In a way that shows how far we have come, he probably wouldn't get near my top ten, he may have been a big disappointment but we have had some real shockers over the years.

I'm not saying worst player, I'm talking biggest disappointment given his history and apparent standing as an NRL / NZ / Samoan International.

+1

Anyone who Watched him in the last year or two of his NRL career would've known exactly what we were getting. The player we've seen in his time here, is the player he was when we signed him, he's not all of a sudden taken a massive dip in form since coming here. He's just an over the hill past it forward who in his day was a good player. A very puzzling and poor signing by us. Here's hoping we don't make the same mistake again.

If I can be d over the weekend, i may attempt to put a post together, listing all Overseas players we've had during Superleague, and see what the overall thoughts are.

Like Wirefan says, my +1 relates to his comment that he is the worst when you factor in his past rep, and the wages he has conned from us.

*Not counting Andrew Johns

Cheers for that, there's a few obscure ones you may have missed, i'll go through tonight and pad this out a bit.

Add Danny Farrar & Richard Henare to your 13

In front of Monaghan and Monaghan? No way.

Add Spud Carroll to that list who even Richard Branson said would be the biggest signing in RL

Richard Henare was on the left wing. Both Hicks & Monaghan were on the right.

Henare......what a terrible waste....

Not a good set of props from that list.

Did Darren Burns retire after he left us?

Think so,

Loved Mr. Burns, makes my all time Wire XIII (counting from 199icon_cool.gif, as does Sid Domic.

We let Sid go too early. I think to make room for the return of Koe-Love.

terrible loss...... how will we ever replace such a tremendous player?

well my dead nan isnt getting a game for widnes crematorium.... maybe we could dig her up and bring her on for 15 mins now and again.

my dead mum will have something to say about this md..get shut of wheeler and we can accomodate em both and we will still be well under the cap

we really should be employed by the club with this much forward thinking.

Dallas Mead and Tony Tautupo for my were the worst they couldn't of played more than 20 games between them ??

Class player, would run through a brick wall for the team.

If memory serves we had a choice between keeping Graham Appo, or keeping Sid Domic. In the end we signed up Appo following 'That' year when he covered for a Briers injury - he made the dream team I think...?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, at the time Appo was on fire and I think Domic had missed much of the season with an illness / injury of some sort. The RFL brought the overseas quota down by 1 and Domic was the one cut. I think it was probably the right call given the facts as they were, turned out to be a shocking decision though, given how he went on to perform for Wakey & Hull FC. Appo also was a shadow of his former self as we moved in to the HJ.
