Even if we're sticking to simple ability alone regardless of previous performances/achievements with other clubs I'd still say Howarth wasn't the worst

Tricky Trindall looking back reminds me of the similar scenario with Eastmond. Remember watching him, Saints playing away to Oldham in a cup game, Tricky played so bad I thought he was doing it on purpose so he didn,t get selected for the next game.

Indeed. Ricky Bibey was a far worse player than Howarth, as were Paul Davidson and Bryan Henare.

Josh Perry is definately the worst ever signing.

Don't rememebr Paul Davidson being that bad?
Do rememebr him getting knocked out by Morley.
I was trying to find footage on him but can't find him. Shame there's so little footage of rl online.
I like to watch some classic biff every now and again and I've seen all the obvious ones.
To be honest I would love to watch matches from the beginning of super league, like I do with boxing. Watched the two Lewis/Holyfield fights the other day.

I guess the thread has drifted somewhat but I suspect you see a trend. He isn't very good.
