Most of the players that 'genius' coach Alan jones signed up when he coached Balmain in the early '90s. Including a rugby half back that he forced Gary Freeman out to be able to sign.
There was an awful fullback for the Rabbitohs sometime in the '90s. Forget his name but he was related to an Australian test cricket player from the old days. This kid would always do crazy things like pass the ball in his own in goal that would lead to an opposition try.
He wasn't that bad a player, really.
He just had a bad game that day.
He had some very good games at other times.
Don F'n Tweedle - Chris Anderson has so much to answer for as a result of bringing Tweedle in from some random country comp into the NRL.
Grant 'THE SQUASHER' Wooden - The only thing that was squashed when he was chosen for first grade were his chances at a career in league.
Mick Vella - How did this guy get picked for representative sides? I don't know what they saw in him.
Ahmad Bajouri - Wow. Still find it funny how he left for Souths as opposed to staying at the Wests Tigers. Went nowhere.
Frank Pritchard - Absolutely brilliant for about two games a season. One of these is always a game against the Wests Tigers. I always loved how the paper called him "The next Sonny Bill" even though he was around long before Sonny Bill was hahaha.
Chris Thorman - Wow. Just, wow. Poor bloke didn't know what was going on. I think Smith was playing a practical joke on everyone by playing him just to let us know he had a sense of humour.
I have seen many more but my memory is failing me / protecting me from horrible flashbacks.

Lee Murphy was not a 1st grader whatsoever.
Terry cook has to be the worst rep player of all time by a country mile.
