Not sure about the worst ever but in recent times Wigan have been hit hard. Denis Moran, Stuart Fielden and David Vaealiki were all players who fell well below expectations.
Warrington had the same with Michael Sullivan, Matt King and Michael Monaghan.
In Australia, Brett Kimmorleys move to the Northern Eagles was supposed to kickstart that franchise but he left after an unimpressive year to join Cronulla and the franchise folded and returned the licence to Manly.
When Parra dominated the NRL comp in 2001 and blew the Grand Final, they signed Adam Dykes who had been one of the stars of the season with Cronulla, and Andrew McFadden as replacements for the retiring Jason Taylor and Michael Buettner. Neither fit in and Parra struggled.
