Fletcher had the world at his feet. A run of shocking injuries did for him. Jason smith said he was one of the best runners of a line of attack he had seen. Was fairly quick and a was a great ball handler, a goal kicker too. Very unlucky player.

Think he maybe also suffered from the fact he had what it takes to make it as very good player but didnt seem to have the attitude to put in the graft to make it, maybe this was down to injuries or lack of any real mentoring.

I always liked him , but such is life I guess.

Fletcher was unlucky with injuries, but his discipline was also suspect IMO. Needlessly gave away a fair few silly penalties that had a habit of being costly.

shame about the injuries, when he came on the scene i thought we were looking at another lee crooks for a while

Brett Turner was a really good prospect who we sent on his way He was much better than Lee or Hall. Its a pity he wasnt focused. Having said that those of us who watched Tommy Lee and Scott Moore rip the Aussies apart really believed we had the best young halfback going. Just look waht the club did to him. Turned him into an average utility player.

Brett is on trial at York atm,after spending the last few years playing alongside Mark Hewitt at west hull.

You can't turn a top class half back into an average utility player. If Lee was destined to be a top player he would be one. It's the same as the old Craig Hall argument. He wasn't turned into a turnstile, he was one all along.

I think Lee's biggest problem was the size of his head,he beleived his own hype,wether or not that could have been nipped in the bud and managed better i don't know. But what i've seen of him in his early days he thought he was a Hollywood superstar,i also think there were issues with his ability to follow a game plan when he was younger,wether or not that was down to his over confidence i don't know.

I still think we only gave him a new deal at the time because of all the young girls buying shirts and having Mrs Lee emblazoned on the back!

Nail on head there, i know a girl (work with her) who used to date him and said their relationship was a threesome, her, him and his ego !!!
