Russell Richardson. Represented Australia earlier in his career, then was unable to break top grade for Souths in 2003. That's understandable though, what with Lee Hookey holding down that spot.

Maybe going too far back but i recall seeing a prop called Pickering play for Canterbury a few games a few years back and looked an Absolute world beater, then fizzled out . Does anyone know what happened to him ?Injuries ?

I rated Chris Heighnington before last night, but after hearing him speak to Matty Johns in a post-match interview I have lost all respect. The guy sounds dumber than Hoppa.

I'm sure Chris is at home crying his eyes out cause you don't repect him.

Leon Bott could soon be added to the list.

The little dwarf was built up to be the next big thing but now looks to be a nuffy. Speedy like Joven, but a fumbling, bumbling dumb footballer otherwise.

Brad Meyers had two good games and was fast-tracked into the Origin and National side side for some silly reason. He was going to a gun.

Tyran Smith ended up being better player than him.

Ryles isn't the player I'd thought he'd be either. Papa Smurf would hit harder.

Reminds me of a Knights junior by the name of Trent Estatheo, he looked like a future Australian player but injuries absolutely killed him.
