Biggest waste of talent ever

[Green Machine]

Barney Haslett

 

[Shire Panther]

Craig Trindall,
The guy has amazing skills he could do anything, Its a shame he couldnt behave himself he dominated every age growing up including Jim Beam/ Bundy and Premier League Played a few 1st grade games for Penrith and kicked the winning field goal against the Cowboys then signed with Canterbury and got himself into more trouble.
Such a waste of talent

 

[Frederick]

Franze went pretty damn well when he was playing reserve grade for the Knights a few years back...would've loved to have seen him get a look in in FG

 

[slammingsam]

Buddy Gordon was almost a wasted case.
Luckily he has turned it around.

He was a monster in all junior grades.
It was a shame he was dropped and he put on weight etc..

 

[Hindyscrack]

Matt Gafa - Superstar in PL, they guy had it all, speed, power, nice footwork, good fend, solid defender, ball skills and amazing kicking %, not sure what happened in FG
.

First grade aint premier league, thats what happened.

 

[Alex28]

Craigie has to be the standout. He actually had the choice of being a sprinter or a League player when he was young - he was sub-11 seconds for 100 metres at the age of 16. Obviously no McDonalds in Tingha. The guy had so much talent it is just silly. Yes he won a premiership, and yes he played 150-odd games, but half of those games were absolute rubbish. It is just stupid this guy isn't still playing football.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Clinton Toopi-on his day he could tear any side to shreads, but he was an absolute bonehead and kept coming up with stupid plays.

Might not be the bioggest waste ever, but Brett Mullins.

About as good as Billy Slater at the back.

Made it all the way and then pissed it all away.

Yeah he did.

 

[MacDougall]

Definitely not in the league of the others mentioned but Ben Te'o has everything a footy player needs but he's going nowhere fast.

 

[Fein]

Roy Bell

lol what happened to him?

He's still playing - for Northern United in the Northern Rivers comp.

Daine Laurie used to play for them as well.

 

[Helen]

Adam Ritson.

Career cut short due to brain cyst.

He copped a head high tackle. Was sent for precautionary scans when the cyst was found. Went down hill from that point on.
