Just watch.

Neil Henry will sign some bog average, over-the-hill half from England as the replacement instead of developing junior talent.

The man knows how to spot promising young forwards, but that's about it.

At the Cowboys he tried these players in the halves:

- Travis Burns (maybe ok as a hooker or lock, not a 5/8th)
- Grant Rovelli (not 1st grade quality)
- Ben Jones (who? you ask...)
- Anthony Watts (talented player, total dickhead of a human though.)
- Arana Taumata (talented player if he could stay out of trouble, but better as a centre)
- Ray Thompson (not 1st grade quality, turned him into a hooker, we lost Segeyaro as a result)
- Michael Morgan (good player. Henry stunted his development by moving him between halves and centre)
- Robert Lui (despicable human being. Played like shit while Henry was here. Improved markedly under Green)

Point being, Henry can't coach or develop halves. Sorry guy - you're in for some tough seasons...

A lot of this isn't accurate.

Henry never moved Morgan to centre. He played there in QLD Cup but that has nothing to do with Henry.

What Cowboys junior talent did he overlook? Apart from segs, who isn't a half.
