A Tiger mate of mine has often been embarrassed by the players he believes will go on to big things, only to find they eventually fail and he's left picking an old number off his guernsey. Notable failures that he's latched on to have been Todd Menegola (29) and Wayne Hernaman (11).
I myself have been guilty of singing a guy's praises too early - Wayne Peters (5) back in 1988.
I'd be interested in hearing from other Tigers which players they have thought would go on with the job but ended up letting them down.
