The worst player on $350K or more ever?

Who is the worst player on $350K or more to ever grace a football paddock?

For mine its Carl Webb by a country mile, you could count the number of good games he has played in 3 seasons of his latest contract on one badly deformed hand.

As bad as his was in 2008/2009, he has reserved some special sh*t for 2010, after getting belted by a guy who works a deep fat frier at Smorgies in another Mundine circus bout, he seems to have actually gotten worse as Rugby League player.

He can always be relied on for a game-changing mistake or penalty, and then will "make up" for it with 6 runs and 12 tackles with his fitness close to Rugby Union standards.

If he was on NRL minimum he would be grossly overpaid, but for someone on $350K+ I rate him as all time worst.

Gasnier was always an overpaid hack for my money ...and back again @ $450k per year for the next 4 years is silly money to pay for a famous surname .
If Thurston got the $700k he was chasing will run close too.
These are just very poor value players , dont know who would be the worst over 350k . Poore ? Offers little skill or impact for the $400k p/a

Not sure what Russell Richardson was on in his Souths days, but it was up there.
He was a good sock puller upper.

During Super League every first grader would have been on huge $$, even the relative spastics. The Adelaide Rams of '97 probably had a wage bill higher than the Storm do now.

Well if Justin Poore is on that much to come off the bench then he has well and truly cleaned up! Agree with most of the above. Some of these blokes are on insane money for the quality (or lack of) football they dish up. Gasnier is on huge money at 450k a year, HUGE!

Webb by a coutry mile, though I doubt he would be on 350k.

More like a 21 piece feed and a 2LT bottle of Mountain Dew.
