Many of you may remember this guy from last year. Loads of potential but failed to shine in his one chance.

Brumbies player on bail
ACT Brumbies rugby union winger Henari Veratau has been bailed by police after being charged with robbery following an alleged attack on a taxi driver.
The 20-year-old was arrested and charged by Canberra police with robbery and taking a vehicle without authority.
He was expected to face the ACT Magistrates Court this morning.
However, the director of public prosecutions Angela Smith said he was bailed by police overnight and ordered to face the court on March 23.
"He was bailed from the watch house some time overnight or early this morning," she said.
"He wasn't in custody this morning."
It's alleged a 38-year-old taxi driver was dragged from his seat after an argument with a passenger over a fare at about 6am (AEDT).
The taxi had just dropped off a woman in Lyneham in northern Canberra and was allegedly directed by another passenger to continue to Kingston in the south, police said.
An argument over payment followed and the male passenger dragged the driver from his seat and fled in the vehicle, police alleged.
Police and the dog squad found the missing taxi about half an hour later in Canberra's north-western suburbs.
Veratau, making his debut with the Brumbies after playing league for the past two years, was stood down from the upcoming tour of South Africa as part of the Super 12 competition.
ACT Rugby Union head Rob Clarke said the organisation was extremely disappointed about the charges and had set up its own internal investigation.
