Consistently worst current regular NRL top grade player

Adrian Purtell and Brad Tighe make a ridiculously bad centre/wing combination.

The Knights powderpuff bookends Daniel Tolar and Antonio Kaufusi are pretty average. Throw Jaiman Lowe and Matthew Bell in there as pillows. Josh Cordona, Shannon McPherson, Dave Tyrrell, Taulima Tautai, Cameron Ciraldo, Jon Green, Todd Payten, Scott Anderson, Mitchell Dodds, Dane Carlaw, Jeremy Latimore are all pretty poor forwards too - Adam Cuthbertson, Corey Payne and Ashton Sims were perennially poor players who have been quite good this year.

hey - no question he had a good game there.

He's also had plenty of very poor games with zero impact in my eyes.

I think his efforts in Origin are clouding your judgment.

He's been lacking some impact in the last year or two for sure, but he's still alot better than plodders like Dan Tolar, Cameron Ciraldo, Tim Robinson, Shannan McPherson, Billy Rogers and co.

Back on topic, is Shannan McPherson really playing in the front row this weekend? Are there two Shannan McPherson's?

I disagree. Those two punch above their weight and are consistently solid.

Forgot about big georgie rose
still he's on their bench every week, he's fair dinkum hopeless, surely they have another front rower better than him, surely?!

All three mentioned front rowers have been great over the years. Which of the Raiders props have led them to a premiership in recent history?

Gee you're a sensitive sally. Firstly i didnt say a bad word against the other three mentioned front rowers.
secondly Im not sure what relevance that question has on the fact Vic Mauro is imo the worst regular FGer in the competition. He's hopeless.

Alan Tongue over the past few years.
Despite the fact that a bunch of downies from Canberra think he is a champ, he would not get a run at any other NRL club other than LOL@50uff$.
Special mention to Antonio "Pillow" Kaufusi, Anthony Quinn, David Simmons, Steve Michaels, Bryce Gibbs and Joel Reddy.

Copley is still on track to be a very good first grade centre, IMO.

Some of the names here are very harsh, a lot of kids mentioned who just haven't found their feet in first grade yet.

Some people were saying Josh Hoffman had nothing before last year.

Grant Rovelli and Shannon Hegarty, it's still hard to talk about.
Re Copley, remember how awful Hoffman was in the early stages of first grade?
