brothers playing together : Sun Mar 01, 2009 5:28 pm  

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?
