The dud

[Iafeta]

Here's a Raiders team to strike fear into the heart of every fan (Raiders fan, that is)

1. Graham Appo
2. Greg Wolfgramm
3. Jason Bulgarelli
4. Anthony Swann
5. Brett Kelly
6. Brett Finch
7. Trevor Schodel
8. Bruce Mamando
9. Craig Dimond
10. Anthony Brann
11. David Westley
12. Justin Morgan
13. Tyran Smith

14. David Atkins
15. Darren Mapp
16. Shane Kelly
17. Brett Boyd

That is very ordinary.

However, I see your team, and raise you with this...

1 Carl Doherty
2 Paul Staladi
3 Marc Ellis - a bloke who scored 6 tries in a union test match one day, whose best memories in league are fronting TAB Sports Cafe and doing Just Juice ads with Ridgey and running across field over the sideline when in trouble
4 Kevin Iro - Kiwi superstar, Warriors shocker
5 Scott Pethybridge
6 Shane Endacott
7 Grant Rovelli - Neil Henry's biggest blunder
8 Gavin Hill
9 Paul Dezolt
10 Andy Platt (we traded for this retiree Henry and Robbie Paul)
11 Matt Jobson - perhaps the weakest forward of all time, from memory we sold off an in form Logan Swann for this bloke
12 Tyran "Can't catch" Smith
13 Mark Carter - fringe All Black, dusty Warrior

Interchange

Grant "Woops, dropped it again fellas" Young
Scott Coxon
Matt Spence
Tony Martin - had been playing stellar footy for London Broncos, and was a premiership winner with Melbourne, came to us saying he was here to play Origin, and besides being injured all time had the speed of a mudcrab and strength of a straw of hay

There has been others, like Ryan Shortland who looked a good player till we realised his knee was so bung that he could barely run across field to make a tackle....

 

[>zuzu<]

Almost forgot bout this bloke

Joe Williams

They are great teams but the cowboys team of duds have this hands down

1 Johnathon 'the whelsh wizard' Davies
2 Noa Nadruku - was well past it and came to us after beating his wife when sh*tfaced in Canberra
3 Geoff Bell - weakest defender ever
4 Scott 'nospam29 ' Wilson
5 Scott Mahon
6 Dale Shearer - was well over the hill
7 Laurie ' i sound geniused on the radio ' Spina/Jason Martin/Paul Green - came on big money and left us worse off
8 John Lomax - was constantly injured
9 Dean Schifiliti/Jason Death/Steve Walters
10 Jason Hetherington - see john Lomax
11 Willie Morganson - was lured to us from the broncos and was just sh*t
12 Paul McNicholas - came from the bunnies and was too tall to make an impact
13 Ian Russell

14 Tyran Smith played a handful of games and pissed off to the raiders
15 Martin Bella pissed off to the gold coast after punching out the reserves coach
16 Noel Goldthorpe
17 Adrian Vowels played one origin becasue his club coach was the origin coach. Left us and was UK's man of steel for a season or two.

The Raiders have a habit of unearthing the odd absolute bludger of a player.

schiff was one of the biggest dud signings ever came from souths and was talking up how proud he was to play for his home region, played a handful of half arsed matches retired with a sore back only to surface at parra a year or two later

 

[Achillies]

.

As a Steeler fan

Pitsburgh or that Korean soccer mob?

 

[nqcowboy87]

im not sure if its been mentioned before, but surely deveres signature for the 09 season was a complete waste of time. went through all that trouble of sorting him out under the cap and he plays 30 minutes of half arsed footy and retires.

 

[Tom Shines]

Shannon Hegarty and Chris Walker have the distinction of being dud signing for two or three clubs...

 

[t1tan]

Agreed. Craig Frawley was the worst considering the coin he was paid. Never seen a player look so uninterested on the football field. He may aswell been in a coma.

Not suprising,considering he came from Brisbane..was probably in a cold induced coma.

 

[t1tan]

Shannon Hegarty and Chris Walker have the distinction of being dud signing for two or three clubs...

Nothing like signing with the roosters to kill a players footballing ability:
Chris Walker
Justin Hodges
Mark Omeley
Nate Myles

 

[Bazal]

Jeez...dud signings? Where do I start?

Adam Dykes
Andrew MacFadden
Paul Green
Wise Kativerata
Kylie Leuluai
Ian Henderson (good player...NFI why we signed him, however. Played all of 7 seconds for us)
Chris Thorman
Steve Crouch
Corey Pearson
Peter Lewis
Brett Finch
Ben Kusto
Shayne Dunley
Willie Leyshon
Aaron Cannings
Shane Muspratt
Chris Muckert
Mal Kaufusi

Off the top of my head...

 

[nqcowboy87]

THORMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
now that was a waste, solid esl first grader could not make his mark with a struggling eels team

 

[Phillips]

Off the top of my head...

Thorman was never used properly

Muckert looked alright in the few games of first grade he played but wasnt gonna get a look infront of Daniel Wagon.

Dunley was alright.. almost won us a game against brisbane i think

Leuluai didnt get many games, but atleast he could put on a hit unlike our other forwards we had at the time

 

[proto]

was Thorman the young pommy half?

i thought he showed something, much better then fkn Dykes

 

[nqcowboy87]

Shannon Hegarty and Chris Walker have the distinction of being dud signing for two or three clubs...

same with brett firman-roosters, cowboys and panthers

 

[Corbin]

Chris Thorman was never really given a fair go and unfairly blamed by Brian Smith when he is really a 5/8. Great ESL player and should of played for England well and truly by now.

 

[Iafeta]

Can we add Steve Lyons to the list?

 

[kia ora storm]

Shannon Hegarty - every club he has played for.

Nigel Vagana - when he played for Souths. Was good at Cronulla.

Grant Rovelli - all clubs he has played for.

 

[adamkungl]

Nothing like signing with the roosters to kill a players footballing ability:
Chris Walker
Justin Hodges
Mark Omeley
Nate Myles

:roll:

Walker - has tryscoring ability but is useless in defence and generally a liability
Hodges - played for Australia in his first few years at the Roosters, only had one poor year
O'Meley - was on the way down in his last year at the Dogs...has probably improved since then
Myles - is still an Origin player. You're clueless.
