Why do we?
It always seems to be next year at the min i.e these young lads will be good next year, we need to wait until deal run before we can replace dross etc.
If we lose Zak and French, then the blame lies at the feet of IL and instead of "wait until next year", he needs to sort it out for this year.
We have clearly lost site of a strategy when it come to recruitment over the last few years.
The last thing we need to do is compound the issue further by signing players who are not of the quality we need on to 2-3 year contracts.
Most quality players have long since been signed up.
The NRL market is very challenging in the current Covid climate and domestically who is going to part with quality players?
We either pull some aces out of the pack or go as we are.
Would be a terrible move to bring on players as a knee jerk reaction and prolonging the “transition” yet further.
