Somewhere in the dust of time rest the bones of the Galilean
He who was spat upon. He whose face was marred beyond all human likeness
Somewhere buried among the lies of the past rests the tomb of Yeshua
Of he who was made God in a world without Hope.
And when this son of Joseph is found. What then will the Church of Rome say?
Prepare yourself for the day is coming. And men will say
"Blessed are the wasted lives who perished in the flames of the holy war": |
|
| Graham Holroyd must be a candidate as well.

That could be him- he was very young and was supposed to be the next big thing but was truly awful.
As for graham holroyd- well looks like he could well have been poor off the field let alone on it

| Whilst all the players mentioned may have been full timers in the SL era most of the names mentioned were first division players playing in SL. It is not their fault they played above their level because that is all we could afford.
Most of them would have been on £15k and a win bonus so to criticise them for being made to look rubbish by the likes of Farrell or Sculthorpe is a bit unfair. They tried their best playing above their level.
If you were to look at those who were the worst with their performances, divided by games played, pounds £ per game and reputation i doubt we got our moneys worth out of O'Donnell or Faalogo.

| Ryan Clayton anyone?
I watched the 2005 season review last week to keep me sane, we played some good stuff through march, thorman, drew and gene. Saw Clayton on there and couldn't really remember him doing a massive amount, also what happened to jonny grayshon?

| Jaime Simpson
Dave Hodgson (Great finisher but everytime ball went near him I cringed - sure some will argue)
Benny Custo (couldn't make touch from a penalty)
Matt Whittaker (had all the attributes but has to one of the most unnatural player's i'v ever seen)
Michael Korkidas (only for us tho)

He was a great player for us. And was still doing well at HKR last year.

Exactly, superb player and possibly the best finisher i've seen......that's what he was paid to do and he did it, very well.

| Its all down to opinions.But I would hardly call him a great player, great finisher I totally agree. but he was found wanting in defence on more than one occasion and he was pretty shocking under the high ball. We paid him to be a rugby player not just score tries. Otherwise he would of only trained two days a week on finishing. Like I say its down to opinions. I wouldn't swap any of our current crop for him in his hay day.

| But this is a thread about the worst five Giants players in the super league era. whatever anyone's opinion on David Hodgson it is totally insulting that he would be on anybody's list. come on we have had some awful players represent us in our early days that are not fit to lace Hodgsons boots

| Just looking up on Hodgson. He is the fourth highest try scorer in Super League history behind McGuire,Senior and Wellens

| I agree- Hodgson wasn't the best winger but he was a VERY long way from being anywhere near the worst!
Someone's memory is failing!
