NAME A RANDOM/FORGOTTEN PLAYER

[prattenparkchild]

Pat Polotini was another one of the WT understudies that never made it. Stuck behind Fatah went to Sharks from memory and never went on to anything.

One has to wonder how many of these stars in waiting at WT really should have been. We seem to badly missed the increase in size of players both forwards and backs and persevered way too long with capable but small players when other clubs went to size.

John Wilson

Well worthy of a mention. He scored some good tries during some very ordinary years prior to 05\. Got to meet him a year or so back at a course I attended. A really nice bloke who spoke highly of the Tigers and the time he spent there.

How was he a "hype boy"? he played 20's in the same team as Groat then quit to be a builder and has never been spoken of since.

Sam Latu played a few games on the wing I think
