Remember that random player?

Luke had a few decent seasons for Souths, I remember being surprised he didn’t do a bit better for us in 2007. Didn’t kick on at any clubs after us either, but played 72 games throughout his career.
Ben I never rated, but credit to him, he played 81 games of first grade.

Credit also to the fourth brother Scott, whose career ended in the lower grades when he was selected for a drug test, jumped a fence and ran off into the distance.
Got a two year suspension for not giving a sample and never played again.

To keep on with the outside backs this bloke always comes to mind when I think of a random player that played for our club, Lenny Beckett.

Tim Glasby.
Another Storm forward that didn't live up to expectations elsewhere. Do acknowledge he had concussion issues later.

John Schuster
Former ‘All Black’ (originally from Western Samoa), Schuster's strong runs down the flank and radar-like goal-kicking set Knights fans cheering for more during the heady 1992 season. Despite setting two early club records - greatest career points and most points in a season (152pts in 1992), both bettered by Andrew Johns - Shuster spent most of the 1993 season in reserve grade and he shifted to English club Halifax at season’s end.
Great player! I don't know about him spending 1993 in reserve grade though, I thought he was injured in round 1 and then ended up going to England before he was able to return? This try was from round 1, hard to see him getting dropped after this:

Gosh knows what prompted me to remember this? Craig Smith.
He was the guy who saw cracks in our younger forwards earliest, kept giving them a boot up the backside and they didn't respond
Wish we'd had him for a lot longer! Fantastic player.

He really helped bring Dan Tolar along.
Good guy for a no frills player until his knees gradually gave up on him
