[Cowboy_4_Life]

How about 1 career wonders - guys that had a great career and then drifted off into obscurity...

jason martin....his rubbish rugby league career doesn't count

 

[muzby]

ritchie williams 2007 doesn't count.

he had one good game. round 1.

after that he was stone cold awful.



ben ross has to get a run in the team.. he's still dining out on his 2004 season to this date..

i'd also say barba for sure..

maybe uate as well..

Eddard Stark

this deserves recognition..

 

[roostersrule2]

Eddard Stark

He was going well but couldn't keep his head on at the backend of the season and ruined it.

Bevan French - Feb 6/7 2016

 

[Johnny88]

Jack Elsgood Manly 1993?

 

[TheVelourFog]

Paul Gallen 2011

 

[duck]

Eddard Stark

haha

 

[blaza88z]

Ben Barba by the length of the Vaal straight, surely

Also Shane Perry was never a 1 year wonder, he was simply playing outside one of the greats

 

[Usain Bolt]

What year was Carl Webb good? Or was it just a few origin games

 

[Tommy Smith]

Barba scored 23 tries from 24 games in 2011 - the year before his Dally M Medal.

So he's more of a 'two season wonder'.

 

[muzby]

colin best also scored 20+ tries in a season..

didn't make him a superstar player though..

 

[RedVDave]

Did Bott and Williams really have good seasons?

Or was it more like a couple of decent games?

Bott had good season IMO, but your right Williams is a massive stretch would have one good game followed by a shocker followed by another good game and then another shocker. If his attitude was half decent he could have been potentially been a good player but a complete merkin from what I have heard from all accounts.

Can't believe no butthurt roosters fan hasn't suggested RTS yet

It was just a few good runs really.

Bott's first 14 or so games in 2005 were awesome, but then by the back end of the year he got found out massively. He was an absolute liability when the team went from 6 points clear in 1st in round 19 to losing all of our remaining games and finishing 3rd (straight set losses in playoffs as well).
