One Season Wonders

[rabbitohs95]

Just having a thought whilst reading over the article on Andrew Everingham signing for Japanese Rugby, that he was a one season wonder last year scoring 17 tries in his debut season, but this season had suffered from the 'second year syndrome' and barely made the team this year.

What players have had incredible debut seasons for your club but have never returned to their form the year after? Tim Smith for Parra in 2005 is one that comes to mind.

Tim smith had a pretty good season in 2007 as well but from then on failed to live up to expectations

Brad Godden from the knights

Does Terry Campese qualify or is he a two hit wonder?

 

[RedVDave]

Richie Williams, although he is probably more of a one game wonder more than anything.

I was going to say Mitch Piss but he's never had a good season.

Jamal Idris of current players.

The big one for me was Paul Hauff, the 7ft giraffe from the broncos who killed it for them one season back in the nineties.

Indris was very good this year. Just didn't get the publicity for it like he did with Canterbury.

I dunno, winning the Golden Boot Award in 2010 was a fair achievement. He was very good until 2012. That's when it began to fall apart.

I'll pay that.

He's had more good seasons than you have.

I was going to mention this guy, my second favourite non Canberra player of all time.

But he was more than just a one season wonder. Great stuff Ewan McGrady.

Leon Bott & Denan Kemp both had one good year on the wing for the Broncos. Brett Firman killed it for Saints in 2003 and never really kicked on.

 

[Red Bear]

Firman and Head never really came close to their debut seasons (Head started pretty well in 05 I think though), in both cases injury a big factor which was a shame, Mat Head could've been a top player I think (is reportedly on the way to being a good coach as well).
