Defiantly not the worst, nobody tops Andy Currier.

Neil Parsley?

Re: GOB : Sat Aug 30, 2014 7:15 pm  

Parsley only played 1 match for us I think - an came from a lower division club. I don't think he had a reputation as such.

I think As-it-easy was hired based on reputation alone. A reputation earned several years before.

Craig Teitzel was a big Aussie who came here and did sod all from memory. (And Dave King)
Don Duffy ?
Steve Georgallis ?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Dave king was a second row that we played as prop, due toinjuries, he got spell in the back row just before the seasons end and was pretty good.


GeorgiaLlis was just also getting into some form when he got a season ending injury.


Mike Ford was a let down, I doubt many people remember us signing him in the centenary season, when Mackey went back to Australia. He was shot as a player and his confidence was gone

The difference is that all the above mentioned didn't have the ability whereas Currier did, the thief!

Tony Tatupu is a challenger for my worst signing nomination.

Let's make it clear, GOB isn't a bearing on where this thread is going.

Re: GOB : Sat Aug 30, 2014 10:21 pm  

GOB is doing OK....had a good game but just needs someone to share the load and the confidence to tell players what he isdoing

I could not resist the opportunity to put together a worst imports 19 (because 2 of the 17 were always injured)

1 Doc Murray (but who was the full back we signed on loan from Trafford Borough )
2 Graham Appo (on his final season)
3 Manoa Thompson (his son is not bad though)
4 David Kidwell (who went on to be a great 2nd row)
5 Leon Felton
6 Tom Oreilly
7 Matt Rodwell
8 Craig Tietzel
9 Mike Sullivan
10 Roy Asotasi
11 Don Duffy
12 Paul Marquet
13 Steve Georgalis
14 Steve Jackson
15 Mark Jackson
16 Steve Roach
17 Chris O Sullivan
18 Matt Sturm
19 Scott Wilson

Some players are not bad they just can't be arsed when they join us. Good ability, awful attitude.

Re: GOB : Sat Aug 30, 2014 11:06 pm  

Steve Roach was the laziest prop and the most intense prop I've ever saw in p&b. one extreme to the other!
