It still doesn't make sense that we'd tell De Gois, Pato and to a lesser extent Taufua to go and find a deal elsewhere. Everyone's saying how good a coach Wayne is and I don't disagree with that, but De Gois and Pato especially could have been anything with Wayne guiding them. I guess I'm just a little cautious as to what exactly is going on. I've mentioned it before, and not that I thought it would be a steady stream of class players coming here, but we've only signed two players since the Tinkler takeover. If we miss out on Boyd, which it looks increasingly likely we will, we're still missing an X-Factor that could/would win us a premiership.
this is my feeling on the subject, too. the cleanout money is going somewhere.
All fair points, but how exactly was Henry going to hang around for three of four years on spec waiting for Soward or Hornby to get injured for a shot? A TC player of the year is going to itchy trigger fingers career wise. That is a fact that gets discounted completely when people argue Bennett may not rate Henry.
yeah, this was my understanding when it happened. the Dragons - with their cap pushed to the limit after signing Gaz, had a choice between keeping Stanley and Henry - as both attracted a lot of interest. they sided with Stanley, we got Henry. i think theyir choice was as good as any, Stanley has shown he is a star of the future. he's also had the advantage of coming on from the bench in the comps dominant force. Henry has had something not far off a baptism of fire. when he was played in favourable conditions, he aquitted himself very well. Mullen was dominant and running the show against lacklustre competition... all he had to do was take opportunities and set some up at his leisure.
