Throughout the years, rugby league has seen many young talents rise up and become some of the greatest players the game has ever seen.
However, there have been some that although they looked promising in the beginning failed to live up to the hype.
Donโt forget to comment your thoughts and opinions below.
Blake Austin
After making his debut with the Penrith Panthers in late 2011, Blake Austin proved himself as a capable five-eighth, playing 13 games for the Panthers in 2012 before getting injured.
In 2014 Austin made the move to the West Tigers where although his game time was now limited he still was in most peoples minds a great young and up and coming half that had been mistreated at the Tigers many believe.
In 2015 Austin moved to the Canberra Raiders playing some of his best football in 2015 and the first half of 2016, even being a front-runner to be selected for New South Wales in the 2016 State of Origin game one.
However, since then Austin has fallen off the radar with his weakness in defence being exposed and the Raiders as a whole failing to meet expectations in 2017.
At 26-years-old, Austin is still capable of turning his career around but only time will tell.
