The Dud 13

[macavity]

Seeing Jenkins run around for Penrith tonight got my group chat talking about highly touted players we have signed over the years who came here and … really sucked. I’m not talking about played in a bad team, or still chugged out a few full seasons, or were nobodies before and after. I’m talking we were mildly excited or intrigued at the signing, and they just stunk it ip

could make a fair Real NRL team from them. I say fair as they still wouldn’t beat the Pickers.

I will start:

1. Lachie Miller
2. Tom Jenkins
3. Russell Richardson

6. Will Pryce (too soon?)
7. Beau Henry

9. Lee Jackson

tempted to add Kirk Reynoldson but he actually played ok, just was injured a lot and we were comparing him to BK.

5. Greg Smith

Siuatonga Likiliki might get a run in the centres.

I feel like that pommy Wardle had some hype about him. Throw him in the centres or back row.

He barely makes the bench of this team.

4. Joey Leilua

I kinda liked him lol. At least initially.

At one point I reckon he and Gagai were one of the best centre pairings in the game.

Tuimavave has to get a run.

Evarn or Carlos? Both are probably a sniff to be fair.

 

[Burwood]

Clifford and Milford in the halves.
Steve Southern and Kyle O’Donnell backrow.
Ramien centres.
Russell Packer front row.

Evarn the pick for me. Had a few good years at the wahs and then two horrible seasons under stone.

Steve Southern and Kyle O’Donnell backrow.
Ramien centres.
Russell Packer front row.

These are all excellent shouts.

Agreed. Does it count if he goes from a damaging centre to a completely lazy dud?

 

[Woody90]

Sims bro, especially Tariq.

 

[Haffa]

Mad Pup gets a wing spot probably keeps Jenkins out of the team.

 

[Burwood]

Jed Cartwright.
MacDougall brothers.
Mitchell Sergeant.
Jack Stockwell.

Why stop at only 13. Could name a full 30 player squad.

 

[Burwood]

Seem to be quite a number of players with a famous surname who never lived up to the hope/potential.

Honestly, I couldn’t be the only fan who saw Jack Johns in the squad and deep down hope that he took after his uncle.
