Disappointing Signings

[R&WTILLIDIE]

In fact his nickname was 'period' cause he only turned up once a month.
( sorry in advance to our female guests)

I had no idea. Hahaha.

Does anyone remember Trevor Lake!
South African winger many years ago.
Has very good in his short time with Saints.
Don't remember why he didn't stay longer.

Remember the Bert Gordon intercept well.
Can still remember the Graeme Hughes commentary for the try, Conlon, Jack, oh INTERCEPT, away go Gordon.........

Brett Morris was a great player for us.

Could have been one of the Dragons' greats, but has been a disappointing signing for the Dogs due to injury and age catching up to him. Definitely had his best years in the Red V and, in hindsight, smart move by the club (I think Mulholland at the time) in letting him leave as his salary expectations were too high (from my recollection). I still would have liked to see him finish his career with the Dragons though.

I wish he went to another team like the Gold Coast or Newcastle instead of the scum dogs. Def not worth the cash he's currently on.

Yes , came over for the 1967 season with a lot of publicity as he had played the first season of 4 tackle football and all the Sydney media wanted to know how it went , so a novelity factor and actually interviewed at Sydney airport on arrival like a rock star! . Took a couple of games to get going , a great positional player scored 3 tries in one game but broke his leg the next. Never saw the best of him but gone after the broken leg. Don't know if he stayed or went back to the old Dart after that.

Our latest disappointment is Packer. He just now makes the Kiwi side and playing at the top of his game. We lose him over an extra 1 year and 100k on his extension. Very disappointed because hard nosed props are hard to find.

Losing him has been disappointing, however no-one can fault the original signing.

So many people were opposed to signing him but he's managed to prove everyone wrong. Not only on the field, but more importantly off the field as well.

Dane Nielsen was a huge disappointment. Really expected a lot from him.

Darren south

South (the tiny headgear fullback) was a good player. I remember his length of the field try at jubilee . Picked it up in the southern in goal and down the west try line

Bert Gordon won you the 1988 Panasonic Cup but totally Pharked my old Group 10 cub as coach.

Other than that mid week cup final ....... nothing.

He wasn't a bad player, came up through the grades - old school

Remember it well, was my first "at game" victory as a young fella.
Put a good score on the Sharks that day.
Peter Gill Man of the match from memory.
