Had the good ones, let’s hear it…….?

Roy Asotasi
The Great GI (on one leg)
Mitch Achurch (4 yr contract on mega bucks)
Todd Carney (could have been so good)
Kevin Locke

Between Warrington Leeds and Saints far too many to mention.

Joe Vickery had to be there somewhere.
Brett Mullins
Ben Cross
Nathan Peteru
Tui lolohea

Beau Falloon
Tui
Hurrell
A church
Galloway

Hurrell is harsh, and whilst I don't think Galloway was great certainly worked hard for the team and didn't stink the place out. Faloon on the other hand

Worst signings I’ve gone for are generally biggish babe players on big bucks. And not those who’ve been really unlucky with injury either. A pint on peanuts is not necessarily that bad a signing (Vickery etc)

2 snapped Achilles in 3 years put him on my list. Thought he was ok when he was on the pitch

Tetevano
Hurrell
Lolohea
Sandow
Peteru
Thompson
Galloway

Josh Reynolds for us....

Remember Orford being bad for Bradford. Marc Herbert was another bad 7 for them.

Willie Mason, think he only played 2 or 3 games for Rovers. He went to Catalans in 16 and was pretty anonymous.

Always thought Toopi should've done better for Leeds when he came over, or am I being harsh?

Worst Overseas players for us in SL my 5 would be

Ben Cross
Tui Lolohea
Beau Falloon
Joe Vickery
Mitch Achurch

Worst Overseas for other SL clubs I'd go

Sonny Bill Williams ( Was just part of the Toronto Wolfpack Joke)

Greg Inglis (one of greatest of all time but should have stayed retired)

Chris Sandow.

Todd Carney

Kevin Locke

Didn't Carney make the dream team whilst at Catalans?

On the basis of cost/pedigree, Widdop is/was the worst.

In an amazing Storm team, goes to Wire and considering he would be marquee, was awful.

Also throw in Bateman. Canberra to Wigan. He's done nothing for 2 seasons at Wigan and now rips up a contract, to go play for Wests.

The epitome of a money grabbing flat track bully.

Finally considering the amount of time we tracked Tetevano - he's been a disaster given him also being marquee.

Achurch on mega bucks - I don’t think so. We got what we paid for on that one, which was not a lot. Not far off with the others although Mark Carroll and Greg Florimo are worthy of dishonorable mention.

Tetevano is up there.

Is Tetevano into his last year with us?

Trent Merrin?

I’m firmly of the opinion we’d have been relegated without him. He played in one of the most awful packs we’ve put out and almost single handedly carried them.

Agree.

Showing my age.....Sam Backo

Tetevano's up there, bang average but paid like a super star, Thank god its his last year.

But is it?????? Every time Rohan mentions him he goes out of his way to praise him. It's going to be very interesting to see what they do with the overseas spots this year, especially if the likes of Tetavano are prepared to take substantially reduced contracts. For the record I hope he does go, but I'm not 100% sure he will.

Falloon, Mullins, Lolohea, Eastwood and Mark O'Neill would all be up there. Extra man Paul Bell.

Falloon and Lolohea would be tops because they were signed into absolutely key positions and were awful. You can get away with a centre being a bit meh, but not supposedly your star halfback and hooker. I'm glad Lolohea has turned it around, but turning up at Leeds in the state he was physically was a disgrace for a pro sportsman. Letting him play while looking like he could just about play half a game for a pub football team was a mark of a weak coach and a team that had utterly lost its way.

Tetevano would probably be OK if he's on a vastly reduced wage. Smith certainly seems to like his attitude in training etc as a good influence round the club, but at some stage he has to transfer that to the field or its all a bit pointless. It could all just be about getting the best out of him for one year - having seen what happened this off season I've no doubt he'll get flicked if he doesn't pick up a fair bit.

I think we need to be clearer on criteria here. There's a big difference between a big name on big money (e.g. Brett Mullins), an NRL struggler who doesn't live up to expectations in SL (e.g. Lolohea at Leeds), an NRL reserve-grader who doesn't cut it (Achurch, Vickery), and a potentially decent player who was just unlucky with injuries (Paul Bell).

In SL, while we've had plenty come over from the NRL who haven't set SL on fire, I think we've been lucky to avoid some of the outright howlers of big money signings that other SL clubs have punted for, e.g. Mark Carroll, Matt Orford, Gareth Widdop, Chris Sandow, and pretty much everyone Warrington have thrown big contracts at in the last 15 years.

While it is fair to say that we wanted to see more from the likes of Hurrell, Merrin, Toopi, Galloway etc, all of them gave us solid service in their own way.

Its his last year on his mega contract either way, really hope we dont retain him, but if we do, it would be easier to stomach if he's on a contract that reflects his performance.

If you're on the big money you have to play like it.

If you were to ask someone, who wasn't aware, who the Rhinos prop on big money was you'd get the answer Oledzki
