The worst signing ever. : Mon Sep 10, 2012 9:17 pm  

With all this talk of new signings I thought I would ask the question.

Who was the worst Fax signing ever and why, this could be fun.

I'll start with the guy mentioned in another post Seuseu's brother.

Why because he was absolute pants and soon got the see you see you message.

Dane nerinyx or however it was spelt!!

Considering the size of transfer fee Grant Anderson has to be up there.

Dane Neiriiinx, spelling I know. His only claim to fame was peeing on the bar in jumpin jax. He was late here as he was backpacking or summat and then was $hit, he didnt stand out in an under 18's game in cumbria if i recall or summat like that. He would touch the ball twice in a game and when the ball was coming down his side his hands would go on his knees as he was tired.

Seu Seu had some skills but not the engine to go with it, he was gassed after 5 minutes so crap.

In that case Paul Medley beats him, then when we sold him he was awsome for Bradford.

Also anyone remember the big South African we signed who was meant to be the RL equivalent of Drago from Rocky!! Alleged to have the biggest kick in Rugby and Seem to remember he was called Cliff Brown or something?? Came from RU and was cack!! Think he played a couple of A Team games and played once for the first team at Thrum Hall v Oldham but was never seen again!!

Paul Medley and John Lyons came as part of the £120k transfer fee for Paul Dixon when he signed for Leeds plus cash so Grant Anderson was more. Based on £70k we paid for him IIRC

Plus we then sold Mecley for about £70k so we did good business from that perspective!! He just ended up being brilliant for them after being average for us for the bit of the season he stayed at Fax!!

Mark Brooke Cowden. New Zealand RU international who just didnt make it in league not even managing a first team game for us.

Jon Scales. I just remember him playing 1 game for us over at Cas and looking like he had never played the game before.

Kevin? Heckenburg. Just remeber him been distictly average and playing very few games for us.

Martin Meredith. Bought as a standoff broke his ankle early doors and ended up doing bad on the wing.

Lee Finerty -Simply for been the worst tackler I have ever seen play rugby.

Rob Roberts - Broke a window to play for us then was crap.

Not exactly a signing but one of the Aussie Macdougall brothers trained with us. I remember Johnny Lawless telling us a tale or two about him.

More recently players like Hesketh, Clayton, Ostick, Barker, Moore, Andy Smith are definitely up there for me.
