For me it has to be Michael O'Connor for Saints.
Came over here with all the hype and was completely useless.

At Leeds, a prop called Peter Smith who came from Illawarra in the late 80s.

So rubbish, he was actually sent home from Leeds at a time when an Antipodean passport assured you a whole winter in West Yorkshire.

3 way tie:

Peter Coyne
Anthony Seu Seu
Dane Neirinx

Lindsey Johnson, girls name, played RL like a girl

Doc Murray.

Misili (the Missile) Manu (Widnes' last season in SL)
Dont get me wrong this lad was fast until he had a ball in his hands.. oh wait.. he never got the ball because he kept over running his centre. and when he did mannage to get the ball he dropped it after taking a couple of steps.

Doc Murray's already been mentioned so David Vaealiki (apart from the try he scored against Saints when he did Wellens like a kipper)

Blake Cannavo!

Frank Napoli is always a winner of this category for Broncos/Quins but the real villain of the piece was another foreigner, John Monie, who kept selecting him.

Graeme West told me at a Do that he was the worst player he has ever seen. Praise indeed.

Chris Orr

No shortage at Warrington
1. Doc Murray
2. Leon Felton
3. Mateaki Mafi
4. David Kidwell
5. Graham Appo (except one season)
6. Chris OSullivan
7. Matt Rodwell
8. Steve Jackson
9. Mark Jackson
10. Dallas Meade
11. Antony Swann
12. Steve Georgalis
13. Manoa Thomson
14. Kevin Walters
15. Matt Sturm
16. Paul Marquet
17. Micheal Watts

James Goulding.
He was shocking even more so when you consider we sacked off Greg Austin to bring him in.

Don't remember Misili Manu or Blake Cannovo playing many, if any, games at SL level. For me, a player who actually played games but was absolutely terrible was Troy Wozniak.

TBF Goulding looked a world beater for the Kiwis the year before but why you would release such a prolific try scrorer was a bit baffling!

Dave Hoskins must be up there for HKR.

ahhh...Troy Wozncrap!



We've had quite a few at Widnes over the years...Kyle White, Boycie Nelson, Marty Moore, Shane Wilson, Brian Jellick, Sam Hansen, Anthony Singleton...the list is endless!.

And it wasn't just that he scored so many.
Him and Sully junior were a deadly partnership.
As you say why anyone would want to break that up is baffling.

Michael Smith, how can anyone have a backside that big and still run?

Totally wrong on that one JB, Michael Smith ran over players like they were not even there. His fitness and commitment to HKR was always going to be in question as it has been all his career wherever he has played but he was nowhere near this category by his performances on the pitch.

WTF?

The guy's a legend.

Fully agree Nick. Okay his fitness / conditioning wasn't the best, but IMO the guy is one of the reasons we finally got back to the top flight after 12 years away.

at Maccas! "conditioning not the best" now there's an understatement. I thought the days of players of that size were over when Brendan Hill retired but Smith kept the "portly" legend alive! I believe he was on a fair whack of money and imo did little to earn it and certainly showed his committment by keeping himself in prime shape!

Your distance certainly puts you at a disadvantage on this one JB. Usually your pretty spot on with most things HKR but Michael Smith was a star performer in most games he played for our club. Numerous man of the match awards among plenty of times James Webster took them when probably not playing better than Smithy. His offloading skill was something no other National League club then had while his unstoppable runs coupled with Makali's barnstorming ones really put us on the front foot, none more so than the NL Grand Final in 2006.

I am with you on the larger frame, it was a long time ago that this fitness regime worked however for him in the lower league it did. I would also say players like Feka and Solomona are not too far off being the same size as Smith. Oh and lets not forget Michael was on the reserve list to play for New Zealand whilst playing for Rovers.

Abraham 'Butch' Fatnowna - so much talent, so little effort

Kyle White - a complete ar5ehole on and off the pitch

Lafaele Filipo - big man, small heart

Richard Henare - space cadet extraordinaire

But none of them even came close to the atrocious David Fraisse who's faults would require a whole new thread.....

Hutch Maiava has been the stand out worst overseas player for us.
