Most hyped youngster that went nowhere?

[gordsy]

From memory he went from dogs to storm to us to NQ in the space of about 18 months. Sacked everytime. He made a comeback in nsw cup about 4 or 5 years ago for a sydney club, can’t remember who.

When he was with us Robbie Farah said he had the best running game he’d ever seen. Talent was there, just one of the loosest cannons off the field.

Heard he and McKendry got into trouble and one had to take the wrap so he got the boot and McKendry stayed on.
Some of the names here are a bit hardsh. Hoppa had a long career and wasn't a dud by any means.
Joel Romello is a woman bashing piece of shit and hopefully gets locked up again. it's where he belongs in my view.
Wes Patten was a dickhead as well.

Not a dud but I think Pat Richards would have been a gun if he didn't go super league. The clip of him throwing Matt Cooper into touch with one arm in the grand final qualifiers throwing was amazing.
Chris Lawrence was another who didn't get to reach his full potential. He was never the same after his hip injury.

I was convinced Lino was going to be a superstar watching him in the lower grades

Played a bit a Newcastle I think then went nowhere

Wayne Ulugia
Chris Grevsmuhl

Just couldn’t contain themselves off the paddock

Richie Williams was the best junior I've ever seen play in the lower grades for Souths. Shame he was a massive tool bag.

Not a coincidence.

Pretty sure all but Fishi are are running around in the UK, albeit some in 2nd tier UK Footy
Damien Mostyn had talent but got done for selling drugs from memory and no first grade team would be interested after that.
Pretty sure the Tigers had a guy playing for them and Alan Jones got him a job to help him out with money issues. All he had to do was turn up to the interview. The dopey prick ending up going to play golf with a mate instead and got blackballed from the nrl after that.

The Panthers were going to have a dynasty with Blake, Moylan, DWZ, Cartwright, RCG, CHN, Egan, etc, who was that other shit prop they ended up shipping to the GC?

Latu. He was looking the goods, but disappeared up his own arse at the Titans.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Didn’t the Panthers have a kid are kind 6-7 years back who got signed to some crazy schoolboy contract at age 16 then never played a game in first grade. It have likely been during the Elliott years as head coach.

 

[Sphagnum]

I know a super young half named Jakob, I wish he would go somewhere. And when he gets his licence he can take his dad as well.

Balder than all the coaching staff put together

Iosia Soliola was called the next SBW by none other than Warren Smith.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

There was a gun Warriors backrower about a decade ago that was really making waves. Can’t remember his name though.

he obviously wasn’t SBW level player but he doesn’t belong in this thread

He had an extremely long and successful career. 300+ first grade games, 15+ years as a professional player, succeed in completely differently roles and eras, multiple time premiership winner
