I was just looking through the archives recenlty and noticed 4 players who signed for Wigan but never got round to playing a first team league game!

1. Shem Tatupu. signed in 1995 but never played for the first team.
2. Wendell Sailor. signed in 1999!
3. Mark Hilton. got injured and went back to Warrington
4. Luke Davico played 2 minutes of a FRIENDLEY GAME never to bee seen again.
If anyone can name some more this couldbe a good thread a046.gif

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery....... I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself. Radio 5 Live, Sat, April 14th, 2007,...Dave Whelan, "In Wigan, rugby will always be king" 'I was certain, positive, convinced, and yet..........unsure' 'It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it' Worry will not prevent destiny from unfolding.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3632.jpg

I think Tatupu made 4 apps in the first team, all as sub.

Also, Sean Alvarez only played in a friendly at Hilton Park.

Tatupu played, I remember Neil Harmon taking the ball in thinking he would run over Tatupu, but he got picked up and dumped.

Tatupu played against Halifax in a regal trophy game on the TV and had a stormer, sadly it was a storm(er) in a tea cup as he never played again

I watched him play his only game in the reserves, he had a nightmare and appeared to be terrified of the ball everytime it went into the air!!

Shane Varley* from NZ back in the early 80's I believe.

From what I was told he got off the plane at Manchester having reached a gentlemans agreement with Maurice (who was waiting at CP to complete the deal), but was met by Leigh officials at the airport and signed for them instead....???

* I was told this by a group of Leythers at the time so it could be complete bollox.
