Hard to know until they start playing some games

But overall it appears good as it seems we had a strategy and stuck to it

However was disappointed we didn't go for a KPP

Hopefully all the mids we picked up can add some beef seeing 3 of them are under 80Kgs

Here's a thought Tiges send them around to my place for a BBQ - I'll stuff 'em with steak  ;D

Have to wait and see. Pity about Polec but Conca is similar.

Last year I was worried and most turned out. I guess we have to put our faith in our recruiters.

We certainly cant accuse them of picking the popular choices.

I thought it was okay. Not the spectacular like last year but not complaining.

Happy we picked up a ruckman a defender in Batchelor and a third type of fwd player in McDonald to add to the

Gourdis and Grimes we saw late last year.

Very impressed, names out of left field but all appear to have excellent skills and no ragdolls amongst them, good strong bodied players who will develop even more over time. An obvious strategy to recruit players who can play the modern game rather than the plodders we have recruited in the past  :clapping

Pretty much agree with that, just got a nagging feeling that we have paid overs for Conca

Have to wait and see how they turn out, their bios look ok and the selection committee didn't really bauk in their selections very much which would suggest that they got who they were after and were well prepared. Good signs.

Seems that way  :thumbsup

Wish we got Lycett with 30 and Farmer with 47.  Content with it otherwise.
