The opposite of disappointing players… this is about players who arrived at the club with no fanfare of expectation .. but who surprised you and became a favourite
Three for me:
New Years 1984 saw a young scrum half debut (I think at Leigh)
Nigel Bell
A few years later a young Aussie full back trialled after playing ( I think) at Ackworth
Chris Perry
2004 and an influx of players including a journeyman from Widnes, debuted at full back and looked awful
Jason Demetriou
