Second Year Syndrome

A number of talented rookies made their NRL debuts in 2014, how will their second year in the worlds toughest Rugby League competition treat them. Below are the 2014 regular season statistics for all the rookies I could find. I know some of the players have been delisted from NRL sides and I have not updated any players team colours if they have transferred.

Fullbacks, Wings & Centres 

A number of potential superstars emerged in these positions last year, such as Alex Johnston, Valentine Holmes and the Mata’utia brothers.

Halves

Allot of people will be interested to see if Luke Brooks can improve his defence. The early rounds are brutal for young halves who are trying to cement their place in a first grade side, the task is made even harder when the coach is under pressure, Mitch Cornish found that out last year.

Forwards

The second year is an interesting prospect for Hookers in 2015 with Adam Clydesdale and Michael Lichaa stepping up to first choice Hooker for their respective teams.
