Recruitment thoughts

So obviously a lot of talk around recruitment for 21 and beyond looking from the outside it looks like people should not hold their breaths for a marquee signing.

Last year we added Matterson, RCG and Blake (mid season) this recruitment period appears it will be about squad depth and player upgrades in some ways it's about trusting player development (questionable with our coaching staff) 

Mostly there is a lack of high quality players available that will improve the team no point spending money and panic buying look at the tigers roster as evidence of that.

It's a risky approch but with a bunch of 1year deals it puts us in a position to make a play at any quality targets that may become available 

Our best 17-20 if there is enough improvements will be enough to get into the 8 if we get hit buy a few injuries/suspension/rep duties we will be up against it.

  • Apparently Roberts will be going to the knights and Bradman Best will becoming to Parra. I'm sure we are in talks with a few good players. Next year will see a few jnrs start coming through development pathways. Plus having them depth players will help. 

    Think some people just need to be a bit patient and stop carrying on like idiot's. 

    • Why would the knights let Best go?.

      • He has 2 more years on his contract

        • Contracts don't mean anything wile

          • Hope you are right.....

                  .....but it sounds like a Russian disinformation campaign

      • Not sure to be honest, it's just what I've heard. Hopefully it's spot on. It might have something to do with Roberts signing with them. Which isn't confirmed yet either. 

        • Best is a left centre roberts a right centre,  it doesn't add up but I hope you're right. 

    • That would be good if it happened.

      Thankfully French has signed with Wigan so that rumour can be put to rest
