghan on the other hand typified the 2011 team. He played with courage and flair, made chances and took risks, but backed them up with hard graft and defended excellently when we turned the ball over. That first year, it couldn’t be said that was the case, a lot of waving of arms and hands on hips, which ultimately results in “that pass” ultimately to Luke Dorn.

Simply put, Monaghan wasn’t a decent halfback behind a collectively average pack. His return to 9 was his making.

I’m sure he was more comfortable at 9, but that doesn’t mean you go around kicking stones when you don’t play there. Jon Clarke was a far better 9 that he was a 7 but still put in the effort in 2010 when asked to fill in.

Monas, who I have down as the best Warrington hooker in my 30-odd years of watching, contributed massively to the fall of Cullen (who had probably hit his ceiling, but deserved better). If that version of Michael Monaghan was here in 2022 he would have been bad apple’d to another club.
