Has to be Bateman for me judged 80% on field and 20% off field.

Stefano just pips him off field, but when he occasionally played like he cared he had a few good games.

I thought Bateman was slightly more acceptable in a few games early on, but when he was captain and played dumber than the rookies I was sold. Dud.

Of course he wasn't the problem, it was the young guys. Just ask him!
 
Can we rename this poll, "who do the haters on this forum hate the most"? Utoikamanu obviously played well enough to earn a gigantic contract offer from us. Instead he's off to Melbourne to try and win a premiership. He will almost certainly get his chance. It's bizarre and lame to think you can call him a dud. If he's a dud, then we get rejected by duds. But sure guys, whatever, duds, fine.

Some will never learn. Endlessly bash our best, highest paid players then watch them flourish elsewhere.
 
Not surprised that Stefano is on the list, but I don't think he belongs on it.

Klemmer as the most senior player to me has been the worst. He should have been the one leading the charge at training. For his experience and stature in the game, I am very disappointed in his efforts.

Bateman, a close second.

Sezer, Olam, To'a and Tupou as well purely because of lack of game time.
 
This is easy. Bateman. Rueben Porter was an upgrade on him.

If Stef wasn't leaving I don't think he'd be in the top 3 here. Underperformed slightly, but also played well before all the contract talk started.
