Well, I’m not a talent scout and I’m certainly not across all the options, that’s the clubs job and they are supposed to be across that, you can’t tell me there not out there, 2 years ago when we were adding the Woods, Browns etc, players like Willison, Halasima Mooney and others were trying to break into grade, give them a shot and they’d come cheap, at the right moment.
I’d imagine Seibs is involved in the process, recruiting, maybe as a first grade coach and the one responsible for building his squad, he should be across the up and coming options and or assisted by someone who is, some capable of identifying the talent.
Seems like, we have become the pension boosting village for old forwards, it’s crazy, there discards, their never going to bring the energy and ability to build on, we seem to be so stuck in the past, where it may have worked for us when the game wasn’t played at the speed it is today. Players like Galuvao, Gillespie, Perry, etc, bought that, but even they would probably struggle with the pace of the game today, the games just different now and that won’t work anymore.
Seems, the Warriors have some good young bulls, the Roosters likewise, form what you read, Penrith have a massive Junior nursery, they can’t use them all, even if there next tier options, they’d probably offer move than the likes of Woods, Brown, TKO and Co.
I’m sure there out there, asking me to identify them is like me asking you guys to run the country, it’s not my job, but if as a footy fan, who’s played and watched the game for over 50 years, I can see where the games heading, what you need to compete and how the clubs recruitment is light years away from understanding what will work and what won’t, gee, I don’t really know what else to say, other than standing by what I previously said.
