Roby splits opinion....just brilliant or World Class?
Roby splits opinion....just brilliant or World Class?
Learned comment from The Don
Interesting thread... sure to divide opinion, but a bit of fun and lighthearted banter
I'll probably think of more soon - and trying not to repeat others above, what about:
Jamie Foster or Adam Swift on the wing (Meli a good shout above)
Vinny Anderson or Joseph Paulo at 2nd row (Dom fair for pre-Holbrook)
Tony Puletua is probably another one for consideration. He had a lot of good times with us and overall a decent player for us. But he used to get some real stick from those around me. One old guy in particular who never made a noise other than when Puletua was hiding in the line. "He's so lazy he wouldn't shut your gate on the way out".
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
Really good players those 3 but I seem to remember them picking up serious injuries when we needed them most Britt broken eye socket, Fairleigh damaged shoulder, Cayless think it was broken ribs. But in my opinion wouldn't have them in the "Marmite" category compared to Josh Perry for example who couldn't bring his NRL experience into Superleague.
Goldspink was excellent for us, he just decided to sign for Wigan and that's why he started getting stick.
The biggest marmite player I can recall is Harry Pinner, he was a genius of a player and a brilliant tactician, but always got stick from the crowd.

Played in a Challenge Cup game when they were pre season and left shortly after, Was signed from Castleford. Had some good games for Cas and I was excited at signing him at the time. Something must have happened for him to leave so suddenly.

Michael Smith, signed from Cas, arrived overweight, played in a friendly at Widnes and was awful. Same season we signed Anderson and Lyon iirc.
Was someone thinking of Darrell Trinall, that arrived then never really played and left again. Signed with Phil Adamson, i think.
Darren Smith was one of the few highlights in a poor 2003 season, didn't he end up with an international recall, due to injuries when Aus were touring?
