Coodabeen Champions

I was reading about Beau Henry playing for the Wentworthville Magpies. I remember he was an absolute gun in the NYC but never managed f**k all in the NRL. It must be embarrassing for him to watch so many of his peers from the youth comp playing in the NRL. It got me curious about other players who were talked up a lot but never managed shit. Or NRL players that had the talent but went by the wayside because of injury (like Yow Yeh), discipline issues, apathy etc. Anybody have any examples?

Kinds regards,

Ali Lauitiiti was supposed to be the Jordan of league and make no mistake he's obviously a good player who's still playing superleague at the age of 56. But I reckon he should have stayed and built the Warriors around him and become their greatest ever player

Too many to list them all, should be narrowed down to one player per poster
Mine is Anthony Mundine, be interesting to see how his career would of turned out if he wasn't such a Wanker with a chip on his shoulder. Maybe if he had better influences and a maybe a coach that could positively influence him Maybe he would of turned into one of the greats ( he had the talent to ), instead of being remembered as a hated loud mouth who beats up bums

Arauna Taumata ... I forgot about him. Apparently he was sacked this year from the captain-coach gig at Tumut for breaching a 3 strikes policy.http://www.dailyadvertiser.com.au/story/3171239/tumut-splits-with-arana-taumata/?cs=149

I wonder where this goose will turn up next.

Just signed with Newtown so he could pop up at the Sharks if injuries hit them

Haha shit I just saw that on his twitter. https://twitter.com/ajtaumata
His devotion to healthy eating is nice. Nothing like a few zannies and a salad to relax you.

A recent one; Jacob Loko. Multiple injuries have played a big role in the downfall of his career which have led to other problems which everyone knows about. I truly believe if he had his head in the right place and had some better luck, he would be playing rep footy about now.

He won't last the off season. Just ask the tigers. Or the storm. Perhaps the dogs or panthers? The cowboys? Tumut? And so on....

I just love that Tumut had 3 strikes policy and he f**ked that up too.

Luke Capewell guns it in ISC but never really cracked it in NRL.
