Who is the worst “marquee” player in the NRL and why is it Ben Hunt?

[The Man Shake]

Ben Hunt reminds of that small, generally unremarkable kid who hangs around the cool kids in the playground (lets call them the Maroons). The cool kids only mildly tolerate him (because they're amused by his flattery), but because of that he thinks of himself as one of the cool kids and will tell anyone who cares to listen.

Most of the time though he's forced to hang out with those kids of an equal, unremarkable standing (i.e. the Dargons) and he squeals that he's not meant to be in this position, he's one of the cool kids. Why can't he go and hang out with the cool kids all the time?

Obviously Ben Hunt would be a great marquee player somewhere but he clearly wants to leave and move on and the Dragons stopped him, that obviously impacts motivation and the like and has lead to another shit year by the marquee halfback. If he had signed to the Dolphins like rumoured I reckon he'd be crushing it and they'd probably be top 4.

What's his excuse for the other 6 years?

If it's all time, it's his former halves partner, Anthony Milford.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Give him another 3 years flanno

 

[Penrose Warrior]

I would take Hunt over any marque signing the Tigers have had from the last 10-15 years. Adam Blair is still atop the pile of shit mountain though

Needs a picture of that Predator meme, with the Warriors and Tigers shaking hands over being subjected to the shit fest that was Adam Blair's career post Melbourne.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Hunt is probably the worst since Penrith signed Jimmy Frauds. As soon as we punted that merkin to France we made 4 GFs (and counting) in a row

A few all timers that belong in this thread
-Russell Packer to Newcastle - ended up in prison before he played a game
-Reni Maitua to Cronulla - 8 games played 0 wins then popped a drug test
-Adam Blair to Wests - the gold standard for shit signings

I'm a Wests Tigers supporter...."what's a marquee player"

Tim Moltzen

Now that's a sorry tale. He could've been a superstar but injuries cruelled him.

All time, Dennis Betts and Andy Platt were, I think, the Warriors’ marquee signings in 1995

 

[Sphagnum]

Nicho hynes. Absolutely shits the bed in big games/moments. Media goes on like he is the greatest half of all time.

Justin Poore, was nit a very good signing for Parra.

I enjoyed it.

Not the worst but Valentine Holmes is having a crack at it.

Jack Wighton a shout?

 

[JamesRustle]

George Rose... well he played in a marquee by the time he got to the Dargons.

Danny Levi (Canberra Raiders)

 

[Gardenia]

Did we forget so quickly Corey Norman on 900K to the Dragons?
