Zak Hardaker, a Super League Man of Steel, had a short and uneventful three-month spell with Penrith Panthers. Before that, Gareth Ellis and Adrian Morley became icons at their NRL clubs too.Д«y contrast, Jordan Turner didn't last a season in the NRL after making the move. All the Burgess brothers became NRL champions, James Graham had a superb spell in the competition and Mike Cooper was a near ever-present for St George Illawarra during his three years with the club. Luke Thompson was a standout for Canterbury Bulldogs while Ryan Sutton, who was a squad player at Wigan before his move to Canberra, has succeeded with the Raiders. Likewise, British middles tend to have much more success in the NRL than their outside back counterparts. The likes of Dave Fifita and Luke Yates have starred for their clubs and Chris Satae has proven to be an astute signing for Hull FC.Д«ut when you consider clubs only have seven quota spots at their disposal, there simply appears to be safer ways to utilise those positions in a squad. Agnatius Paasi had a solid first year at St Helens and Elijah Taylor did well for Salford. It's not to say all have been failures, far from it. Zane Tetevano arrived at Leeds as a marquee player but spent as much time on the field as he did off it due to injury and suspension. Albert Vete and Korbin Sims managed 13 games apiece for Hull KR and were outshone by George King. Wakefield admitted the signing of Anthony Tupou didn't go as hoped after he departed just 12 months following his arrival and I apologise in advance to Warrington Wolves fans for mentioning Leilani Latu after his calamitous period with the Wire.Д®ven looking at last year's imports makes for pretty underwhelming reading. Ben Nakubuwai was ultimately released by Salford Red Devils, Darcy Lussick joined Toronto as a marquee player and ended his time in the UK on loan in the Championship. Hull FC made Frank Pritchard a marquee player but didn't justify the price tag, Nathaniel Peteru joined Leeds from Gold Coast but didn't see out his contract. James Gavet never quite hit the heights Huddersfield hoped he would, Frank-Paul Nu'uausala was a big earner at Wigan but never got to grips with Super League. In recent years, there have been many cases where overseas middles haven't lived up to expectations. When Sam Kasiano was inducted this year, he became only the third overseas prop or loose forward to be included since 2007, joining Grant Millington and Sebsatine Ikahihifo in that exclusive group of players.Дuring the same time period, overseas players operating in the three-quarter line have been selected on 23 occasions, 12 of the 28 Dream Team halfbacks during that time have been Australian and eight quota back-rowers have also been included. It's difficult to produce stats that instantly illustrate the point, but perhaps the best comes from the inductees in the Super League Dream Team.

But generally speaking, the impact of middles doesn't stack up with that in other positions. In recent years, many forwards with big reputations have come and haven't lived up to expectations.
