You're clearly stirring the AP/Waigo situation. We just had better players to play ahead of him that worked better with the team. He was a great impact sub, when he started in the league he didn't make much impact.
Went there for a school trip about 5 years ago. It is an excellent and harrowing experience seeing all of the graves. I would agree with the post above that the Bayeaux Tapestry is worth a look.
