We have has beens in Tyrrell and Clark though plus Turner has downspiralled and look at the twins......

Burns and Jennings are rookies....

Gray and AR are made of glass....

When we won in 2014 turner, Clark, Tyrell and the twins were all in the side.

We had much classier outside backs and halves though however.

To me that suggests that there's a serious problem within the camp. The twins have been the biggest disappointment of 2017. I don't know what's going on with them but we really need them to fire if we're gonna have a chance you know?

Next year Souths need to stick with a spine. I like

1. GI
6. Walker
7. Reynolds
9. Cook

However I could deal with Gagai or AJ playing at fullback if GI wants to play in the centres.

Some big talking points for the off season need to be about Farah/cook, Sutton and strengthening our outside backs.

I don't believe we can continue on with both Farah and cook in the squad. I know who id be getting rid of as he is approaching retirement.

Sutton and fui can share the second row role but he should go no where near 5/8th ever...

Gagai is a good signing but we need at least 2 more outside backs who can run 100+ metres to help out our forwards who don't run any metres! Hunt needs to improve on his running game next season as well because he could be the next auva'a in a year or two more of development.

Between 1990 and 2006 Souths had terrible results

Between 2007 and 2014 Souths had a proper talent scout in Mark Hughes. The results got better and better each season until they won the premiership

Souths got rid of their proper talent scout in 2014 and since then the head of recruitment has been the former U20s coach and the former CEO in Richo. Results have gone back to terrible as they were in 1990 to 2006

It is not rocket science. Recruitment is No 1 and Souths need to appoint a talent scout with an eye for talent. Anything else will see a return to the dark days of 1990 to 2006. If this is not fixed ASAP then Crichton will leave Souths as he will want to play for premierships not spoons

Clark, Tyrrell and Turner imo have all declined..... FACT.... just like the twins.....

I like that spine..... we'd better not persist with Farah....

Yep Sutto off the bench......

That's what I meant about the potential Kahu signing, he is not the right fit to do the shit work or a metre eater..........

Correct re Hunt. I have been saying that for ages.....

Mark was always good to members and if you knew players and their personal circumstances he would consider what you had to report.

But he also insisted on positivity and so forth.

There would have been no 21 without Mark Hughes.

It's very difficult to name one player in our system who's improved in the past few years--if there's one I can't see him--IMO,they've all gone backwards to some degree!!!

I was thinking more of the players who have been on board longish term.

Who knows what will happen to the ones you list if exposed to Madge's coaching for too long!

There is already evidence of Walker being mucked around!
