Can you think back over the years about Wigan player who having had a howler of a game were soon gotten rid of?

The most famous one I can think of was Desi Williams - Castleford away, dropped every ball kicked to him from which Cas scored 2/3 tries. Was dragged off never to be seen again.

Anyone else?

You not thinking of Desi there mate?

Was that not Desi Williams? If not then he had a similar shocker at Cas on Sky.

Was that not Desi Williams, if not he also had a shocker at Cas

I was just thinking that sounded like him

Wasn't that someone else?

Desi Williams?

Thats who I meant



Must research more thoroughly next time

Great minds obviously!

They looked a bit like each other. (ahem)

There was one match where Vialiki played full back and I think it was finally then we realised what a crock of excrement we had actually bought.

His first game?

I remember one game which Moran played in when he was really really shocking and it was almost unbareable to watch and it was the last straw really. Cant remember who it was against though.

Paul Koloi - Canberra Raiders (A) 1997 WCC

I dont know whether this counts but - Luke Davico

One that should count will be Wayne McDonlad

Richard Mathers - Wakefield at home - Sunday 8th Feb 2009

He should never wear a first team jersey again after that inept performance.

haha i remember Desi Williams debut in 2005, cant remember who it was against. But he had a shocker! and that was at home, then he had an equally game the week after and dissapeared forever

I dont agree with that, he was bad, but he was not so bad that he should never play for the rest of the year, he will get his chance and then he will be out.

Didn't wreck his career though did it? He still got picked week in week out until he left!

Dave

i know, he had some bad moments but the lad will (hopefully) get better. I personally cant see him getting better but I'd really like to see him back to the form he was in before that terrible injury which most people seem to have forgotten about

Felt it was harsh on Desi that day at Cas he was up against a really tall winger 0 Mellor I think his name was. But he never recovered from that - even though he'd been an international at academy level.


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?

Salford away in a friendly.

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.
