Who has been Parramattas most dissappointing purchase EVER?

[Gazzamatta]

I guess its fair to target Justin Poore given his lack of game time and average performance since being recruited but have there been worse recruits?
Arron Cannings maybe?
Michael Speechley possibly?
With great respect may I dare suggest Adam Ritson?
Maybe even Alec Tennant who played a game or two after being recruited from Manly then dissappeared?
Im sure there are numerous opinions out there in Parraland?

Adam Dykes. We are probably still paying for his contract somehow.

... while he tapes Cronulla games and watches them afterwards

 

[Parra Pride]

Adam Dykes is the obvious answer.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Timana Tahu, the second time around. Waste of time effort and money.

Nathan Barnes for me

 

[Glenn]

Won't count Poore etc, as injuries are a part of the game and cut short the mosr promising of players (Dave Woods anyone??)
Probably for mine Bob Lindner.

Ben Duckworth came at great expense and played the first 2 games on 2001. Then was never seen since.

A mystery that.

I recall years ago following the annual City V Country game when it was genuine City Vrs Country, Parramatta signed from the Country Team:
Laurie Wakefield Fullback
Terry Scurfield Winger
Graham Lye 5/8
Dennis Mount Goal Kicking Prop.

The first 3 were pretty good but Mr Mount was a huge dissappointment if I remember correctly.

Dykes easily, Green and McFadden were shockers as well.

All cursed by the No.7 jumper. Look for Sandow to break a leg in pre-season, get a golden staph infection and lose it in an emergency amputation.

Wouldn't suprise me :lol:

I have to agree with Adam Dykes also... 400k for him at the time was an absolute waste and tore about our 2001 squad. Won't be too harsh on Green or McFadden because they were average players at the time who we signed just because there were no other halfbacks available.

Cannings was another big name signing who failed to become anything.

Dykes, At least cannings had the excuse he was always injured, Dykes just sucked
