Jamie Thackrey. Although he was never really that good to begin with.
Karl Prat maybe worth a spot on the wing.

Karl Pryce on the wing - saw him as a 17 year old tearing Australia apart and could have been anything if his heart matched his size. Still can I guess but I'm not sure he'll get there |

'Wasted talent' is a phrase that could have been written specifically for Owen Craigie - had all the skill and ability you would ever want but never had the discipline to make the most of it.

Jarrad Hickey. Came over as Wakeys new big name signing. Had all the basics of a prop- strength, offload, size. Just far too much on the size part. I.e. 4 or 5 stone too much. Embarassing.

Bobbie Goulding as player/coach.
If you're talking wasted talent rather than wayward personalities then Lee Smith, Karl Pryce and Chev Walker look to have wasted their rugby talent and potential. You'll be able to add Joel Tomkins and Kyle Eastmond to that list too. Also Iestyn Harris would have been the greatest RL player of his generation and was less than half the force even when he came back from his own wasted years. |

A player from the past who had outrageous talent and a good career but could have achieved more with a bit of, er, discipline was Mick Crane.

Sweet Jesus, I'd rather not. They're a solicitor's dream.

Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

Simon Haughton. Happened to find he was very good at playing rugby yet had little to no love for the game and as a consequence never reached his potential.

No, the AIS – so it was the England Academy under 17’s not 18’s
Although I seem to remember that the AIS had 7 players who represented the Australian Schoolboys that year
James Graham and Karl Pryce were by far the best players on the pitch |
