  • interesting interview....seems like a very simple straight forward man.

    You cannot make a talent scout, it is something that is inate, they see things that others dont.

    His judgement on Dyllan Brown was very decisive and he rates him the best defensive half he has ever seen.....shame that was not enough for our experts on here  (and that is not a critique of us losing him) just the simple aspects of player judgements we see repeatedly on this site and I presume others just like it......the fans and the public in general are the worst judges, unfortunately they vote with their feet and that's what makes humanity such a difficult game to play.

    • Poppa, I have no issues with the defence of DB; but I have continually said as others no doubt that he was paid on potential alone while at Parra; good luck to him earning the $1 mill plus. Ponga and Luai for example imo have shown a lot more than he has; and I think they have all played a similar amount of NRL games. Brown had the chance to play with Moses also.

  • I remember he recruited joel caine at the saints but made a mistake it was danny buderas he was after

    • Not correct,  he talks about that in the interview.  He could only sign one and chose Joel Caine,  he admits buderas would have been a better choice. 

      • Joel Caine himself said they thought he was Budearus. They brought him to Saints to play Hooker, when he wasn't playing well they said "Are you home sick?" He said no way. Then they put up video of Taree playing and said how do we get this out of you? He said well to start with that's Danny Budearus not me.

        • Exactly...i was right

          • No, watch the interview,  he said that story is bullshit. 

        • He said that story is not true.
