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

[Shaun Hewitt]

Sonny fai swam like a rock.

Very poor taste.

Greg Waddell

Terrible

Manu Vatuvei

His hands have got better, he couldn't catch at all when he first hit the scene lol

Obe gaea. Broke Matt Bowens speed time over 40m and was going to be a try scoring freak for us. Vanished off the face of the earth.

Qld cup player of the year Brent McConnell. Weighed 45kg and just wasn't up for it as a half.

Qld cup leading try scorer Donald Malone - handful of games and disappeared back to qld cup

Carl Webb started like a wrecking ball in 05 after joining us. Had one of the toughest conditioners to whack his lazy ass into shape, a senior prop in rauhihi to take him under his wing and get out of picture a bit and get on with causing havoc. Busted his jaw whilst being spoken about aus selection and then started having groin/hamstring problems that took much of the power in his runs away, hit the pies hard again and turned into a fat lazy overpaid piece of shit penalty machine with flippers for hands

I think he had a great off season and is ready to rip shit up

A crying shame all 13 of them ended up being way less impressive than we'd heard

 

[Scott]

Marc Ellis

 

[tangalife]

Kevin Locke - came on as a gun, compared to Billy Slater, load of talent.

Fisiahi if he wasn't made of glass and a bit tougher (was a bit soft).

 

[Pete Cash]

I know you are trolling jm but half those players are doing alright or where never rated.

Tll isn't even a raiders junior lol. He was in his early 20s when he signed here iirc.

I think he had a decent career though. He was costing us a lot in cap at the end for the amount he played but he played for NSW and australia. Injuries were cruel to him

 

[Tommy Smith]

Mose Masoe. Had an amazing first few games in the 2010 season at the Roosters. But turned out to be a giant lazy plodder.

I'm sure Brett Firman has also been mentioned. I thought he was going to be a star.

I just dont think that's a game Knights fans really want to play :lol:
Your own starting 13 of future superstars would be a f**king appalling pack of idiots

Matoara is one I thought was going to be shit but he might be a solid first grader.

:lol: Fair.
Seriously though, in 10 years time you could have all 3 f**king Mata'utia brothers in this side. Sione has fallen off a f**king cliff! He was absolutely disgusting last year. Havent seen a great deal of him this year, is... is he still shit?

 

[nick87]

Cam King absolutely owns this thread though. I remember people penning him into their australia side before he even made his FG debut! He's f**king dreadful

 

[Pete Cash]

Personally Dan vidot was a shit one. I thought he was going to be great. I still think he would have been a solid first grader if he had a better attitude.

The boy could work the ball out from his own end.
