On another topic i was discussing how IMO Bradford signing Harris is the worst signing in history.
He was well past his best but mainly the effect it had on Bradford, No money to retain Peacock, Vianakolo, Hape and the team collapsed, Sued by Leeds and the club is all but Bankrupt. Look at the state of the bulls before his signing. 2003 they were champions, 2009 and they are decimated with no real hope of return.

Anyone think of a worst signing?

If rumours are to be believed regarding Maurice Lindsay's contract negotiations involving David Vaealiki, then he must be up there with the way he turned out.

Also, regarding Wigan, the way we got rid of a young half back by the name of Sean Long to Widnes in a swap for Lee Hansen and gave them £50K(ish). Brilliant...

Got to say this is a top signing

Oh, and as far as downright disappointments go, John Gallagher to Leeds.

Lomdon Broncos, Mark Caroll. Had a dizzy turn if he had to stay on the pitch for more than 1 minute at a time!

Fielden must be right down there just for the size of the transfer fee and his amazing fall from grace after the move.

The Long/Hansen swap deal was a beauty aswell but unlike Fielden who was a world superstar Long was only a kid so you can understand it a little more.

That was the result of being smashed all over the park by the soft English forwards!

Wasn't that ended by injury though?
