To be fair we bought one of the best wingers in the world and played him at centre for a full season. After a couple of months, his confidence was shot and he did look a catastrophe of a signing. Thankfully when played in his rightful position he quickly found his NRL form, this also coincided with being handed the goal kicking duties. |

He actually played more games on the wing that year.

Sincere apologies for overstepping the mark 
To be fair to NickyKiss though, he was dreadful that year and that may be partly due to him playing centre for the first half of the year along with playing in an incredibly poor team that was incredibly low on confidence.

TBH, considering how poor the team around him was, combined with him playing out of position, he didn't have a bad strike rate in either position really.
These are his stats:
Pos---Games-----Tries------Strike-Rate
1-------1----------0----------0.0
2-------7----------5----------0.71
3-------9----------4----------0.44
4-------0----------0----------N/A
5-------7----------4----------0.57
Combined totals
Wing----14-------9----------0.64
Centre---9-------4----------0.44
Total----23------13---------0.56
A better than 50% strike rate is not bad at all for a guy "low on confidence" and "having a stinker", due to to "playing out of position".
Reading those stats, I don't believe that he was anywhere near as bad as people (myself included, I'll admit) seem to think he was.

I find that most interesting. Thanks for putting it up. There's still plenty of anti- Millward ammo out there but this puts 1 myth to bed nicely IMO.

Best winger at the club, and starting to reach Dallas esk levels of respect and status.

Its players like Paddy and Lockers who really deserve to win something with Wigan. They've been through all the sh*t with us fans and have now come through the other side. Lets hope we see these lads lifting a major trophy in the cherry and white sooner rather than later. You could see how much the game at Leeds meant to Paddy, he was close to tears at the end, he's got true passion for our club!!

No problem JJ.
I only collated the figures.
All the thanks go to Bilko for providing the data in the first place. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

I normally prefer not to compare players. Look what happened to comparing Lockers to Faz, but in this case it's so true. He will certainly be one of Wigans overseas legends. IMO he is a much better player than Dallas already mainly due to his physical attributes.
Nevermind best winger at the club though, he is the best in the league and one of the best in the world, I can't think of a winger I would rather have really.
I hope he stays with us untill the end of his career! |

I have been speaking to a few fans of other clubs who seem to think Pat will be heading to the AFL with Folau at the end of this season. Has anybody else heard anything regarding this???
I sincerely hope not. |
