Lyon.
Did anyone on here think he’d be as good as he was? Especially when he rocked up about 2 stone overweight

Maurie Fa’asavalu
Dominic Feaunati (for a spell)
Nik Fozzard - became one of my all time favourite props
Paul Anderson
Leon Pryce - didn’t expect him to be as good as he was for us at stand off
Dom Peyroux after his 2nd season
Peter Shields
Darren Britt
Hooper
Faasavalu
Bryn Hargreaves was one I thought “wtf have we signed him for” after we’d had Stuart Jones and Ricky Bibey, who were awful but he was decent for us for a spell and I remember wanting his contract extended when we let him go.
St Helens Rugby League Football Club
Not sure if he's been mentioned but Apollo should be on the list imo.

Big Al as well.
From part time at Batley to what he is now
Derek Mcvey
McVey was one of my fave players we've ever signed - especially as no one over here had ever heard of him at the time.
I ate a tuna sandwich on my first day!
He only ever played 82 games according to Wiki.

I mentioned him in the opening post. Like you say, nobody had ever heard of him, yet he tore some teams apart with running great angles and a superb offload game. He was amazing in the Derby game at KR in the magnificent 1996 season (one of my favourite ever games). Pickavance weren't too shabby, either.

Can't wonder why nobody has mentioned Turbo Darren Albert one of the best wingers to play superleague.
Wasn't he a junior sprint champion or something? I remember him going about 80 yards at Valley Parade when we battered Bradford and thinking he was the fastest player I've ever seen.
