Message: [QUOTE="Unbreakable, post: 3067470, member: 8290"] I was looking through some old Rookie of the Year numbers to try and determine if Haas has had the best rookie season ever. Personally, I think he's had the greatest rookie season from a forward ever, but there's been some seriously good rookie years from halves & outside backs. It's going to be [I]very [/I]hard for anyone to surpass Tim Smith's rookie season. 2005 - [B]Tim Smith[/B] (Eels) - 26 games, 6 tries, 5 line-breaks, 40 try assists, 23 line-break assists, 6 offloads, 32 tackle breaks, 24.7 running metres, 16.9 tackles, 1.4 missed tackles 2007 - [B]Israel Folau[/B] (Storm) - 27 games, 21 tries, 15 line-breaks, 4 try assists, 2 line-break assists, 9 offloads, 79 tackle breaks, 79.6 running metres, 10.5 tackles, 1.5 missed tackles 2011 - [B]Daly Cherry-Evans[/B] (Sea Eagles) - 27 games, 7 tries, 9 line-breaks, 19 try assists, 30 offloads, 115 tackle breaks, 57.1 running metres, 23.4 tackles, 2.8 missed tackles 2019 - [B]Payne Haas[/B] (Broncos) - 18 games, 4 tries, 6 line-breaks, 0 try assists, 0 line-break assists, 13 offloads, 89 tackle breaks, 184.6 running metres, 28.4 tackles, 1.0 missed tackle Notes: * Tim Smith's 40 try assists is the single season record for try assists, still hasn't been broken. Lead the Eels to the 2005 minor premiership. * Israel Folau's 21 tries were the most by anyone in a rookie season (later broken by Vunivalu in 2016 with 23). Won the 2007 premiership with the Storm & became the youngest player to ever play for Australia. * Daly Cherry-Evans won the 2011 premiership with the Sea Eagles & represented Australia. * Payne Haas represented New South Wales, 2+ games remaining in his rookie season.
