Worst team of the last 5 years

[NAS]

On heels of Canberra's "marquee" signing of the great Michael Bani, I got to thinking. There have been so many "best of" teams, but few teams reserved for those players who somehow forged a career in the NRL despite being less than first grade standard.

With that in mind, I thought it'd be funny to put together a side of the last 5 years, with players who fit the above description.

The rules are,

1) They have to have played since 2007.
2) They have to have played in games over more than 1 season.
3) They have to have played in the position that you're picking them in for more than 5 games.
4) They have to have played more than 20 NRL games.
5) Considerations need to be over their entire career (to date), as such, Mat Orford at Canberra doesn't count because over his entire career, he would be considered a good player.


Starting off.

1) David Simmonds
2) Michael Bani
3) Shannon Hegarty
4) Adrian Purtell
5)
6) Jeremy Smith
7) Scott Dureau/ Joe Williams (I can't separate these two collosuses)
8) Jaiman Lowe
9) Stuart Flanagan
10) Dan Tolar
11) Brad Morrin
12)
13) Ben Rogers

Hegarty was a good player before he went to the career killing vermin.

Scott Dereau shits all over Daniel Mortimer or Jeff Robson.

Didn't he win man of steel?

Ben Pomeroy could squeeze into the 5.

Can Carl Webb play in the 12 jumper?

Haha...man of steel.

I think I might have won that a few years ago, can't remember.

[Silent Knight]

You forgot Cameron Ciraldo.

 

[adamkungl]

Scott Dereau looks like Andrew Johns compared to Joey Williams

There was a Jeremy Smith in the halves for lol@souffs a few years back. One of the worst footballers the NRL has ever seen.

5) Daniel Fitzhenry

Yep he's talking about this one:

Not the premiership winning forward currently at the Sharks.

I'd say the latter

Richie Williams could sneak in there

14) Brendan Worth

A couple of former Panthers who are more than deserving of spots in this team. I double checked to make sure both had played more then 20 games and in more then one season of first grade... as there really shouldn't be anyway they had more then a few games.
