Biggest waste of talent ever

[dogz08]

can't believe no one has mentioned Joel Reddy yet. he is an absolute myth.

Why do you hate Joel Reddy so much?

Justin Hodges??

Sorry thought this was a "Biggest Waste of Space" thread.

Phil Adamson is one, the better Adamson going through the grades but never translated it to the footy field.

Owen Craigie stands out as well, such a naturally gifted player who burst onto the scene, Souths have a similar talent now in Matt Mundine who could go the same way.

One other one that came through in that successful undefeated Roosters Flegg side of 2003 and played with the Raiders eventually is Jermaine Ale. Now he could have been anything, but ended up a flop. Played Aus Schoolboys and everything

Another one who reached the top then crumbled was Russell Richardson. He was a very good centre on the rise then plummeted out into oblivion.

yeh richardson burst onto the scene with the sharks played for australia and then faded out after stints at newcastle and souths

 

[nqcowboy87]

Hasn't played much FG (if any) but Peewee Moke?

Played at a number of clubs, had big wraps on him but could never make grade.

yeh he was a good player, one of the roosters best in the 2004 jf gf, but didnt quite kick on, was part of the premierswhip winning bankstown bulls side in the nsw cup, even gus commented on him saying he was a good player but hasnt managed to crack first grade. i mean but hope isnt up for him, look at jeff robson and ryan tandy those two players before this yeaqr where plugging away in reggies but ended up in a first grade gf

Richie Williams from a few years ag. Played with Souths, St George and Penrith. The kid had real potential, just couldn't keep his mouth shut or control himself off the field.

Nathan "Tingha" Blacklock

Top try scorer for three consecutive seasons.

Never played a State of Origin game.

Wasted talent right there.

Yep would have loved to have seen him match up in an origin match against Tuqiri or Sailor :sarcasm:

 

[dragon_around]

So you were pleased NSW selected Adam MacDougall and Jamie Ainscough only to go 40-14 in 2001 because they had "good defence" ?

:lol:

 

[typicalfan]

and they are both triple the size of Blacklock lol.

nope, richie, the one who mouthed off at anasta on his debut... talented player but a f**kwit of the highest proportions

 

[ShaiGuY]

Richard Villisanti? any team which had him got him for a steal.

 

[Moffo]

i hope corey paterson doesn't turn into one of these players

 

[owend21]

Adrian Brunker

 

[Boganater]

Brett Mullins -should have been the best Fullback of all time.In 94'/95' absolutely untouchable, got injured was never really the same again.
Ken Nagas -Graceful, speed to burn bad injuries stuffed him.
Julian O'Neill- miles of talent, but an absolute tool.

nah richie williams debut was against the titans nearly won st the game too, a couple of games in said anasta was overated, anasta showed him up was trasnferred to penrith played one or two games and then went and played in the shute shield i think

Jermaine Ale. Man I was excited when we won the bidding war for that guy. He was going to be the next immortal.

Then after annhailating all and sundry in lower grades just fizzled out into nothing...

Think he's running around in the Newcastle comp. now.

Im sure Saints did win that game. That was the Titans first ever NRL match wasnt it?
