I was having a read about Rhan Hooper walking out on the Lions over the weekend leaving them a player short. It reminded me a little of Cayden Bethams departure from the Saints a few years back.
I know we had our own problems with Richard Osborne leaving us to try out as a punter at the US before coming back just as the season started. Terry Wheeler blamed Osbornes absence as the main reason why he lost his coaching job.
Tony Campbell also retired before returing a season or so later as well.
Stephen Pitt was another one who was drafted in the pre-season draft and played in a couple of practice games for the reserves before heading back to the police force in SA.
Andrew Wills might have left us early in one of the seasons as well.
Does anyone know any other players that walked out on us?
