There have been a few players who have failed to live up the the Kennel hype.
I remember Marvin Karawana was apparently the next Benji or something like that. He went to newcastle and played a few years as a utility and back up player. Didnt get much field time though. Its good to see Daniel Harrison finally getting some first grade at Manly. Looks to have bulked up and not getting smashed as much, reminds me a bit of Hindmarsh. These guys are probably not the best example of players that didnt make it but they failed to live up the the Kennel hype who had them as all stars.
Namila Davui was another was. Was a seriously fast player. Was named to debut for the dogs cause Hazem was injured or back up for origin??? Cant rememebr but he ended up playing and Namila never saw first grade. Also another one was Brett Howland. Was one of the fastest players in the league when he came to the dogs, played half a season of first grade then spent the next 2-3 years in reserve grade.
