His other game was a 64-8 thrashing of London at the JJB? Not sure how he could have had a bad game in that kind of win? :?


yeah, we won but wasnt he really bad for the part he played in the game. Thats why he got another chance against cas the week later. Im not sure i was only about 12 or 13

Vaealiki repaid us for all his shocking games with that one try when he skimmed Wellens. Not to forget when he threw Jamie Lyon over the touchline the first time they played against each other then offered him a fight for no reason!

Was the week before the final at Cardiff wasn't it? Seem to remember praying we wouldn't pick him.

The only times he stood out for me was when he side stepped the Leeds defence and passed the ball for Chris Ashton to score against them in 2006 (on that try of the season video.) And that Saints game in 2007 on the last game of the regular season was his best he ever had.

True. Well overrated by the Leeds fans, as they do with all their players.

How about Doc Murray in his first match?

That was the first time in years when I actually thought: "Crikey, we've bought a lemon!"

He probably played a few more matches that season, but he lost the crowd on that very first appearance, when he seemed to think that playing at Wigan's pace was too much trouble.

... and then became reincarnated as 'Richie Mathers' circa 2008 :wink:

Whoever suggested the game that ended mathers' career was the wakey one?! The game that should have ended his career was millenium magic last year...yet we had a spineless coach who continued to let him off and forget his failings!!

At least it only took the wigan coach in 1997 6 games to realise murry was woeful....its taken the current one 'a season and a half not out' with mathers!

Though it is official...mathers is better than murry.......as that link proves murry never scored for wigan...mathers has ONE try so must be better :wink:
