Err, Scott Lewis was good. He definitely shouldn't be on this list.
He just wasn't Wally but he was never said to be so.

Alfie Songoro maybe? Not sure many here will remember him.


I remember we played Wigan at Central Park

Songoro scored from in his own twenty.

That was it other than that.

Truthfully I ve seen all of the ones mentioned so far play and by a mile proctor is the worst.

Clinton o brien came injured and retired when he couldn’t cut it - unlike proctor who hung around like a bad smell
Brent Todd was a massive disappointment ten yards and fell on his belly but when you watched him before and after in nrl that’s what he did - think we thought we were getting the next mark graham
Robert piva was like a lot of the signings we made big guy plenty potential but then had that horrendous injury - at dewsbury I think

Lino Foai was another big disappointment - we’d signed the next jona Lomu apart from one run down the wing he did zilch

Side show bob was on a par with proctor , but don’t think Wally Lewis younger brother was much better


I seem to recall Piva being injured at Doncaster, when Jamie Bloem slid feet first into Piva, hitting him on the head, I think that had an effect on him.

I seem to recall that when Wally came over he stated that, "If you think I'm good, you want to see my brother". Wouldn't agree that he should be in this side, but he was only very average.

Think Southerns name on the list is a tad unfair on the chap ,made a name as a good second rower in NRL then get put in as a prop when he gets over here


Isn't that the same as Proctor.....

And burned Jason Robinson for pace, had hands the size of pit shovels but couldn't catch the ball
