what a poop post even today at 44 years of Age Walters looks nothing like a fat PLEASE DON'T USE THAT TERM AGAIN, IT IS NOT WELCOME ON RLFANS from St Helens. Like I said a few pages back the bloke came over to England just over a couple of years after his Wife had died of Cancer leaving him bringing up three young boys. I can fully understand Why he decided he wanted to go back home after one Game......
if you judge the qualities of a former Brisbane, Queensland, and Australia Legend after his first game in England then I would imagine only Allan Langer would have lasted more than one game for Wires, how many Overseas players have had sparkling debuts....???
Walters decided it wasnt for him and went home thats fair enough at least he turned up unlike Campion and at least he didnt rob us for a season like Steve Roach, and at least he wasnt crap for two seasons flicking the bird to our fans like Matt king......
Blinking heck, I can only guess you are a family member and I hit a nerve!? The post title is about worst ever signings (not players), I am not debating how good the player WAS for Brisbane, that's what got the fans (myself included) so excited...
In terms of signings, he was one of the worst I'm afraid, and we signed him with high expectations, he was overweight and slow, and lasted one game! Unless you think he was a good signing and did well for us??
In terms of personal circumstances, I didn't realise there was a pre-requisite that they were allowed sob stories which excused tem from being poor (albeit in one game).
As for your comment re: Matt King, should I even bother commenting!? The guy turned out to be a great signing!! In terms of the V signs, these were aimed at a minority of fans who subjected him to the most vile abuse imaginable (think references to his mum, family etc). I heard these yobs and it was putrid, so if your talking about judging somebody on their personal circumstances, consistency would be nice.
