For current players - Finucane and Cook (obvious). Also Reid Mahoney. And Morgan Harper seems to be doing rather well, doesn’t he? He was given bugger all games in FG at Dogs. R Smith had plenty of chances to prove himself and didn’t.

Another fella that was with us early 2000s I would have loved to see get a chance was a guy named Maitua Parkinson
Yeah I can’t believe he never kicked on- anytime I saw him in reserve grade he looked the goods. Always thought he would be an nrl mainstay

This is a tough thread because when balancing a salary cap, sometimes u need to release great players
But there are some obvious mistakes, like most ppl have mentioned, these were terrible:
Holland
Thurston
Ennis
Cook
The last two are astounding considering the player that was prioritised, who a few years later can’t even get a deal in England

On a more serious note - Craig Smith (the front rower not the winger) was with us in lower grades in the early 90s
I wish he had stayed
