Riddell may well turn it round but I can't even think of a highlight from him this season, at least Higham had the odd flash of class, he even did ok at international level.

Special mentions to Mathers, Withers, Moran, Fielden, Riddell, Tickle and Millard for having first team squad numbers at the time despite playing so badly and extra special mention to Fielden for getting into both my best and worst teams of the decade! I didn't want to put James, Botham and McAvoy in there because they all did an ok job in a terrrible team, especially James.

I still find it hard to believe that [iactually[/i happened

I still have nightmares about the new signings for the 05 season - to replace legends O'Connor, Cassidy, Connolly etc - Vialeki, SeuSeu, Davico and Moran. We are just beginning to recover from such a disastorous policy.

It's sad though because they could have been good signings. Davico was just disastrously unlucky, Moran was a good player in one role that we tried to play in a totally different one (at which he was poor), Vaealiki was a silly gamble after the serious injury he'd sustained, and Seu Seu was just past it by the time he reached us. Just shows how risky the transfer market can be. Heck even Greg Florimo was a good player from all the evidence available, he was just poor for us.

Unbelieveably he once scored an hatrick for NZ "A" v GB - [url=http://wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/index.php?page_id=1123wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/index.php?page_id=1123[/url

He once kept Bowen out of some 18's side also

Why the downers on Sculthorpe? He beat Saints single handed in 04.

Very surprised by your inclusion of O'Neill, he actually had a good record with us, remember him playing a big part in beating us to at home when he joined widnes in 2003 which made it particularly gutting.

Agree with you.

O'Neill did a lot better than some at Wigan and did a decent job at stand-off, he certanly gave more value than Mathew Johns when it came to consistency. I remember Jules having a wow of agame against Saints at the JJB, he just tore them to shreds that day and made up for his failure to pass the ball to the inside man at Knowsley Road - the only game Stuart Rapers Wigan lost against Saints.

However if rumours surrounding his departure are to be believed then we really had no choice but to release him.

Hargreaves was bobbins for us and I haven't seen anything since to change that, Prescott suffered with loads of injuries over the same period and had a great season with us in '09.
