50 worst buys in NRL history

[Gina Minehart]

You'll be adding Hodko to that list next year hehe

 

[Charlie124]

Juniorburger played for the Cowgirls? When? Are you sure you don't mean Shannan Gallant (Mighty Mouse?)

Ahh yes, it was Gallant. I've always confused those two.

manese manuokafoa

Could throw weights around in the gym with ease but an absolute powder puff. Similar to carl webb but you'd actually notice webb on the field (albeit after a stupid offload that led to a turnover or a penalty within the first set of him coming on the field) but with manese you did not notice him at all. Brett firman bent the line back more then him

Good lord i forgot about this clown until now, absolute plodder.

Gareth widdop. He's worse than aids and ebola if they got married and had a baby.

 

[stormbati]

Sam Tomkin's was average but he's not even top 50.

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

Brett White for the Raiders was and is still a good signing. Matt Rua takes the cake, signs then retirea in the preseason.

 

[beave]

Johnathan Davies.

Was supposed to be our marquee player as well the prick.

 

[natheel]

If Barba is the 5th worst buy when he came to us, what does that make of his time at the Sharks?

Better than his time at Broncos?

 

[natheel]

Sam Tomkin's was average but he's not even top 50.

Agree. Just another way for NRL writers to bash the quality of super league players

 

[axl rose]

Bellamy showing the next Ben Kennedy the exit to the Knights. What a player.

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

Watmough makes that list if he has another season like this year.
Big Dave Taylor should be there as suggested.

Sam Tomkins wasn't the worst!

 

[TheVelourFog]

Ahh yes, it was Gallant. I've always confused those two.

both the Shannons played for the Cowboys

Matt Orford on massive coin to the Raiders was BAD

 

[Ibleedblue]

Stunned that Karl Filiga isn't in that list. He was pumped up as being the next SBW as a junior, the Sharks paid massive overs for him on a 3 year deal and he ended up only playing 11 minutes before fading into obscurity and hasn't been sighted since.

Great call.

If Tomkins was an Australian bought from another NRL club, he wouldn't be #1.

Sam Tomkin's was average but he's not even top 50.

Yep - he was a bog average NRL fullback - but was supposed to be Slater-esque

For the coin he was on, a huge disappointment - but added value on and off the field, not a cancerous prick like the fullback that he replaced... and now we have RTS, so nothing lost, step forward from Locke, and now we have someone who's looking like he'll develop into something special (hopefully before he swaps to union)

 

[Haffa]

Needs more Joel Edwards to Canberra

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

id like to nominate Matt Johns.

1 season. reasonable performances at 5/8. gets hurt in semis.
7 years later costs the club 3 million in sponsorship

thanks Matt

Needs more Joel Edwards to Canberra

That bloke isn't even NRL quality

Carl Webb to the eels

Ahh yes, Mr. "training the house down" himself.
