Clay Priest (2016-2017) 31 Games
For two short years, Clay Priest was a no-nonsense prop in the Canberra Raiders’ front-row rotation. He was a useful cog in the machine until he wasn’t, but every time he pulled on the jersey he did the job required of him.
However, that was the problem. He was just there. There was no flash or pizazz about his game. I mean, he did not even score a try in his entire 31 games. That says it all.
Priest had been around the block for a while too before making his long-awaited debut. After 26 years of praying every night for a crack in the big time, Ricky Stuart handed him his first game.
It’s a wonder Ricky even knew who Priest was, seeing as Clay didn’t even have his own player profile on the club website until after he was named to debut.
That’s the stuff of Mediocre NRL Player: Legend Status.
