| The thread on Macani made me think of a Bulls XIII that would attract the most ire from the crowd. Here's my effort.
Platt - At fullback Platt was capable of some amazing blunders
Sheriffe - I still have nightmares+
Sykes - See Platt
K,Pryce - Built like Tarzan, played like Jane
Macani - See thread
Herbert - We were desperate for a halfback and got this backpacker.
Sjieka - Lowes like him. That was about it.
Paul Grayshon - Lived in the shadow of his Dad at Northern.
Addy - Got some dog's abuse
Hall - Not up to it but didn't deserve the criticism
Nero - Or "Zero" as he was popularly known
Worrincy - Possibly McNamara's worst signing
Langley - Gave 100% but got abuse for being unable to pass.
Honourable mentions for Nick Zisti and Matt Orford.
Have I missed anyone

| Justin Brooker I remember dropping a hat trick of tries in a leeds Derby the man never manged to win me back over.
James Evans- was a quota player who blocked youngsters progression for me.
Marcus st-Hilaire, urgh.
Chev- nice bloke good in his early career but he needed to retire long before he did.
Iestyn......
Semi Tadulala - despised this bloke as he started to look disinterested and remember him having a heart that seemed to shrink over his spell with us. some may say I am harsh but hey ho..

| Kopczak - not so much for how he played but the dog act on walking out on his team mates.
Lauaki - same as Siejka
Blythe - Tried hard but was just pants. Probably not helped by a coach playing him on the wing. In fact James Lowes has a a lot to answer for.
Be interesting to see out of Mcnamara and Lowes which fans disliked the most. Mcnamara was a crap coach but did a lot for our youth setup. Jimmy was worshipped by the players and i think he would be a perfect no.2. But his selections, signings and favouritisms cost us the MPG and top 4 last year. Who signs a retired knacakard FB when you already have 4. Two of whom you signed in the off-season.

Lauaki was hopeless yet didn't get a tenth the abuse Addy used to get despite him putting in 100% more effort that Lauaki. Blythe tried his nuts off but often the harder he tried the worse he got.
I think with both Lowes and McNamara you could say they were good No 2 coaches and making them head coach didn't work.

| Tame Tupou. For the same reasons as Karl Pryce.
I too would have Lauaki in there ahead of Glenn Hall. Hall at least did one good thing in a Bradford shirt and had extenuating circumstances that made it difficult for him from the start. Lauaki was just fecking useless.

| I always used to enjoy watching Karl Pryce do keepie uppies during the pre-match warm ups during his second stint at Odsal. He couldn't look any more disinterested if he tried. He had bags of potential but no heart. If he applied himself he could have been one of the best wingers of the Super League era.

| A few others that come to mind...
Jean Philipe Baile - never did anything worthwhile with us
Jamal Fakir - another useless French import
Nathan McAvoy - one moment of magic in the Cup Final, otherwise hopeless
Jeff Wittenberg - just awful...
Tame Tupou - sicknote
Abi Ekoku - could have been a world beater if he'd had the heart for it
Epalahame Lauaki - do I need to explain?
A few from further back
Kel Earl - couldn't catch a ball to save his life
Stuart Carlton - one of the worst centres you'd ever see
Phil Jackson - had the talent but never had his heart in it
Ken Kelly - signed from St Helens and went missing soon after
Jack Austin - past it even before we signed him
Craig Richards - looked the part, but never fulfilled potential

| Craig Richards. I remember him bursting onto the scene and looking devastating then disappearing almost as quickly.
I'll see your Fakir and and Baille and raise you a David Fraisse.
Oh and a Eugene Bournville.

| Excellent thread. Got to agree that Stuart Carlton wasn't the greatest but I recall he did score the only try for us standing in for the injured Sir Keith in the 1974 John Player final at Wilderspool. A mighty 3-2 victory when a try = 3 points and a drop goal = 2.
Also a bit harsh on Eugene Bourneville who hung around the area for several years after he stopped playing pro and became a legend in Thornton!

| Toa Kohe-Love's on my list... Other than a blatant voluntary on our own try line I struggle to remember anything outstanding and for me looked a better player when he was against us. I have him on the 'Big let down' list.

| Mario Fenech was the worst player we ever signed imo. I think we won him in a chook raffle. Turned out in only two games (iirc) and never actually played, or broke sweat, in either..
...which may be why I'm cool about the effort put in by others since, lol.

| Shaun Edwards - horrible person and we signed him far too late in his career
David Solomona - didn't give us the x-factor promised
Logan Swann - remember him being rumoured to be signing us for at least two years and when he finally did it was a massive let down
