I'm sure Albert Kelly'll crack another run in first grade with all his talent, but jesus christ, if he doesn't, he's got to go down as one of the worst.

Laughing at the Steve Michaels call from May now! Lasted a touch longer than the broncos did last season and looked alright whilst doing so.

Lastly, for all the Joe Williams haters, he could single handedly win the occassionally game and doesn't deserve the mention in this thread (as per this reference to consequtive man of the matches - http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/penrith-chasing-joe/story-e6frexqi-1111114296019)

Justin tsulous.

Enough said

I have not got the best history to comment on this, but in my time (Storm time) it's have to be Chris Anderson's son, was it Ben ? Real dud, played 5/8th in first grade very very very badly, dumped, and then went on to who the f*** knows what but it was not as an NRL player.

If we're going by most selections in rep games, it's hands down Kurt Gidley.

10 Origins
11 for Australia.

How the f**k?

FTR, I actually like Gidley.

This.

I'll add Greg Inglis in a new category - Decent games per dollars spent. At the moment it runs at about $250k/game. By season's end, $355k/game.

And have people forgotten one Darren Edward Clark?

Warriors could almost field a team of qualified players for this thread.

1. Doc Murray
2. Paul Staladi
3. Peter Lewis
4. David Bailey
5. Paul Atkins - One game wonder. Played against the Roosters, returned the ball from the kick running hard and straight at top speed. Too bad both times he ran directly at Adrian Morley.
6. Shane Endacott - Daddy gave him more games than he deserved.
7. Ben Lythe - Highlight was a 80th minute charge down try. Shame it was his kick that got charged down and gave the Knights an 18-all draw.
8. Grant Young - Made Tyran Smith's hands look as safe as a vault.
9. Aaron Lester - Remember him? Yeah, me neither.
10. Matt Jobson
11. Tyran Smith
12. Mark Carter - One of the worst union converts ever
13. Matt Spence

14. Corey Lawrie
15. Kane Ferris
16. Cliff Beverly
17. Logan Edwards - 14 career games, and yes still managed a couple of games for NZ in 95.

Worst Australian rep player: Ross Conlon

So bad you had to say it twice, eh? ;-)

 

[Jud]

Tyran Smith................... was absolute rubbish!!

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

That Roosters player that Chris Anderson chose who cost us the Canberra game. Willie Brown or something.

 

[Moffo]

ben rogers has to get a guernsey here for multi year

absolutely horrible and a penalty merchant

 

[Coaster]

Kris Kahler was ordinary.

He played a game for us 10 hitups for 3 meters, still don't know how he managed it, he only has to fall over 10 times to beat it

 

[Spot On]

Imagine a halves pairing of Scott Dureau and Sean Rudder.

 

[gronkathon]

Trent Runciman
Scott Fulton
Rapers boy

I remember him in the Titans debut game, got absolutely murdered by the Dragons every time he took the ball up.

Taulima Tautai

AWTA...have heard this guy described as a talent on so many occasions when he stands out to me as desperately talentless

 

[Fifty Metre Line]

Couldn't hold onto a ball to save his life.


Would I be the first to mention Phil Bailey as one of the worst players to play rep footy?

Can't believe he played for NSW, let alone Australia.

tony trim

 

[Brutus]

Any one of Bob Fulton's offspring.

His daughter was actually the best player of that lot.

 

[Brutus]

Garrick Morgan and Fulton's boys.

There we have it.

Oh and Greg Wolfgramm lol

John Plath was a great player off the bench for Brisbane. Whoever suggested Plathy needs an uppercut.
