Quote: Deano G "Yes I didn't think Matautia was a great player. So? You/FTV have said he was rubbish/NL1 standard. Clearly thats not the case.'"
He was most definitely rubbish. In fact, he was a total liability. I doubt any Wigan fans who actually remember him would disagree.
Quote: Deano G "As for Anderson, he appears to have been a competent squad player. All teams have them, even Wigan in the early 90s. Saints have them now. Yet you argue that he and others, forming what would appear to be the majority of Saints double winning squad, were only NL1 standard. Bizarre.'"
You're saying he was a valuable squad member in 1996, I'm saying he only played 2 games and was at Leigh a couple of years later never to be seen again. One is opinion (from a person who admits to not even remembering watching him play
) and one is fact.
A lot of that squad wouldn't get within a sniff of a top 6 team in this years SL, let alone the champions. A lot would be in the Championship (as many of them were a couple of years later).
