A player you thought was a diamond but ended up a rock

[forward pass]

I know he was never going to be a diamond - but what happened to the AFL player that Panthers signed up this season??

Doing quite well in NSW cup

Samisone Langi is another one. I thought he would make it. He seemed to play nice and direct and have a good short passing game. He reminded me a bit of Jason Smith, albeit at a lower level. Just never amounted to anything did he.

Yes. He played well for Tonga in the 2013 WC, thought he would play a lot for the Eastern Sydney Roosters.

Whatever happened to Kevin Locke? I remember everyone discussing who would be the best fullback out of Dugan, Coote and Locke back when they were in NYC.

Looks like Coote won.

There was also some Tigers player, Mullaney maybe?

Played 8 tests for new zealand and a grand final. Doesn't quite fit the OPs criteria

Karl Filiga, if no-one has mentioned it.

Touted as the next SBW, signed on with the Sharks for $600K over 3 years (big money in 2007). Played a total of 11 minutes of first grade. Then disappeared.

Got shafted from the Warriors ironically by another false Messiah, Sam Tomkins.

What was the end of this guys story? Bloke just totally vanished.

Never got out of lower grades. Sharks gave him a compassionate grounds release.

I always thought we should've just played him for a couple of games, or at least one full game, given so much was sunk into him. Its not as if we had a shite hot squad back then.

He mustve been terrible for those 11 minutes.

Was never going to be good in first grade

Michael Witt in his early days.

Never had a running game at all.

Tim Smith is still only 31. What might have been. That 2005 form was special. And so was he in a special needs kind of way.
