Years ago the parkes spaceman bought joel caine when he retired from tigers. They give him good money and flew him out from city each week. First game of year we played parkes in parkes and joel was all the hype........... we put 60 on them and the old parkes faithful chased that dopy prick all the way out to the airport. Lol

If we went back to 1995, then Garrick Morgan is a classic dud. Rated the worlds best forward but for the Crushers was a flop.

Jack Bird. Don't know what the Broncos paid for him but he's not looking like a good investment at this point. The Broncos are my least favorite team so puck 'em.
to be fair I reckon the Sharks made Bird look good.. I said before he went to Broncos that the overrated player he is will show at a new club

That’s very harsh. He’s had 10 try assists in 2018 which is only 2 less than last year. Hardly a dud buy.

I can't believe people are forgetting these 2:

- Chris Sandow: Absolutely KILLS IT for Souths in 2010 and 2011. Signs a long-term multi-million dollar deal with the Eels... and he ends up playing for the Wentworthville Magpies :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

- Ben Barba: Best season was 2012, practically handed to the Broncos in 2013 for a start from 2014, then gets released 12 months later.

That was because he compared himself to JT and Des fell for it LOL.. Sold himself like a used car dealer sells a lemon of a car to some teenager . I mean how the heck does anyone pass themselves off as a marquee level halfback yet can't even kick?

Agree with the first one but Ben barba is really talented. 2013 was a bad year because Des didn't value him and neither did the broncos. They had 13 fullbacks or something didn't they?

it could have been anything, someone should have secretly taped the board talking about the mbye contract would have been very interesting
