Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3501338, member: 1899"] There were a couple of points I wanted to make with that list. Mainly, just to show how we got to this point. How some clubs have really struggled with the position, the challenges they've faced and how ultimately you get clubs like Brisbane or the Cowboys who had to sign a veteran because it didn't work out for them. Also you can see players who were expected for bigger and better things but didn't kick on like CHT, Ash Taylor, Jake Clifford, Kane Elgey, Brodie Croft etc. A few of them could pull a Hastings and come good but a few of those careers are officially done. Putting that list together unlocked so many memories. I remember St George's 2014 recruitment drive and being a huge fan of it with Gareth Widdop, Tyson Frizell, Leeson Ah Mau, Josh Dugan etc. all signing up. I really thought Sam Williams could be something there too, only for him to be dropped by Michael Witt who I thought had long since retired since he took an eternity to ground that ball in the 2008 final vs. Melbourne. Another editor's note I wanted to make is that originally I tried to make it clean as possible. So originally I had it where if it didn't work out for the first choice halfback (eg. Jacob Miller) I didn't bother who ended up filling their spot. However by showing the struggle, it illustrates how clubs have poorly managed the position. [/QUOTE]
