Paul Taylor has to be stand off. Played 20 minutes, knocked on, kicked out on the full and then went off injured. Never played again.

I disagree Leaeno being the most pointless, surely that goes to Proctor?

Proctor wasn’t a pointless signing just a poor one. Qe needed someone in his position just not him. Leaeno just wasn’t needed in the first place and then was rubbish when he got here as well.

Didnt he rupture knee ligaments

Think Southerns name on the list is a tad unfair on the chap ,made a name as a good second rower in NRL then get put in as a prop when he gets over here

Think it was his ankle, I was at the game. Expected big things from him. Unfair to have him on this list, maybe in the unluckiest list.

Id agree with you on that.

Although I didn't see all of his games for us, what I did see was someone who tackled hard, and always seemed to win the collision, and I think putting him in at prop, just broke him

Re: Worst overseas signings : Sun Oct 15, 2023 2:00 pm  

1) Matt Seers
2) Jorge Taufua
3) Vince Mellor
4) Peter Benson
5) Matt Peterson
6) Julian O'Neill
7) Harry Siejka
8 ) Jarrod Hickey
9) Albert Talipeau
10) Clinton O'Brien
11)
12) Anthony Tupou
13) Kevin Proctor
14) Jeremy Smith
15) Robert Piva
16) Ronnie Trautmann
17) Brent Todd

Seem to re-call that Southern went okay for a while so have taken him out, so who replaces him at 11 then ??
Have also swapped Siejka to 7 and put Talipeau at 9.

Re: Worst overseas signings : Sun Oct 15, 2023 2:06 pm  

Re Seers, Wiki has him at either fullback, centre or stand-off...can't remember him personally, so where did he play for us ??

Re: Worst overseas signings : Sun Oct 15, 2023 2:45 pm  

Matt Seers started his career at full back then moved to centre. He was rapid and played State of origin.

Played centre for us but I do recall him playing full back atleast once.

He was always in town, a massive let down for us.

I wouldn't put Seers, Benson, O'Neil or O'brien on there.
