Bostock got a development deal from the Dolphins when he was playing SG Ball for us. The club should have already had him on a junior contract, but were late to notice his potential.
Was it late to notice potential or was it more "she'll be right mate" attitude
Just being slack and no attention to detail and thinking as you said Ayios - "she'll be right mate we have this guy in our sights". Little did they know that their short sightedness did not see the older gentleman with the balding head shaking hands with young Bostock on a deal to join up at the Redcliffe club.
he is a liability in the centres, better winger..
Yep and Cowboys let Kikau, Ponga and B Smith go . It just happens .
Yep this is what I mean, he had a big wrap but looked ordinary in nsw cup.. There was a couple of other blokes at the time that were decent... I forget the exact timing of lomax, aitken and there was 1 other i forget and don't feel like looking up which year they came thru.. I dont think I'd considered Garrick as a winger or a fullback at the time..
Possibly Patrick Herbert at the time had big wraps, played mainly centre with Garrick and also filled in at Fullback and 5/8, played very well at Fullback if i remember correctly.
Herbert was the one.. I thought he was our man, centre or fullback.. Massive x factor.. Think he was captain too.. He was the one I wanted to keep.
Same problem with Canberra's Schiller. While I like Schiller and Garrick in attack, Schiller particularly , like Sloan, is a grabber in defence. Not totally sold on Jack Bostock for the same reason. Sometimes the recruitment and retention staff get it right.
