Worst player ever:
Worst player to have played 10 or less first grade games:
Worst player to have played the majority of a season in first grade:
Worst multi-season first grader:
Worst rep player:

Worst player I've ever seen / players who have played less than 10 games:

No contest....Greg Smith (Newcastle Knights). I rate Warren Ryan as a great coach, but what was he thinking in picking this guy for first grade before even trying him out in reserve grade or testing his skills in training? I'll never forget that afternoon when the Knghts played Canterbury. I'd have picked some local Ipswich wingers over Greg Smith. He looked woeful. It looked like that was the first game of league he had played in his life (I actually think it was).

Special mention goes to Garrick Morgan (Sth Qld Crushers). Even he is a distant second from Greg Smith.



Player who has played the majority of a season in first grade:

Lipina Kaufusi...that guy had no clue. His debut game against Canberra was an absolute blinder. Every game since for the tigers was a shocker. Not just bad...a shocker.

Multiple season first grader: Nick Graham at the tigers/latter Cronulla career. He had zero running impact while trying to be a playmaker in the second row. Failed dismally and had an ordinary workrate.

Worst rep player: Paul Atcheson...slowest player ever. He played at fullback for Great Britain. Who knows what the selectors were thinking when they picked him. He could catch a good bomb though.

I watched my first game in 1974. How the f*ck do I remember all the players who have played less than 10 games?

Thread fail.

Sean Rudder. For a backrower he was an arm grabber in defense and had a hopeless work rate. As a 5/8 he had a pathetic kicking game, a very erratic passing game and wav uncreative. He was unwanted by any clubs when he hit his mid 20's.
