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.

was it paul taylor? i have a feeling he played for parramatta though

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.

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.

How very ironic, then, that you nominated Chris Thorman - who had to play halfback, 5/8 sand hooker (often all ont the one game) behind a woeful forward pack...

As for my nomination - Shane Muspratt

Mick Vella was very good prior to 2002 when the 10-metre rule was tweaked.

Leo Dynevor

Deon Bird

Michael Gillett

Brady Malam

Leo Dynevor was awful at Wests playing behind stars like Lincoln Raudonikis, but at Newie in 97 when Joey was injured he wasn't that bad - played for basically the whole second half of the season I think.

Only one person mentioned Jared Anderson!

C'mon - even St George fans almost felt sorry for sharks fans with Chris was selecting his far less than ideal winger/son to play. Leaked points like a sif and goal kicked at less than 65%! The joke was only funny when your own club played them.

I agree whole heartedly on the Daniel Wagon comments. But noone mentioned his repleacement in ordinariness int he QLD side....

Personally I do not think Chris "why was he called hitman when he tackled like a fairy" Flannery ever put fear in the heart of NSW players. Remember him being selected as five eigth... the only thing creative displayed there was the coaches insane dream.
