Lichaa by a million miles. Not sure howanyone else could think otherwise.
His arrival coincided with our demise. I would argue he’s the worst 1st grader of all time. Think about it, a hooker who cannot pass. Just so bad and quite sad how it’s cost the club.

T-Rex should not be winning this pole.

You cats crazy?

T-rex was bought to be a wildebeest to punch holes on the edge, which he did sometimes but was obviously largely ineffective.

However, that doesnt stifle the attack and influence a game the way a spinal player does.

This is why its lichaa,
As i exclusively revealed, he cost us Ennis and then cook.
Without lichaa, Ennis goes 2 more years, the second year (if not the first) he has super sub Cook coming on and we have an Ennis/Cook trickshot combo in 2016. in 2017 onwards he hands over the baton to Cook and shakes his hand and then Cook do he thang he do but for us.
Then we get another backup hooker that would probably have been reed mahoney.

The consequential collateral damage was likely the biggest in the history of the NRL.
At least when we punted thurston we had decent players standing there, not a Lichaa dud. Who i am convinced only played 100+ games because no one was willing to admit the mistake after game fiddy.

T rex may or may not have cost us finucane, but i dobt think finucane was that highly rated back in the day, but even ig it was, it was just one player in a position that doesnt have as much impact.

Lichaas signing , and the salary cap drama, were the two catalysts that have ruined us since 2016.

Trex still made Origin, made a line break and scored a try or two.

Things turned to shit when we signed Lichaa..

Trex, woods, napa, dwz, foran, lichaa

Some pretty piss poor recruiting right there.

Letting go of cook, ennis, rona, finucane and tapau were shithouse calls.

By that logic you must have voted for Hasler who had to be instrumental in those decisions.

Posting this anonymously due to flak.

For me, Lichaa.
His presence causes the death of Ennis and Cook for us.
The collateral damage of his signing was potentially the worst in the history of the NRL
What do you mean anonymously? Just because you didn’t write Nasheed here at the beginning does not mean your post is anonymous, your fucking name is still in the header you moot!

It’s hard to pick as they are all duds. But I went woods because he was a big priced recruit. And had it not been for splurging on him there could have been a chance we had Tedesco and/or Moses.

Also not only that but he didn’t even last a season and we ended up chipping in his Pay for the next 2 years after he left. Horrendous signing.

Trex did nothing for us. But Atleast we didn’t pay the flop to play elsewhere (probably would have been better off if we did :p)

Thar list is scary enough. Team it up with players we let go/lost. And I’m surprised we still have so many healthy fans. There must be good cardiologist out Bankstown way :p keeping everyone going

The significant thing is the sheer number of disastrous signings.

Worst period I’ve seen at the club.

Des Hasler and anyone associated with him, also a special mention for Noel Cleal.

I voted for TRex over woods only cause we endured 5 years of the ****
But I think woods pound for pound
Never rated him before he signed and still don’t

At $1m+ per season, Foran wipes the floor clean with the lot of them

She rex was the worst player easily, but lichaa had the worst effect on the team coz he prevented us keeping Cook or even Ennis for a bit longer.

Hasler wins by a long way IMO cause without him none of the listed duds would have been at the club.
