Back in the 1980s Bradford Northern got a bloke called Mario Fenech who wandered about looking lost and without expending any great effort. He lasted about two games. There are some people (with, perhaps, shorter memories) from Bradford who put in a claim for Nick Zisti, who was also pretty undistinguished, but he was in a different league to Fenech who took being useless to amazing levels.

haha Mario is now on the Footy show and equally as lost! I think that ball to the head , hence his nickname Falcon, knocked what remaining brain cells he had left out!

There is a classic wind up of him on that well known video site, look for "Kurt Gidley pranks mario fenech".

Same as previous Wigan fans it would have to be Doc Murray. He was useless bar his debut in a boxing day friendly against Saints when he got mom.

It was all downhill from there.

before I even clicked on this thread, I knew you'd name O'Connor.

Manu did once scored a 90 metre try in a cup game for Leigh against Leeds, mind.

We've had a few. Jason Ferris, Luke Issaka (who played the sum total of 25 minutes in a two year contract IIRC), Alan Mason...

Beat me to it.Had the finesse of a runaway truck.

We have had a fair few at Cas, but for me Brent Sherwin was the worst value for money player we have ever signed. Massive wages but never even attempted to get match-fit when he wasn't injured.

Michael Smith is certainly in the running at Saints.

Other notable mentions:
Paul Vautin
Ricky Cowen
Bryan Henare
Darrell Trindall
Phil 'oops someone signed the wrong brother' Adamson
Damien Smith

Will have to agree to disagree JB. IMO Michael Smith was a critical part of our promotion season. If we hadn't made it that year we probably wouldn't be there now (Cas would have been hot favs to go up in 2007, as they did do). Therefore Smithy was worth whatever we were paying him.

Luke Issaka? Did we get confused and thought we were signing Isaac Luke?

Sounds like Paul Franze at Cas a few years back

I could understand Hull FC or St Helens fans mentioning Michael Smith, but not any Hull KR fan - his effort could not be faulted in the promotion-winning season and he was - deservedly so - a huge fans favourite!

Yes, James Goulding and David Hoskins were bad, but there have been far, far worse at Craven Park.

What about early 90's disasters like Peter Anderson, Troy Goldman and Dave Webber?

Never heard of them? Exactly!

Kyle Warren
Sean Rudder
Paul Franze

Dorahy jnr was another that springs to mind, I guess he inherited his mothers genes!

Very close to the worst line up ever... BUT!

1. Tommy O'Reilly
2. Jon Wilshire
3. Michael Eager
4. Selise Finau
5.
6. Adam Doyle
7. Michael Sillivan
8. Martin Masella
9.
10. Paul Rauhihi
11. Tony Tatupu
12.
13.

That has got all the Hallmarks of the crappest team to ever play Rugby League! Fill in the gaps!

You'd not deny though that Zisti has to get the award for the SL era? For on-field performances (such as they were) anyway? Although Tupou probably came close. The Toerag whose name we do not speak has to take the award for off-field?

To be fair I thought Vautin played decent for us in the 88/89 season when he came over with O'Connor.

So

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
18. Tommy O'Reilly
19. Jon Wilshire
20. Michael Eager
21. Selise Finau
22. Adam Doyle
23. Michael Sullivan
24. Martin Masella
25. Paul Rauhihi
26. Tony Tatupu



I think between us we have assembled an all overseas 25 man Warrington squad that would struggle to beat ......anyone!!!

(I thought Eagar was OK...nowhere near the dross levels of the rest and I was tempted to add other players with the surname Swann)

Matt Gardener. Yeah, we got the wrong player.

I remember an Australian winger we had called Keith Beauchamp and all I remember from him was getting skinned for several tries in THAT playoff loss to fev.

Yeah, didn't remember him been too bad, but watched a Wakefield away game the other day and he wasn't the best defender.

Not a bad runner with the ball though.

I'm not sure that either of these should be in there.

Eager was a chocolate fireguard at Warrington. Then turned out to be a decent play for Cas. The other Swann's we're at least tolerable, Willie was as average as average come's, as were the rest of the players around him, and I actually rated Logan



The depressing thing is, as bad as this squad is, we could go three fold for the garbage British players!

Come on, P&B glasses off, Appo (except one fantastic season) was useless! Rauhihi came over and did very little, apart from throwing the ball on the floor and rolling around on the floor. The best two things he did for Warington were chasing back and catching Brent Webb (iirc) and giving Andy Coley the good hiding he deserved!

And as for Wilshire... crock! That is all!
