Something like that...that team is horrible to even look at, if they ever played together it would be a disaster

Worst 3 - In order
1 Rudder
2 Korkidas
3 Newlove

I alway hoped Rudder would turn out like Graeme Bradley did, awful but the quality shone through in the end, but it never got close. Korki had a bad start and as he is a confidence player just got worse. Maybe its harsh on Newlove, he was too old and was well past his best, but in terms of value for money he was desperate.

Best 3 - In order
1 Nutley
2 Vowles
3 Shenton

Surprised Danny Nutley not got more of a rap. He ran his blood to water in vain in 06. Don't share the raps on Danny Brough tho. Sure he ran riot in the NL, but was very erratic in SL and his tantrums cost us a game or two. At times I got totally furious with him. Vowles made a reasonable team into a very good one and Shenton is one of far too few Cas players who does nothing spectacularly, but all the basics very well indeed.

Damien Gibson? Danny Ward? Jonny Hepworth? Have you been watching the same players as me? And Clayton has been OK when called upon.

Worst - Sean "did i ever play for cas" Ryan, leads me on to Ryan Sheridan (albeit lamed by bad incident) leads me on to ....... sherw.... no only kidding, the ferret "rudder" gets my vote for worst, and best well vowlesy, fritzy early on in noughties - no contest, but tookey was great albeit in a cameo, and lynchy didnt let us down in 2004, thinking about it he never let us down, but for me and for the hard work and yards - nutley and manu were crackers in late noughties icon_biggrin.gif
and ready for the "teens" will be shenny, joe, richie, jordan et al lol!!!! icon_cool.gif

It is hard to pick individuals - the team of 99, arguably our most successful was probably successful becuase there were no superstars - everyone contributed.
So I would probably have Dean Sampson, Danny Orr, Michael Shenton, Brad Davis, Adrian Vowles as having huge contributions in this decade.
As in the true best players - you would have to be looking at Nutley, Manu, Bartrim and Shenton as 'best' in their positions and they woudl be playing for anyone, I was also a massive Crouch fan, I thought he was proper quality for us and was never quite right with his knee in his whole stay here so what he would have been like 100% fit we can only assume.

In terms of worst - thats more tricky because Sean Ryan, Rudder, Greenhill and Newlove et-al were not the worst players I have seen - they just played the worst when they were here either through form, injury, motivation or just being out of date - so - worst based on what appeared to be talent I would go for - Kyle Warren (apologies if he was good in Aus) and Sione Faumuina.
Tom Harbrecht didn't do well for us, but at Championship level he's OK, so it is not his fault he got his chnace is it?!?!?
I can't believe people are having a pop at Jonny Hep, Aaron Smith, and Deon Bird and those types of player - admitted they aren't Rep material but they did a job for us when we needed them, be it limited or otherwise?

Having bagged the worst, don't get me wrong, I would love to be as good as the worst ones!!!!!
