Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3557174, member: 1899"] Matt Prior was one of those sunk-cost fallacy prospects who seemed to get picked based on potential and never really stood out. For years he was only known for elbowing JT in the head. Then in 2016 him and Fifita form the best front row combination in the competition and he ended his career with an Origin cap. Steve Matai when he came over from the Jets was a total liability from the Sea Eagles. Constantly took the wrong options and made the simple look challenging. However season by season the number of good games would outweigh the bad to the point where he and Lyon were head and shoulders the best centre combo in the competition. I was led to believe Steve Renouf couldn't catch the ball, couldn't tackle and looked well off the pace in his early Bronco days. Then it was like a switch was flicked and he was one of the best centres of his generation. Wouldn't say elite but I didn't see much in Glenn Hall or Mark Minichiello until they joined Manly and the Gold Coast. Parker took his game up another level, but he's one of those players that was better than you remember. I had a similar impression as you theshed, but anytime I go back to 2003-09 his work stands out to me more. Where does a Terry Campese fall in a list like this? [/QUOTE]
