Whether they are returning from injury, making their debut or being given a second chance, here's the Top 10 surprise players of 2017.
Has anyone else surprised you so far this season?
Paul Vaughan
St George Illawarra Dragons - Prop
Born on the 23rd of April, 1991, the Italian made his NRL debut for the Raiders back in 2013 and left his mark with a debut try and, for his all-round efforts that year, was named the Raiders rookie of the year. 2016 though was a different story. He was dropped from the first-grade team by Ricky Stewart after a lacklustre season in round 18.
Come 2017, a new contract and a fresh start, the 27-year-old has found his feet and made an impact helping his team find some form seeing them sitting comfortably in 4th place on the ladder. Pinning him up beside the great props of our game, no wonder why heโs giving the NSW selectors headaches this year. He has himself 3 tries, 1 try assist, 400 total tackles, 1961 ARM, 191 all runs with 180 hit ups and 28 tackle breaksโฆ wow!
For me, although the NSW team did an amazing job in game 1, he definitely should have been selected replacing someone, I wonโt mention, from the Tigers. Paul Vaughan is a beast!
