Best overseas signing, biggest overseas flop?

Post by The booze hound »

I can only remember back to the mid/late 80's so these are my suggestions.
Best - Gene Miles/Trent Barrett
Worst - David Vaeleki
Best union convert - Inga

Worst-Doc Murray,Shem Tatupu
Best-Brett Kenny,Dean Bell
Best Union convert- Agree with Inga but Scott Quinell would have run him close had he stayed and lets not forget Frano

We've gone thru all this several times :exc: :exc:
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Surely new users would not know this though and I don't think it is fair we discourage a thread they have started.

Best - Miles
Worst - Too many
Union - Inga

Fair enough. It just seems that new threads eg; worst player/ kicker etc are being repeated on a regular basis
