the club offered luke bailey 80,000 more than he was offered elsewhere...he rejected that
mason was made an offer and rejected that
berrigan likewise
we ended up with darren mapp a reject and ben ross a reject and tevita latu and ben pomeroy.
the latter two will be worthy buys, ross well we will have to see if he is a worthy replacement for stevens, personally i think he would need to improve markedly.
tell me the last really good player cronulla unearthed either as a local junior or a junior bought in from another area, over decades our recruitement is pathetic, be prepared for more of the same in coming years unless the board is rissoled!!!
clearly when compared to other sides our roster is sh*thouse
yet raper has them in the 8 when ricky stuart with all his resources doesnt!!
yet raper cops the sausage week in week out from backflip and has been etc!
weird!
