There's only one thing worse for a young player than being a coach's son - and that's being a recruitment manager's son.So it's been a tough road for Sean O'Sullivan, who at 23 is already at his fourth NRL club.But the son of recruitment guru Peter O'Sullivan was the name on everyone's lips after the season opening game, starring for Penrith in the upset win over Manly.'Sully' played his best game in top company, filling the massive boots of Nathan Cleary with ease.He was involved in three tries in the Panthers' 28-6 win and his kicking game and game management were top notch.Finding a back-up for Cleary could have been a problem for the playmaker's dad this year - but in 80 minutes that headache is gone.O'Sullivan came to the Panthers on a bargain-basement contract - and after one round is an early contender for buy of the year.
