[simon says]

Alan Jones

Just the mention of his name makes me shiver.Took a good team and left us in tatters.........split right down the middle.

Ouch.

 

[The Engineers Room]

Nate Turner for Parramatta.

How'd Frano Botica go in rugby league?

 

[Mr Saab]

botica went ok...certainly wasnt a bust like some of those mentioned on here.

 

[Broncodroid]

Ex-Balmain halfback Brian Smith brought to the Tigers by Alan Jones?

 

[Mr Saab]

Brian Smith was poor. had the looks, but didnt have the talent

 

[Greenblooded]

Marc Ellis was pretty bad

 

[Corbin]

Fenech doesnt deserve to be apart of this poll. Morgan by a mile. #-o

Penrith, from memory, bought former Springbok Pieter Muller around the time of Superleague. Didn't even reach first grade - went back home.

 

[Greenblooded]

What about Tian Strauss? wasn't he with the Sharks for a while.

 

[Rooster Cogburn.]

What about Tony Darcy, Penrith's spectacular flop in the 80's. They paid a fortune to get him, he was hopeless, about as bad as Garrick Morgan. :lol:

 

[Foz]

Brett Papworth was pretty high profile and had a shocking run with injury.
I dont know that he was value for money.

 

[Rooster Cogburn.]

Papworth was a real talent and if it wasn't for injury he would've been a success. He certainly wasn't a dud.

 

[ManlySeaEagle]

Brett Papworth............ Matt Bourke............ Matt Guberina..........

I know that Penrith bought a former All Black at one time. That could be the guy.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Garrick Morgan made Jeff Fenech look like Darren Lockyer. :lol:

Papworth should definitely not be mentioned in this list. He would have been a superstar if he had any luck with injuries. A real shame we didn't get to see his best in league.

This bloke must have broken a mirror, killed a chinaman, walked under a ladder and had a black cat walk past him all on the one day. Brilliant footballer in both codes but just could not beat injuries when he converted to League. A real shame as he would have been a delight to watch fully fit.
