From Parramatta...
Michael Witt-Was the next Sterlo in some circles, but never had the attitude to make it. Seemed to expect to play first grade and be unwilling to earn it.
Steve Witt-I wish I knew what happened here. Steve made Michael's promise on the field look like nothing, he was brilliant through the lower grades and I believe could play everywhere from 1-7, as well as hooker, with what seemed to be consumate ease. Never got a first grade gig at Parra, then went to Newcastle and collapsed in a heap. Now sells houses.
Willie Tonga-There was an uproar when he was released, despite his defensive ineptitude and what I saw to be a bit of MIA syndrome, he was obviously talented. Showed what he could do in 2004, but since then has been on a greasy slope
Danny Sullivan-As a fan, Danny was a tragedy. The most talented forward I've seen from Parramatta since Nathan Hindmarsh, bar Feleti Mateo. But a horrific run of knee injuries ended his career at age 22 or something. I believe his knee is so bad he can't even play park footy anymore...which is a great shame as he could have been anything.
Pat Richards-Another supreme talent cruelled by injuries. It was good to see him do well in 2005, but compared to what he could have been he was a shadow of a player
Ashley Graham-Was a great lower grader and had a great debut season until he suffered that terrible broken leg. Since then he just hasn't been the same...he's been a poor lateral defender, had no confidence in running the ball and lost his pace. Seems to be getting back to some sort of form though
Justin Tsoulos-Came through as a mountain of a kid, and belted the Knights on debut, put some bellringers on guys like Shane Webcke later on...got injured and put on a lot of paunch, and since then has had very little involvement with first grade.
Matt Gruszka-A big, fast centre who never cracked first grade...got injured, went to the Cowboys I believe and is now running around in Jim Beam cup games.
Brett Anderson-Played some great cameos in first grade in 2005. Was quick and agile, and very good under the high ball. Signed with the Cowboys after several clubs chased him, then broke his leg before leaving. Re-broke the leg at NQ and has done nothing that I've seen since.
Ronald Prince-Utility back in the Luke Burt mould...could kick goals, score tries and set them up. Played some first grade games in 2003-2004 when we sucked and was consistently good for us, but when guys returned from injury he was dropped again. Went to Wests Tigers, where I can't recall him playing a first grade game, and I believe he is now in the Dragons PL or part time squad
