I was just curious as to which stars didn't become superstars straight away. By this I mean either
a.) They weren't really standouts in the lower grades but when they came to first grade they excelled in their position
and/or
b.) They played first grade for a few years and didn't dominate the scene straight away and then exploded.
Although he's not a superstar just yet I would think that Ben Smith from the Eels didn't dominate in the lower grades but when given his chance in first grade earned a couple of man of the match performances.
On players who played in the NRL but didn't dominate straight away until they exploded I would say Dean Widders and Anthony Watmough come into this category. However I believe Dean Widders excelled in the SG ball.
