this.
Feke, Hiku, Taukiaho, etc. our coaching staff probably wouldn't get a job in another nrl club.
also, our scouts are shit.
wayne Bennett said in his autobiography that he hangs half his Broncos success on Cyril Connell, legendary scout who unearthed all their best players.
"Our scouts are shit" yet those three players you mentioned were scouted and brought into the Warriors system.
Feki has proven to be solid - but nothing worth crying about. They had Locke, Fish, Konrad who they had chosen over him to keep.
With Hiku he should of been kept but at the time they have locke, Fishi & at the timer rated Omar - still overweight and very loose player.
Taukieaho had two broken legs and needed to get out of Otara and grow up.
Tell me who the scouts have missed - got most. Probably for mine is actually ensuring that the 2nd tier of talent because guys like Niukore & Maumalo might be the ones who become NRL players
NAS & RTS are probably the biggest. Roger was in one of the biggest bidding wars when he was at otahuhu college. Nelson Solomona was probably viewed to be the next sam lousi - to big and lanky but has worked really hard.
The other two wellingtonians hookker Sione Katoa & Danny Levi.
Again they had Havili so those players wouldnt of wanted to sign with warriors.
Dont worry i have been very critical particularly during the Ackland times.
But at least they arent just picking the obvious talents like Johnson, Hurrell, Lousi etc
The kids coming through seem much more humble and balanced .
eg Kata, Roache, Lino, Bunty Afoa etc.
