Brad Tighe, how he continues to play first grade is beyond me, a poor mans Tahu and that's saying something

Moltzen hands down he isn't just playing below expectations or having a bad game..... He has just forgotten how,to catch a ball hold onto a ball score a try throw a pass and run in a straight line...... Plays like a drunken sailor and has the balance of a cross eyed coked up hooker.......

If I was a dragons fan I would be sighing a huge sigh of relief at having dodged that bs bullet!!!

I agree with a lot of the names already mentioned but here are 2 no one has said yet.

Hayne – Has been woeful
Matt prior – I know a lot of dragons supporters who cringe every time he gets the ball.

I don't get how this is picked. If it's worst overall it's likely they played one game off the bench and got dropped.
I always think of this point when people talk about "worst players". The worst players are the ones who are only barely good enough to play first grade once or twice, during Origin and when their club is a casualty ward. So I think it's a bit silly talking about the worst players and mentioning guys who are regular first graders, even if you think they shouldn't be. Wait till the end of the year and the worst player will be the 27 year old who played one game during rep season off the bench because his side had heaps out and then went back to reggies never to be seen again.

Having said all that I agree that Cuthbertson should have been mentioned much much earlier in the thread. Now he is definitely not a first grader and Bennett should have known that.

Luke Walsh has to be the worst halfback running around. His kicking game is poor, his passes are lollipops waiting to be intercepted...

Lote Tiquiri hasn't been that great - especially his defence (positioning mainly)

id disagree, what about somebody who probabl isnt a nrl player has a solid game and then is replaced by a more experienced player. sure if they have a greg smith type game than thats a good call, but im not sure i agree with you there. for me it still has to be sandow very hot and cold at souths and regardless of what parra are paying himits safe to say hes getting a lot and not making the returns everyone had hoped for. a perf3ect example was the knights gamewhere both sides where crap, he could have stepped up but didnt. and he wouldnt have been dropped if he was busting his ass and everyone was ....well busted

You're confusing the idea of a poor player with a guy who plays poorly. Chris Sandow is a good player who has played poorly. A reserve grader who gets a game off the bench during Origin because his team is missing eight first choice players and has a solid game but is then sent back to reserve grade is a poor player. Not that anyone who can make it to first grade is a poor player even if they only play one game off the bench in their whole career. It still puts them in the top 1% of RL players in the world.

Well we set the bar nice and low last year by playing Reece Simmonds. I eagerly await to see if any club go lower.

you're kidding right?


Yeah sorry my mistake. Hayne is the best footballer ever and must be captain and 5/8 and fullback of NSW and Australia.

He has been nothing short of crap with the exception of the Manly game, parts of the Cronulla game and 15 garbage time minutes against Wests.

Forgot about Heighington. Living off his 2008 form. Gets driven back every time and ineffective in defense. He wouldn't make country if he was still eligible.
