Peter Coyne defintely, ran like a duck. And Danny Stains the same year wasn't much better (i think he went back down under and played Origin as well). Then we had Mick Taylor on the wing that year. He took to Struddies man for man marking so well that he'd never tackle the opposing centre even when they had a 2 on 1.

And i think we've had worse half backs than Lawford - Dane Dorhay, Martyn Moxon.

Going back further - Mick Snee played centre in late 70's early 80's.

Peter Coyne was really poor but the worst signing was Strudwick himself.

Quote: chris_smith "Also anyone remember the big South African we signed who was meant to be the RL equivalent of Drago from Rocky!! Alleged to have the biggest kick in Rugby and Seem to remember he was called Cliff Brown or something?? Came from RU and was cack!! Think he played a couple of A Team games and played once for the first team at Thrum Hall v Oldham but was never seen again!!'"


He scored the winning try against Oldham and did also play against Cas. No closer to being our worst player than he was to being our best in truth!

Peter Coyne was in St George's 1992 Grand Final side alongside his brother Mark.

Bit unfair on Ketteridge, always thought he did fairly well when he played. Grant Anderson as well, he was just never fit to play.

Lee Finnerty on his policy of never tackling below the neck.

Chris Birchall was about as one-dimensional as Neil Cherryholme. Never understood why he got picked.

Heath Cruckshank?

Regarding Birchall & Cherryholme, I'm assuming they had the "right" attitude, ie. a good clubman. never missed training & put the tacking in on the field, though during their careers, I don't think I recall 1 tackle bust between the pair of them.

Just about any signing TA made the season after we were relegated, I remember a piece by Dave Fleming in a programme maybe 18 months on from our first game against Keighley when he made the point that every player except one or two who'd played in that first game had left the club by then

Some great posts guys and it shows i'm getting old as i can't believe how many i had forgotten about untill you mentioned them.
Anyway a good bit of fun before the nerves start kicking in for the weekend.

When that's out of the way we will have to have the "best" signings ever with a sort of dream team theme so get your thinking caps on.icon_thumb.gif

Lokeni Savelio
Kevin/Keiron O'Loughlin
Dane Dorahy - Awesome when he was on trial but as soon as he got a contract became anonymous.
David Bates

Another one for the transfer fee paid, Paul Broadbent. £150,000 in 1999 to replace Harrison and he was VERY dissappointing.
