Iafeta Paela'sina? Absolute wrecking ball. Ran like a man possesed and then went missing. Whatever happened to him?
Took up a big contract at Wigan after sitting behind Price and Wiki.

Roy Asotasi looked like he could have become the next big thing back in 2005-2007. Then Souths got to him and he's become complacent ever since.

He looked really promising early last year, and seemed back to his damaging best after a good off season. Shame was he lost the rest of the season to something like a wrist injury.Asotasi hasn't been the same since he came back from the season out injured, he was arguably the best prop in the game immediately prior to it.
Yes indeed, Apart from some injuries that took ages to heal he was just one relaxed mofo who didnt take things too seriously. He is the single most exciting running back I have ever seen on a footy field. He is now with the Aust 7s team and when fit will make a mark for sure.Shannon Walker anyone?
Michael Dobson.
David Taylor and Ben Teo. Yes, these guys are good, but I just feel they can be so much better.
Leon Bott, does he get a mention in these sides?

I'd bet on him to have a fantastic year this year, except I wouldn't put any bets on Asotasi lasting a season without another injury. His body has reached its limit IMO
But then again I never thought Crocker or Ben Ross would make it through another full season too, you just have to wait and see I guess.
Just because a player wins a comp doesn't mean they reach their full potential.
Pal?Hardly wasted talent pal. He plays for a world club challenge medal in just over a week
Saffy unfortunate to be in this team, though he always played pretty well for the Dragons and got the most out of himself. Just cos he went to Union doesnt mean he's wasted so much, just playing a different code.1. Jarrod Sammut

Thought Dave Taylor was playing great football last season, especially the second half of the season, doing hit ups in the middle before going out wide.1. Milton Thaiday

Thought Roy was good when he first went to Souths then did his knee in I think 09? A reco can take two years to really hit full stride after and that seemed to be the case with Asotasi, poor in 2010 but was playing some of his best footy against last season before the wrist injury.Roy Asotasi looked like he could have become the next big thing back in 2005-2007. Then Souths got to him and he's become complacent ever since.
