Quote: Smith's Brolly "Perhaps, but if they weren't, why did were they here. Lets be fair, 12 months ago these players were twin grand finalists so not as if they were picked up from the home bargain reduction bin. The players we might recruit could very well be though.
Perhaps, we don't seem to be afraid to flash the cash. We believed we could bring in quite a few players over past few months. Some we know names of, some we do not. We've offered to make players the highest paid in super league, only to be turned down. Until we know why, it would be hard to explain what has gone wrong.'"
Sims and Gidley did a reasonable job but now need to move on. The others apart from Hiku and Savellio were always fringe players who have never been good enough. Don't get me wrong our recruitment has been shocking under Smith. Hopefully that will change now.
If we can appoint Maguire and with the money we have and the cap space available I think we become an attractive proposition for some NRL players.
