When people talk about quality recruitment they have to be able to list targets. You can't just sit there and say "our recruitment is shit". When the reality is that you can't just go up to people under contract and be like "come to Souths for 400k a year." Somebody needs to start a thread about people off contract they would target and I guarantee that they wouldn't come up with a good list. There are no good players off contract, they're all depth players. DiegoNT was very good at this. I saw some people on here complaining about the knights signing heighington and griffin? Seriously?.. all the good players that are contracted are waiting on cronks decision and probably don't even know they're about to be moved on.
I personally think Souths are doing well with the players they've signed so far. They're not all going to light the world up but they're better players that Nielsen and Tyrell. In addition to this nobody saw the emergence of Crichton, Murray, fuimaono and Graham coming. What's to say these other props we have won't be even better?
Richo is doing a much better job than we were doing in 2014, 2015.
