Who were you surprised never made it?

Probably most surprised I never made it quite obviously.

Yeah same, I was a gun.
f**k knows what happened

And the game has paid for it ever since.

I bet he keeps a spreadsheet or diary on ever feud he has ever had, date it started and ended, what caused it and whether it’s still going on.

Fell out with the front office, mainly

He's a cult hero at Leeds but I still feel he never amounted to what he should have. He was able to be a superstar over there by sort of cruising through games and ended up as an impact bench player when really he should have been the best forward in Super League. He also played his last test for the Kiwis a decade before his retirement, he should have been our best forward of the 2000s.

Caught a game of his a few years after he left the Warriors. He was overweight and slow but still got best on ground getting by on his skill. They have no idea how good he was at the Warriors. I assume he just trod water there for a decade.

Jarryd Sammut for mine.

Saw that kid in the reserve grade GF in 2002/3 I think and eventually when he made grade and thought he was gonna set the world alight, then he disappeared into the wilderness.

I live in London and saw him yesterday coming off the bench for the London Broncos.

Reserve grade GF at 15-16. Damn.

Not enough Jamal Idris in this thread

Could’ve been the next gene miles but couldn’t give up the dirty bird

Second worst defensive fullback behind RTS. Sad because RTS was once pretty good in defence but since he got the big fat contract, he concurrently did a heartlidge.

The level of salt in this post is hilarious

Thinking about it, perhaps cos I grew up in Logan and was 50 kilos and white

I was destined to be one of the greats of the modern day game.
I wasted my opportunity on Table Tennis. For some reason it doesn’t pay very well professionally in Australia. May have to make the move to Chinese.

Michael Withers from a time long gone. Aust Schoolboys capt and I thought was going to kill it. Had a mediocre career in UK.

Jacin Sinclair. Could have been anything, so he decided to be as mad as a cut snake.

Luke Capewell - Played with and against him at junior levels. He was someone ya just knew was gunna play NRL, but he never really kicked on in first grade

If you played juniors with Capewell, how in the f**k did you end up supporting the Storm?

Started supporting the Storm when they came into the league, I would of been 8 at the time, I think. Hated the Broncos back then cause everyone loved the Broncos where I’m from and that gets annoying and the Cowboys were shit back then. Storm came along, I liked their name, I liked their colours, nobody else was following them that I knew, and I was a massive fan of Brett Kimmorley back then. So it all seemed right to follow the Storm, been supporting them ever since

Feleti Mateo
Jarryd Hayne - He made it then lost it. Next year he'll be 29/30, his career is almost over.

That's fair enough. I thought the Broncos was a given.

I was mistaken.

Good call on Mateo. He had mighty physical attributes(good hands, strength, footwork)but came across(probably was)as lazy.

Don’t you worry about Roy. He’s kicking arse locally

Good to see Satts trying his hand at coaching too

https://www.northernstar.com.au/news/casinos-roy-bell-to-captain-representative-team/3028917/

CASINO halfback Roy Bell will captain the Northern Rivers representative rugby league team for the first time at the NSW Country Championships this year.

He will lead them out against North Coast in the second tier part of the competition at Coffs Harbour on Saturday.

Only three players remain from last years team and coach Scott Sattler had plenty of options on who would captain his team.

"Roy is a natural leader and it was a no-brainer for me in the end," Sattler said.

"He hasn't captained a rep team before but it's just a natural progression for a player of his ability.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

has he managed to trim down a bit over the offseason?

Wally Lewis- finally made top grade, played 1 finals game, never won a gf, got sacked, only played 80 games, couple wooden spoons

You do know that Lewis won 3 premierships in the Brisbane league which was top grade footy.
