    Jason Taumalolo not only rose out of no where, he promptly returned there

    Not sure how anyone can say Lillyman declined overnight. Or that he's never been any good. He's one of the best impact props in the game. Averages well over 10m per run from the bench. And despite his impressive numbers as a starter last year, it's obvious he's not suited to it.

    Round 26: 7 hitups, 61 metres.
    Round 25: 5 hitups, 48 metres.
    Round 24: 11 hitups, 100 metres.
    Round 23: 6 hitups, 50 metres.
    Round 22: 11 hitups, 89 metres.

    I'd probably say he averages well under 10m per run?
    Y'know. Just looking at the stats and all.

    Anthony Quinn to an extent.

    I disagree.

    Quinn has been declining as a winger but increasing in value as a utility.

    Best one I've heard is Joe Galuvao. Him & Pritchard were the Paul Gallen of 2003, then they became ordinary very quickly.

    I reckon they were on the juice. I remember one try from Galuvao that was unbelievable, he deadset carried 5 over the line.

    I always thought it was him and Puletua. At least those 2 and Marty Lang were the players I thought of when I thought of Penrith in 2003. Thought.

    Yeah, my bad. I was thinking of Puletua.

    You should know all about specialist bench players who suck at starting.

    After re-reviewing the stats from the last two years I concede that was generous. He averaged 9.1m per run this year. Though, I've gotta say, it's pretty ridiculous to assess a bloke based on 5 games, especially when 4 of said 5 weren't even from the bench.
