Worst Big Name Signing

[mickqld]

There hasn't been many dud major signings over the years at Manly. Just watching Fox Manly vs Dogs 2017. Gotta say Nate Myles is my pick for biggest lemon signing.
Any others ??

 

[Cochrane]

Andy Goodway

 

[MuzztheEagle]

.........Barrett......

 

[mave]

Penn

 

[Captain Moondog]

Brett Kimmorley

 

[bob dylan]

Elwyn Walters
Ray Higgs
Kevin Iro

(I am waiting for someone to say DCE, I know its coming.)

 

[DUFFMAN]

That title use to belong to Craig Field but Trent Barrett has stolen that award

 

[The Wheel]

Andy Goodway

Yep Great Britain captain- spent more time running sideways than defending

 

[Briza]

Field gets my vote, so much hype att with little delivered.

Hugh Waddell

 

[Ryan]

There was a Newcastle knights player around the early 2000’s can’t remember his name he was a 5/8.He was a disaster.

Myles immediately springs to mind.

John Devereux is another. Like a lot of Pommy outside backs, he found the going a lot tougher here in Australia where players actually knowing how to defend was a must in the pre U/20s graduate days.

You don't mean Chris Bailey do you??

He did play in our 2009 WCC win over Leeds.....but no matter how many times I have seen that, he was definitely conspicuous by his absence that game.....and for the rest of 2009 for that matter.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Elwyn Walters
Ray Higgs
Kevin Iro

Ray Higgs sprung to my mind too. I think he only played a handful of games early in the season and then got injured and never heard from again.

Bernard Dwyer
David Vaealiki

 

[NZEaglesFan]

He was so bad that I "forgot" the name of the Kiwi International we signed few years back from Penrith

 

[Jigzkiller]

Dallas Rennie

 

[Supreme Leader]

Lafeta Palesaasina officially has the longest surname in NRL /ESL, Kiwi international who never made a name whilst at the Warriors
