Vagana I guess maybe because people were expecting him to score a gazillion tries. I still think he had a solid year. He's starting to get some consistency and form on the board now anyway, and he's got something like 10 tries from 15 games.
Not a bad strike rate from a dud.
Contributing factors need to be taken on-board also.
Things like his interrupted off-season and lack of conditioning and match fitness, getting used to Kimmorley, having Phil Bailey playing inside of him, and of course Cronulla without a recognised 5/8 etc have not helped him one iota. Add Kimmorley missing about 10 weeks with his hammy.
He'll carve up next year. As for dud buy of the year, I don't think you can go past 5/6 the Parramatta forward pack. They are all duds. They still beat us though, so what does that tell you?
