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.

Hayne had half a good season in 2009 and has done sweet f**k all since.

Ricky Stuart 03. Well Gus and Murray put the team together. Fittler also ran the team for that year.

Following from above coach wise Hagen - took the Woks Newcastle the final step first year then backwards from then on.

Back onto players I have to agree with those saying Denan Kemp. I thought he was the next big thing at Brisbane and was excited when he signed for the Dragons the other year after a couple of years in the wilderness. Never got to see him.

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

mate I think he still plays in some games.

Most players that have a poor second year are coached poorly or have personal issues. Can't call a bloke a great coach if he doesn't know how to compensate for eventualities

:lol:

I like how your butt still hurts deep within.


Nathan Gardner is a good example that was raised earlier. I think his size hasn't helped, with the little men being driven out of the game by the "athletes" of today.

Carl Webb whenever it was.

 

[Jason Maher]

Carl Webb was more of a one hit wonder...

 

[betcats]

It was a wonder Carl Webb ever played a game.

 

[gUt]

A one hit-up wonder? :lol:
