Players that never returned to reserve grade

[coach]

Has Reimis Smith returned to RG yet? If not he's probably the latest one

Near impossible to find this info, so what you need to do is just think of the big names. Guys like Slater, JT, Smith, Cronk, SBW etc. I know for a fact that players like Utai and Mason DID return to RG after making their FG debut though. In fact IIRC Matt Utai spent 3 months in RG back in 2004 (the year we won the comp) and he played a big part in our GF victory!

Pretty sure jt went back at some point too
