The most disappointing ex Wire players team of all time. (No current team players). Not particularly the worst in his position but with the biggest reputation flop. Fill in the blanks.

Given that Basil Richards was dubbed 'the next ellery Hanley' when we got him I think he deserves a spot. Along with that waste of space Tony Tatupu.

5) Richard Henare - disappointing that such a talent was wasted.


Craig Teitzel - The size of Hercules, the power of a daisy.

Can we really put Matty Russell on this list when the OP asked for players with the "biggest reputation flop", did anyone think we'd signed Billy Slater?

I thought the same.
He was a £0 signing and was playing lower grade Aussie rugby.
However he can keep his shirt until someone has a more apt fill as technically we signed him from ourselves and gave him a bigger fat deal to which he flopped.

Actually for quite a while he performed better than expected (cat duly released in pigeon coop).

Teitzel...Excellent call!

I'd agree, up and till that clattering at Widnes tempered with it generally being based on the premise of a low expectation, which I thought was the opposite of the general idea of this thread rather 'just' slagging off the usual suspects?

Do I want him back in our current team? No. Do I think he should be in this team? Again it's a No from me

For me one of the biggest disappointments was Chris Rudd. A quite outstanding youth player, I saw him score a cracker against Australia in a youth international, just never quite got to where he should have. Far more so than Rhys Evans.

duckie you are older than me - what's your verdict on putting Steve Roach in ahead of Teitzel? Roach did have that big game in the semi final against Wigan but overall wasn't he a flop relative to his three-time Dally M prop of the year reputation?

Also how about Scott Wilson ahead of Kevin Walters?

Jon Roper too, but this sounds like another thread: young players that didn't live up to their potential rather than players who had a 'reputation' when signing which sounds more like players brought in from outside.

You’re right! I meant Jon Roper!

Steve Roach was what I'd hope Roberts would be.
A fat lazy git who was saving everything for a final visit.
Roach put in forward performances bigger than any prop I ever saw in a Wire shirt from the 80s+ the only thing was, I could count them on 2 fingers....still it was double what we got from Roberts.

Well that's a strong interchange bench (of contenders) sorted.

Mike Forshaw as 13 anyone?

I know that you are trying to fill a team, but, like Russell, Rhys Evans is off piste IMO

The Jackson bros, circa 1988
One of them even scored a GF winning try

No, absolutely no reason to put him in.
