How? Who'd have played for?

He's talking about it when Kemp left the Broncos for the Warriors. Kemp had a good run with Brisbane in his first tenure. After the move he was dropped from the Warriors to reserve grade, and his confidence was never the same again after the failed stint.

Fair enough.

I saw him a few times playing Shute Shield. I always wondered why he went down hill. Like Leon Bott.

Most Storm players seem to go backwards after leaving. And deadset average players look good after a while there.

I'd say Dane Nielsen, but he was just deadset hopeless and I don't even Bellamy could help him. He was lazy, plod like speed, and had no ability.

I put Nielsen in the top 3 Warrior dud signings of all time with Matt Jobson (that one always brings the lols) and Denan Kemp.

Matt Jobson. FMD there has to be a thread for obscure plodders of years past. That would bring back the laughs.

Jamal Idris
Ben Barba
Jarryd Hayne
Trent Hodkinson

Good list. Barba and Idris definitely have never really been the same since they left Bulldogs. Hodkinson hasn't either but apparently the Bulldogs knew his knee was dodgy and its why they never re-signed him. So Hodkinson injury may give him a bit of an out.
