20. Ian Sibbit (2002) (20 games, 3 tries) – Muppet Murray’s recruitment of English centre/second rower Ian Sibbit from Warrington was a major flop and after a disappointing season, Sibbit would return to the Wolves the following year.
19. Fifita Moala (2000-04) (39 games, 20 tries) – A former rugby union player before joining the Storm, Tongan winger Moala was very much a fringe player in his five seasons with the club, where he would usually fill in for injuries. However, for a fringe player he had a very good try scoring rate. Moala was never seen in the NRL again after Round 2, 2004 vs Newcastle at Olympic Park (the game where he dropped the ball cold over the try line).

I remember the wraps the fans had on Moala the Koala. He seemed to have that try scoring magic.
