Players who never reached their potential

[Brimmer]

I'm curious to know who you all think were/are players that haven't lived up to their reputations?

 

[meatloaf]

William Zilliman

 

[boxhead]

Daniel Mortimer.

Wait, are we talking about hype or potential?

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

Not souffs players... they never had potential

 

[Brimmer]

Let's keep it broad. Just have a crack...

I was going to say the zillman or as rabs would say... "the zyip zyip myan" myself.

To be fair, he's had 2 knee reco's but he was touted as a future fullback for Australia.

 

[taxidriver]

Damien Chapman
Ben Kusto
Matt Head
Brett Firman
Damien Bower

Tim Smith is obvious for Parra fans.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Any player that has so far been labelled as the next $BW. There's been a few of them.

 

[Brimmer]

Jermaine Ale

 

[Timbo]

Matt Head and Brett Firman are two that always stand out to me.

Jermaine Ale was another big one.

 

[Brimmer]

Who was that sharks prop that was touted as the NBT but had a brain tumour or something? Blonde headed fella...?

Which reminds me, Mark Tookey...

 

[Ausguy]

Darren Lockyer

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Mateo. Probably because he's a fat lazy sh*t, but alot of potential.

 

[Firey_Dragon]

Royston Lightning... Seriously with a name like that, how could he fail?

 

[dogslife]

Garrick Morgan

 

[Brimmer]

Matt Rua.... Damn that boy could put on a hit.

 

[Brimmer]

Leon Bott

 

[Deadly]

Who was that sharks prop that was touted as the NBT but had a brain tumour or something? Blonde headed fella...?

Which reminds me, Mark Tookey...

Adam Ritson

 

[The Teach]

Who was that sharks prop that was touted as the NBT but had a brain tumour or something? Blonde headed fella...?

Adam Ritson is the kid you're referring to

I'll throw another name in - PeeWee Moke...Tonne of potential but injuries cruelled his career.

Any 5/8 that played next to thurston at cowboys.
