I've thrown a few in there myself. The likes of Dane Nielsen, Julian Rinaldi, Lauaki, Gaz Carvell and JP Baille all stand out as players who could have offered much much more (some actually turning out would have been an improvement)!!!
Some good shouts there. Oscar Thomas a classic example, very occasionally v good but mostly poor.
Herbert gets a few mentions but despite him being the slowest halfback ever he had more try assists than any other player in the squad that season. A bit of an indictment on the rest!
Some poor recruitment choices there in the likes of Lauaki. Thought Sculthorpe was unlucky with injury. They never even flattered to deceive.
