**Taniela Tuiaki** (aka - TNT) - best tank on the wing ever.
**Simon Dwyer** - wow poor kid, I had him down as a Kangaroo 2nd row hands down, and the Tigers would have been one of the most feared clubs to come up against with Dwyer still playing,
**Jacin Sinclair** - an aggressive centre with size and speed this kid could have been anything.

Was going to name him and a few others. Blake Lazarus , Murdoch-Manila, Mullaney & Obeid Kharwin.
I think the award goes to Mitchell Moses. Never has reached his potential and given his attitude, never will.

Coached against a few of those boys running around in the video from the nineties and surprised Sinclair got that far carrying the weight of such a big head and time not stroking his ego.
Dean Collis - burst on to the scene but never kicked on.
Chris Lawrence - Injuries have cruelled him but could have been an origin lock for 10+ years
Bronson Harrison - amazing talent although he never reached his full potential
Matt Groat - Huge Wraps on him but could never reach the level

I've watched NRL my whole life and to keep it short…
Krisnan Inu, Jarryd Hayne and more recently..... Our own Moses Mbye.
All the talent in the world but just seem to coast through games and never kick into gear and try their best..
Frustrates me.

Yeah you can add Frank Pritchard to that list. Devastating player on his day but would rarely put in, except when it was against us of course :unamused:
For us, I think Craigie would be the standout. Immense talent, all the skills, but lazy and very inconsistent. Others would be Collis & Ayshford for similar reasons. Laurie couldn't cope with the demands of football and life in general. If he had kept his head he could've been anything! Tuiaki & Dwyer for the tragic reasons already mentioned and Lawrence & Galloway for persistent injuries at inopportune times.
I agree with the person who mentioned Moltzen also. Injuries were very unkind to him and he just didn't have the same confidence playing after so many setbacks, but you could see that he did have a lot of skill and speed underneath his uncertainty.

Its funny some players have that look that they aren't trying , probably Mark Waugh is the greatest example modern day Australian sportsmen
I suppose the issue was (As Mark Waugh put it ) that they made it look so easy when they did get it right
Maybe that was their top gear ….....
Its the blokes who waste it on the booze , don't give up the bungers , don't work hard at training etc that are the annoying ones

For us Dean Collis and Bronson Harrison I feel were let down by poor coaching at crucial stages of their career.
Collis was stuck on the right side where he had John Morris feeding him no ball for 3 years. Guy had the skills to be a first class center.
Bronson was woefully misued by Sheens. Went from being a 16 year old playing U/18s for NSW in the centers to playing first grade prop within 3 years. If he was kept as a wide running backrower would have been a great asset for us from 2008-2014.

These guys aren't Cronks and Fittlers.
They're appear disinterested and go missing. Never inject themselves into the game… Whereas u got guys like Billy Slater and Latrell who go out and get involved, make themselves known to the enemy.
The different between the two types of players is blatant and frustrating.
Hopefully Mbye can change and be more active. Cos I wana see him succeed.

Did Farah and Marshall go as far as they could? Around 2009/2010 I was expecting them to go to the level of Fittler, Lockyer etc but I don't think they quite got there.
