I said Dallas Meade because he came with an injury and after several false starts he played about 20 minutes for a lot of money, Dick Turpin couldn't have done better.
Anyone who says Wedge was a poor signing is taking out of their rear. Very under-rated, especially by some Wire fans.

No way should John Wilshere be in anybody's list.

How can I miss you, if you won't go away????:17064.jpg |

| Any candidate should surely be rated on an expectation basis, which rules out a lot of these already mentioned, especially the Anderson/Plange era signings, as most were unknowns on arrival and so were expected to be pretty awful anyway.
On an expectation basis 2 stand out for me....Andy Currier, who arrived as a so-called World Class centre and left as a complete let down and Steve Roach, who arrived as the best and most feared prop in World Rugby, and departed as a massive anti-climax, only showing some improvement when Les Boyd arrived mid season and allegedly told him to shape up and stop taking the club and its fans for a ride....  |

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_12937.jpg |

We should've signed Wolfman, for the PR, like. |

No-one is saying he was never a decent player, I'm just saying that when he ran out for us for the first time, I thought crikey he looks like he's been dragged out of a bar somewhere. Too old, too fat.

As Emo Philips said "You don't appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked every day by a middle-aged woman: Stuff you pay good money for in later life.:12130.jpg |

anyone who says Matt Rodwell knows nothing about RL - a good player surrounded by crap and guilty by association with the worst coach in our history. Same poeple who had a go at him and his family probably did so with King and Monas in France - kn0bs

Can't believe there are some numpties on here calling Mike Wainwright. Deary me today.
It would be intersting to expand this as 'worst value signing' because I suspect Sullivan would win that hands down. So much for so little.'"
numpty ? 
this is a thread based on PERSONAL opinion |

Kevin Crouthers
Steve Madden
David Kidwell
Leon Felton
Matt Rodwell
Matt Sturm
Doc Murray
Anthony Swann
Paul Marquet
Jon Hill
Dean Hanger
Dale Cardoza
Mike Watts

Not when that opinion is massively wide of the mark. Wainwright was a solid professional and never gave less than his best for Warrington.

 ........But these guys were bad PLAYERS, not bad SIGNINGS.....anybody with a half a brain knew they were not going to be world-beaters.
The likes of Currier, Steve Roach, and of late, Paul Rauhihi, are the type who should be berated on this thread. |
