The wasted talent team of the last 5 years

[firechild]

I have no doubt he could lose a bit of weight. But considering the amount of exercise he does, it is possible that he is unable to lose that weight. Des was known to be one of the toughest coaches with respect to fitness yet George wasn't dropping kgs. He plays around 45min a game and you rarely see him hanging out of the play trying to get his breath back so it is quite possible that he would be no better if he was 10kg lighter.

Antonio Kaufusi - aus and qld rep to complete rubbish (a broken patella probably didn't help)

 

[MuTT]

Arana Taumata is a must inclusion for this team i think ,quite a talented kid but man he could throw away an opportunity .

 

[Bluebags1908]

Daine Laurie has to be in that team somewhere.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Michael Sullivan.

Bit harsh on zillman, he came back from 2 knee reconstructions I think. Though zillmans biggest Problem i felt was that hes always struggled to get involved in matches.

 

[Murf]

This list lacks Eric Grothe Junior.
Though he was still immense in many games and played quite a few Origin games, you can tell he had oh so much more potential than even the high standard he displayed.

This. Could've been one of the all time greats if he had given a shit. Footy always took a backseat to his guitar but. Imagine if he had actually been passionate about the game and put in the hard yards. I always had the impression that he just used League as a way to pay the bills.

 

[eozsmiles]

Is Frank Pritchard too good for this list? Could win a game by himself when he wants too. Rarely wants too it seems.

mateo and pritchard are in the same league of inconsistaent game breakers

 

[Proud2BeCanberran]

Michael Dobson.

nailed it...


on it's day, that team could whip the QLD state of origin team by 40 points...


off it's day, that team would get beaten by souffs...

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Was about to say motu tony when he signed for the broncos only to have Karmichael own the fullback spot but thats more then 5 years ago isn't it?

 

[joshie]

Leon Bott, does he get a mention in these sides?

 

[MuTT]

Leon Bott, does he get a mention in these sides?

I didn't think he was all that great in the first place but he had speed , lots of speed

 

[joshie]

Yeah i remember his speed as being the best thing about his game, I always thought he had potential, but he just kind of fizzled.

That team would be unbeatable on it's day. A fair few of them there that arern't lost causes though, Mateo came close to consistency last year, and Inu, Taylor, Pritchard could all still do it. A few of the others are lost causes though.
