Why would Carl Webb say so? Seems like an odd thing for Carl Webb to say.

In all seriousness though, as shite as Webb was most of the time (the exception being 2005), he's not a patch on some of the absolute tripe that've played for my club over the years. Shannon Heggarty, Sione Faumuina, Scott Minto, Manase Manuokafoa, Antonio Kaufusi, Michael Bani....

Shudder

Hey they are no bouveng, skardon or vowels

If you say anyone other than Greg Smith you aren't knowledgeable about Rugby League whatsoever. He wins hands down no comparison, the man lied about being an NFL star to play in the ARL.

Roosters have had some absolute shockers in recent years (either terrible players, or simply nuffies):

Gavin Lester
Steve Crouch
George Rose*
Luke Dorn
Brett Firman - absolute flop of a signing in the post-Fittler era
Ben Hannant*
Adam Schubert
Michael Lett
Mark Edmondson - rubbish Pommie prop, softest runs I have ever seen
Glenn Hall*
Vince Mellars
Steve Meredith
Lafi Manua - I recall he was some ex-convict, only played the first 10 minutes of his few games and then sat on the bench
Shaun Foley
Josh Lewis - much like Firman, lauded at a savior but crumbled under pressure
Chris Beattie - horrible, old, past it, a Chris Anderson project
Willie Brown - fat bopper from JB Cup, a Chris Anderson project
John Williams*
Danny Williams
Brent Grose
Sean Rudder
Ben Jones - talked up but did nothing
Sonny Tuigamala - speedy Panthers NYC winger who couldn't catch
Sisa Waqa*
Rohan Ahern
Jordan Tansey - hopeless Pommie who couldn't do anything
Nick Kouparitsas - bog average, slow, no skills whatsoever
Stanley Waqa
Ray Moujalli
Sandor Earl*
Iwi Hauraki
Khalid Deeb
Daniel Fepuleai
Sam Brunton
Jason Baitieri*
Jono Ford
Mark Riddell - fat, slow, past it and contributed nothing
Steve Naughton
Willie Mataka
Rhys Pritchard
Francis Vaiotu
Mark Kheirallah
Peni Tagive - always looked ridiculously tentative
Adam Henry
Justin Carney - never found his speed after his leg injury

*players who improved later on at other clubs

And even some who didn't even crack first grade (see Anthony Watts, Albert Hopoate, Tevita Folau, Josh Ailaomai).

not long until panthers fans come in here and whinge about Purtell

Purtell was a nuffie but i always thought he played with plenty of heart, atleast at the Raiders.

Brett Kelly was worse, seemed to always make a mistake at the most critical times in games.
