Winds me up when people put Tukere Barlow in these lists. Ok, he was not another Duane Mann, but that wasn't his fault. A decent player who actually scored on his debut when it had taken thursfield about two years to register a try. If you were watching the wire when barlow played then you surely must've seen the hooker we had a few years later. Step forward Mr. Kris Watson. Has anyone even mentioned him yet?

Here here, glad someone mentioned him! I was so giddy when we signed him to link up with Langer, the old Brisbane partnership!

How disappointed I was to see a Jonny Vegas lookalike, utter pants and waste of time and certainly biggest disappointment

what a poop post even today at 44 years of Age Walters looks nothing like a fat PLEASE DON'T USE THAT TERM AGAIN, IT IS NOT WELCOME ON RLFANS from St Helens. Like I said a few pages back the bloke came over to England just over a couple of years after his Wife had died of Cancer leaving him bringing up three young boys. I can fully understand Why he decided he wanted to go back home after one Game......

if you judge the qualities of a former Brisbane, Queensland, and Australia Legend after his first game in England then I would imagine only Allan Langer would have lasted more than one game for Wires, how many Overseas players have had sparkling debuts....???

Walters decided it wasnt for him and went home thats fair enough at least he turned up unlike Campion and at least he didnt rob us for a season like Steve Roach, and at least he wasnt crap for two seasons flicking the bird to our fans like Matt king......

Don't know if it's been brought up before (not trawlling thru 12 pages again), but the 3 "dobbers" that Reggie Bowden brought from Fulham
Hussein M'Barki
Steve Diamond
Dave Allen (might as well have signed the comedian in the 3 piece suit, whisky and missing fingers).
They were 5h1t3

(again, cba checking thru 12 pages) Francis Maloney. Lots of talent, but a TOTAL WASTE OF SPACE in a Wire jersey.
In THAT 34-0 home ####ing by Wigan on Easter Monday 1995 (sticks in the throat more than the Stains 80 niller), I remember Davies giving him a verbal ####ing for not even attempting a tackle on a Wigan player.
A waste of a decent talent, but was always in the shadow of pooh-house Harris, throughout their careers (they started at the same time, iirc)

Whoa! Kris Watson flashback

Wasn't the Kevin Campion thing finally explained in the Super League Supermen with Mark Foster not long back?

Re: our worst ever signings : Sun Jun 17, 2012 5:56 pm  

Did we sign Gray Viane on loan?.....

Re: our worst ever signings : Sun Jun 17, 2012 5:58 pm  

Tony Tatupu; had an abundance of ability. Unfortunately, his application was the polar opposite.

Pointless signings: Doc Murray, Antony Swann, Martin Dermot (knees shot), Kris Watson.

Those caning Neil Parsley, etc, seem to have forgotten the state we were in at the time of theses signings. poop creek wouldn't come close.

Reggie Bowden also signed Bob Jackson from Fulham. One of the Wire all time greats.
