I recall our player Russell Gartner, he had one season early in his career when he was basically untouchable, got picked for Australia and played well. But he never really was able to recapture that form, from memory. Not sure why.
Alot of players do. Jarryd Hayne, he'll do something occasionally brilliant but he'll never recapture that same run of form again from 09. Brett Mullins lived his entire career off a 10 week spell of brilliant footy.
We could take lots of guesses why it happens, but there are plenty of people who get paid a lot of money to figure it out and they don't seem to have found an answer either.
