Awesome debut / rubbish career

[The Mad Hatter]

Firman and Head were so interchangeable, even the footy card people and the officials at NRL marketing got them mixed up in 2004.

Although they did eventually print a correction card.

 

[POPEYE]

Who's your meth dealer? Playing for NSW and Australia is hardly a rubbish career.

Exactamundo ol'mate, the number of times Ryles still gets a mention on here is a brilliant career even if he wasn't a great player . . . which he was

Prince Harada had an awesome debut which had trainer Tony Vasil glowing with praise,only for the horse to turn out to be the equivalent of Kade Snowden

couldn't live up to the great elvstroem

 

[BuffaloRules]

Has anyone mentioned Brooks?

In hindsight it was a good ploy for the Drags to run dead that day...

Oh, he's been mentioned. This year will be his breakout year or a ticket to the UK beckons.

A common mistake is over reacting when a player scores a couple of tries ( or even 4 as in Atkins' case). If people really watched what the player had to do, they would realise a lot of skill wasn't required.

A lot of good debuts are overlooked because the player didn't score a try or make 3 line breaks. It can be a case of the player just slotting in & not making mistakes which is more impressive.
