We've been blessed with a lot of good times over the past two decades.
However in amongst that there have been pitiful lows. For a period between the Fittler era and the Robinson Era for example there were major bouts of depressing football (only the brief bright spot with Carney in 2010 was to be had).
Those were dark times my friends. Let's revisit them.
1. Jordan Tansey – the slowest, most ineffective fullback to have ever played in the NRL. Last 7 games (somehow) then got the boot.
2. Sonny Tuigamala – who knows why he was in the team. Mates with Sisa perhaps? Born to play Reserves.
3. Dale Copely – Slow as a feather through mustard, and perpetually injuring himself.
4. Todd Byrne – for getting run down (as a 1st grade winger) by an aging fat tired second rower in the Roosters the 2003 GF.
5. Tau Tau Moga – “The next Israel Folau”…apparently……
6. Josh Lewis – Another ‘Next Big Thing’ the Chook Pen blew up about
7. Jackson Hastings – Too many rusted on Chook supporters jizzed over him as a prospect due to his last name. Relied on glory plays that usually didn’t come off. Slow. Egotistical. A below average half (at most)
8. Chris Beattie – Looked like he was 50 years old. Possibly was.
9. Nick Kouparitsis – No explanation required as to why this bloke is in the team. Probably in the squad because he was Uncle Nick’s long lost cousin.
10. Danny Nutley – A literal nugget (was he over 5ft tall or not?) Good for two hit ups – the rest was shite.
11. Willie Mataka – First Grade Career: played 2 games with us, 0 games with the Eels and 0 games with St George over 4 years. I wonder why?
12. Remi Casty – Oof
13. Tom Symonds – He was never that good fellas. Look at it objectively.
14. Mark Edmonson – Pom. Only played 2 games. Ineffective and injury prone.
15. Ray Moujalli – Played 1 game in 2009. We were short that week and needed someone…anyone.
16. Mark Kherirallah – Played one game. The only thing of interest about him was that he was 50% Aboriginal 50% Egyptian.
17. Anthony Watts – a stain on humanity.
Coach: Chris Anderson
probably still couldn’t score a try in that team.
