See Wigan are following on from England RL, Leeds and Wire in allocating 'heritage numbers' for every player who has played for the club in debut order.

The numbers are to be announced at ''Heritage Day' on Friday.

Good idea

Now been announced, Mickey Mac is number 1000, great honour for the lad.

"Wire" and "heritage" in the same sentence.

Greatest tryscorer in the history of the game, biggest crowd ever seen at a game in this country. ONLY team in the history of the game never to be relegated. That enough for you?

I must have missed the year Catalans were relegated.

I'll phrase it a little better. The only team to play all it's rugby in the top division

Catalans?

oh wow, fantastic!

please forgive me if I don't go too green with envy at all those fantastic honours for your cracking little club

I believe Leeds have never been relegated either.

While it isn't surprising to see fans of any club talk up their club and its history such a feat (worthy though it is of some acknowledgement) is not as impressive and noteworthy as it would be in for example soccer (where relegation has almost always been a feature) as in the vast majority of seasons in RL it would not have been possible to either be relegated or to be in any league but the top one (as only one existed). The feats of Bevan and the attendance records are rightly sources of pride for the Warrington club though (and for Halifax in terms of the attendance record).

Many clubs in the game have a history that their fans are proud of and for differing reasons. Not all are because of historical trophy hauls. The lack of a metal pot at the end of any given season doesn't make it any less a part of the club's heritage.

118 years of utter mediocrity isn't much of a heritage, bro.
