Hype That Amounted To Nothing

[ningnangnong]

Basically a thread to reminisce about players from the past who were meant to be hot shit but ended up doing pretty much nothing.

I'll start...

Joven Clarke.

Whatever happened to that little speedster?

What about the Paul brothers?

Yeah I remember that, yet they never played NRL (well not that I can recall), and were always poor in test matches against Aus.

[Aeetee]

Dude was the sniz dawg.... he we to the UK and played over there.

 

[pennywisealfie]

what about Brett "The Next Wally Lewis" Seymour. where the **** did the media pull that from?

Robert Tanielu
Joel Moon
Willie Morgansen

 

[Jeza23]

Karl Filiga (changed his name to Karl from something which I cant remember at the moment)

Was supposed to be the next SBW and the sharks paid massive overs for him and hes done absolutely nothing

I'm with you man. Motu Tony is the shiz.


Brent Webb also, but, he's killing it in the UK.. absolute favourite player of the fans there.

Roy Bell... lightweight souths speedster now playing in the QCup

 

[ethos]

Robert Tanielu

Wasn't he forced to retire because of a serious neck/back injury?

Guys for the Broncos..
Ben Czislowski - he was rated quite highly by a fair few yet turned out to be absolutely terrible.
Fraser Anderson - talked up because he had brothers who could play, is now over in Japan.
Richard Swain - pretty good for Melbourne, ordinary for us.

And, is it too early to put Corey Norman's name on this list? [icon_shady
