Cursed players

[ST Tangles 01]

Brett Papworth. Poor bloke had a body made from crepe paper.

Blokes an arsehole so I'm glad he was cursed

 

[ST Tangles 01]

Chase Stanley

Both Stanley's

That’s a bit rough but I respect that you may have your reasons.

I do but I will leave it at that

Yow yeh and simon dwyer wpuld have had good rep careers

There was also that other Tigers winger with a similar injury as Yow Yeh. Tuiaki or similar name.

 

[One Warrior]

Ben Henry and Nate Roache, Ben retired at 24 I think because of constant injuries. Nate Roache too is
seemingly cursed poor guy, can't stay on the paddock for more than a couple of games at a time and now has another serious injury after being out all last year, unfortunately I can also see him succumbing to
an injury enforced retirement.

 

[Danish]

Anthony Cherrington suffered back to back ACL ruptures in the 2010 and 2011 preseasons which basically ended his NRL career.

Some might call them karma given his off field incidents.

Souths threw him a lifeline for some reason in 2017, but he didn’t do much

I remember Kyle Stanley in the clear with nobody in front of him one game and he burst in to flames... Was pretty random....poor bloke

Yeah Taniela Tuiaki. Broke his ankle at the SFS the night Eels played Tigers during that late 09 season run. Was a cracking game of footy, Benji threw a magic behind the back pass to put his winger over, Hayne did that chip and chase where the ball bounced sideways back in to his hands to score.... Poor Taniela's career ending injury is overlooked from what happened that night.

 

[carcharias]

Any player that leaves the sharks.

 

[Vee]

From the 80s, David Woods. After Parra's golden era, every kid that showed anything was the next big thing. He was the only one that could have stood alongside Kenny, Ella etc but injuries never gave him a chance.

 

[RedVDave]

I thought Mathew Head was going to be our halfback for the next 10 seasons, unfortunately his knees kept giving out on him.

I remember in a game against the Wests Tigers he dropped the ball cold over the try line rumour has it his knees were so bad he couldn't reach all the way down to score the try.

 

[Apey]

Ponga for playing at Newcastle.

 

[horrie hastings]

Brett Papworth. Poor bloke had a body made from crepe paper.

Was down at the Gong when he decided to tackle Rod Wishart's knee, ouch his jaw was a mess after that .Poor guy, he had a great step but not a body that could hold up to the rigours of rugby league.

 

[T.S Quint]

Adam Ritson.

 

[OzDragon]

Kyle Stanley coined the term.


Iirc he even did his knee in slipping in a puddle on the way to training

 

[T.S Quint]

But yeah, Kyle Stanley pretty much sums up the thread title.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Will Zillman was a shadow of the player he should have been after a couple of serious leg injuries early in his career. Lost all his speed and agility.

TLL is the most frequently injured player I ever saw . Should have been a staple rep player his whole career.

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Gee Joey mustve been necking the pingaz hardcore to end up with a bulging disc

Oh dear...

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Ah. I meant Kyle Stanley.

Ha ha you f**king clown.
