Which players could have been unstoppable if they had heart? (Ala Alan Tongue)

[RedVDave]

Dave Taylor: On his day can be an absolute wrecking ball, but clearly has a shit attitude and is lazy as fug.

Jason Ryles: When he first started his career he was very, very good! Then he started being a soft plodder who started giving away dumb penalties and threw so many stupid offloads as if he had a time limit to hold the ball. Will never forget when he blamed someone else for conceding a match costing penalty against Cronulla.

Ashton Sims: This guy really could have been great but if Wayne Bennett can't fix your attitude (lack of heart) your pretty much fugged.

Dave Taylor and T-Rex co captains of the heartless XIII

She-Rex. The bloke is massive, powerful, fairly fast, has ball skills and can get a pass off in traffic. Just looks totally disinterested in working up a sweat.

Ashton Sims was an absolute beast during his time at the Cowboys, often outplaying his more fancied teammates. Maybe supercoach Wayne Bennett just wasnt the right coach to get the best out of him, wouldnt be the first time.

Sims was good in his last year.

I want to say Inglis because he's inconsistent, but you can't say he doesn't have heart.

Taylor and T-Rex sort of own this title though.

Ali Lauitiiti. We saw it in 2002 when he was unstoppable, but just didn't have the hunger post-injury and went off to the ESL where he spent the rest of his career coasting along collecting a fat paycheque on 3/4 effort.

I don't share your glowing assessment but it is ridiculous of the OP to say he had no heart

Oh, this one for sure.
He was so good in that year they made the GF. Real shame he couldn't continue that form.

 

[Jason Maher]

Surprised Pops hasn't nominated Shaun Johnson yet...

 

[blaza88z]

Johnathon Thurston

he could do with a bit of competitive spirit too, something he lacks significantly

 

[Packy]

Ashton Sims no heart? bzzzzt.. It was probably his best asset.

Don't think it was a lack of heart though - just a lack of desire.

Yeah I'd agree there, but I think the thread kinda covers either, those players who for whatever reason just didn't want it enough.
I'll add Konrad Hurrell too. More interested in mucking around on Instagram and getting gobbies from MILFs.
