Just because I can, I thought I'd try to run together a list of the great patches of form that I can remember from players that weren't necessarily always world beaters. Throw up some other names, the few below are ones that sprung to my mind 1. Jarryd Hayne 2009~ 2. Amos Roberts 2004~ 3. Jack Reed 2011~ 4. 5. 6. Terry Campese 2008~ 7. 8. Sam Moa (2013-2014) 9. Michael Sullivan (2004~) 10. 11. 12. 13. Nigel Plum (2014) 14. Dean Widders (2005~) 15. Dayne Weston (2012~) 16. 17.
I vaguely remember David Simmons having a stupidly good year circa 2013. Ben Barba probably deserves an inclusion somewhere.
I've probably been a bit liberal with 'wild run of form' and putting dayne Weston down, but there was a season there that he was running for 100 odd metres, 10-11m per run with 30 odd tackles off the bench. I remember Scott Bolton being a weapon second rower one year too, Gavin cooper esque glbut arguably better. Then they seemed to pack 10kg on him and make him a front rower. Joe Galuvao probably another. Untouchable in 03-04, went to south's where he could barely get a start, I'm pretty sure think they tried to slim him down for more minutes.
All sorts of weirdness in 2001. Preston Campbell as Dally M winner. Mark Hughes as NSW fullback after playing there a handful of times. Jamal Idris came to mind as well, I remember one season he was battling with the likes of Inglis and holding is own and then only one or two later he was awful.
02-03 Richard Villasanti, went from being a bit part player at struggling teams to a grand finalist in 02 and had a monster year in 03 making the Australian side and stole all his teammates cash on tour.
