Players who could have been

[betcats]

Tariq Sims was looking like something speciall before he did his leg twice.

 

[Meth]

Sonny Fai is the most obvious to me.

Yow Yeh. His career couldn't have got off to a better start and it ended so abruptly and grotesquely. His attempt at a comeback was admirable, but I think we all knew it was going to be a tough ask.

Tuiaki. A very entertaining player and hard to dislike. A real shame what happened to him.

Wade McKinnon. Injury lead to the loss of a crucial yard or two of pace. Prior to that, he was explosive.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Karlos falinga would be an honerable mention

 

[POPEYE]

Yeah but Mini has the advantage of not being a piece of shit who purposely kicks people

Five Star thread here mate . . . plenty of room for f**kwits elsewhere

 

[macnaz]

Simon Dwyer
Benji Marshall
Jharal Yow Yeh
Chris Lawrence

Add Daine Laurie and Mark Stimpson to that list.

He's shown some good signs again this year I reckon. Hopefully he can still fulfill his massive potential

Cameron Smith. If he was not a cheating, lying, deceitful merkin he could have been a great player.

Wade McKinnon. Injury lead to the loss of a crucial yard or two of pace. Prior to that, he was explosive.

Forgot about wade, few people remember he held the record for metres gained in a single game for some time. One of those guys that doesn't look like much physique wise but when he's on was bloody hard to tackle.

 

[T.S Quint]

Wade McKinnon was a very good player. Loved him when he was at the Eels.
I think he probably did fulfill his potential though. He played plenty of First Grade, most of it at a decent level.

 

[Captain Apollo]

I remember he was captain of the Roosters first grade team yet not allowed to enter the Easts Leagues Club because his hair was too long.

Nope. He was not the Roosters captain. For most of his career at the Roosters, Arthur Beetson was the captain.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Nope. He was not the Roosters captain. For most of his career at the Roosters, Arthur Beetson was the captain.

That's right Captain but The Frog was right in that Easts Leagues had a policy that hair length couldn't pass below the collar of your shirt. Fairfax couldn't get into the club even when they won the grand final!

 

[POPEYE]

Cameron Smith. If he was not a cheating, lying, deceitful merkin he could have been a great player.

Five star threads need to have minimum age restrictions

 

[kia ora storm]

Matt Rua...retired too early.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Matt Rua...retired too early.

Could hit like a hammer

wasn't he playing for central comets for awhile before the club got canned?

 

[TheFrog]

Nope. He was not the Roosters captain. For most of his career at the Roosters, Arthur Beetson was the captain.

Maybe the big fella was out injured...I remember a news story to this effect.

You should return to that stupid thread where you post your weekly incoherent rambles.

Distasteful, wrong or pisstaking to normal people perhaps . . . incoherent to an imbecile definitely

 

[Ulysseus]

I imagine that policy has been thrown out?
In any case what a dumb arse policy to have to begin with.

You had to be there in the time warp, 'establishment vs the hippie' syndrome all over the world
