Great post 60's, it's exciting to see where we are as a club compared with 3 years ago. Especially with recruitment and retention, i will be bitterly disappointed if we let Pauli go, i think the kid could be our Taulmalolo and it took him 2 or 3 years of first grade to find his feet. I know we can't keep them all but him Tep, and Junior are the 3 must keeps as far as i'm concerned.
Great post sixties.
There have been several players to go to other clubs and succeed but in recent times, I believe our retention / recruitment has been very good?
In recent times we have let go of such players as MK, KK, Johnno Wright, Fui, Blair, Horo and Loko.
Have any of these guys gone on to be world beaters? No.
It must be one of the most difficult jobs and involve a bit of guess work when it comes to retention but we have done reasonably well imo.
I also agree, we have to look at the bigger picture and remain patient. Hell, it's been almost 30 years, what's another one?
At the back end of last year if you had of told me they were moving Tep into the middle i would have thought you were on something. But the kid has gotten so big so quick and still just 19. Arthur will have no other choice i think especially with out back row for next season.
