If there is someone worse I'd like to see them named. Ben Pomeroy maybe? He's terrible and makes footy players look over paid no matter what he's on.

I like him. He provides tremendous comedic value, and that is often underestimated on the footy field.

I would also like to see this player named...it's why I initiated this thread. Re: comedic value, tell Marc Maron to interview him please

Purts is the key indicator on wether the NRL should expand or not.

He is on fire which shows that the talent depth is rich in purrrty goodness.

jordan rankin had a shocker last night, tony williams is all size no skill, difference with purtell is he scores points, like vatuvei, sometimes has a shocker with mistakes but regularly finds the line

Purtell tries hard and often finds himself in the right position to score a try off other peoples hard work. But he really doesn't offer much more then that. Any winger who is willing to support would score the same tries.

He would probably be good to have around for depth only. The trouble is that both Panthers coaches picked him ahead of better players and refused to drop him regardless of how badly he played. Meanwhile other players are dropped for games which were better then what he was showing. That's what bothers me most about him being at the Panthers... the fact that he holds better players back.

But honestly I think it's just dumbass coaches. Steve Georgallis initially selected Shane Elford to replace Michael Jennings on the weekend. He had played about 2 or 3 games for Windsor all year, wasn't close to match fit and is likely to retire at the end of the year. He then did his hammy at training and was replaced with a player who should have been ahead of him anyway.

We've had some of the worst outside backs to ever lace a boot

Purtell is a champion bloke, one of the real nice guys of RL. Loves a drinks, loves to have fun but always shows up to training, looks after himself for his club and has good mannered fun.

Champion bloke
but in great company for some of the worst backs to lace a boot in the lime green.
