Worst Kangaroos team

That f**ker I've never heard of.

Paul Hauff had a shocker on debut, but he was Changa compared to Brad Godden.

Godden wasn't even a decent first grade player let alone International.

Yep. Being a Dragons fan I vividly remember Godden being selected over Mick Potter who was consistently our best player and head & shoulders above Godden. No doubt there are plenty of other selections like this at both state & international level.

Phil Daley got a run for a Australia in the mid eighties. He played for Manly and his old man was an official with the NSW Rugby league at the time.

It was one of the worst selections for Australia of all time. Average at best. I think he even played origin as well.

Thanks you just reminded me of...Phil Bailey

He will be a good player eventually but Sione Mata'utia must rank as one of the dumbest selections.

Dunno how I stumbled here. I've had a few. But this post aged well..

I also never got the love for kosef at origin and the roos

I thought kosef was outstanding, a career cruelled by injury.

Hauff and Gartner were born outstanding for a couple of years.

Lived on potential and reputation for years at origin level

I don't recall Phil Bailey setting the world on fire.

Never saw him perform at rep level, was always busted.

If he had been able to stay fully fit he would have been only a bit behind Clyde, I would have had him above Beaver. Pure speculation though.
He was an out & out footballer, perfect prototype of a modern day backrower. IMO

You're entitled to your opinion, even if it's wrong.

Agree.

Look he was okay. A club and Bozo favourite for sure.

Kosef & John Simon were deserved.
John Simon on his day was a freak.

Gartner was the overrated one. Name always got thrown in as one of Manlys big 3 backrow in the mid 90s. He was solid but not much compared to Meznies and Kosef.
