Panthers Unpopularity XIII

Who was that highly rated Pommie we brought over in the Elliott era? Either back or half. Complete flop. Played a handful of games, sucked and pissed off. Not an uncommon story amongst SL players but the only one we’ve been part of in the NRL era as far as I can remember.

Michael Worrincy?

Edit: Zac Hardaker was the back.

Want to talk about hands and bombed tries? Lets recap on Waqa Blakes first two seasons haha

Hands for feet. Brendan Worth!

 

[Hooked]

That ex AFL player Gould signed a few years back. He played a bit of reserve grade on the wing? then disappeared. I can't even remember his name.

Waqa's hands helped win a grand final.

Amazing for us in the 2022 finals.

Yep Hardaker was it. Jesus he’s only 31, feels like an age ago.

Josh Hall?

Lot of good players were involved in that 2016 reserve grade team.

Zac Hardaker the so called man of steel in 2015?

 

[MrBlack]

Tony D’Arcy………
anyone old enough to remember him.
was a massive signing on great money (rugby convert) But couldn’t get out of reserve grade.

My dad mentions him quite a bit as a massive bust.

He was a tight end front rower from Union. That says it all.

Yes, I think he was South African.

Was it that long ago. Left us went back home I think he had an issue with so called recreational drugs (cocaine) played on fir a few more seasons.

Edit - it was Pieter Muller that I was thinking about. There was an ex Aussie rah rah name Peter Swanson that played for us as well as D'arcy.

As for the elders on here you can’t go past Bill Ashurst. Supremely talented, in an entirely different era but as for commitment to the cause he had nothing. As the folklore has it, punched his own team mate in a scrum ie Mick Stephenson packed his bags went home to the UK without telling anyone. Single handedly won a game against the Dragons who were a major force at the time, behind 19-0, Bill decided to turn it on we won 25-19. Scored one of the greatest tries i have ever seen with his chip and regather.

Now I think about maybe Darcy was an Australian Union prop. I don’t know. He was short and fat, which was the body shape for tight end Union props and played accordingly.

That is him.

 

[Hooked]

Since we are on ex rah rahs. Gordon Falcon.

 

[Black Magik]

Jamal "friggin" Idris!

What he could have done

What he could have done

Idris was pretty good for us when not injured.
