And I do believe Jarrod Sammut was Adrian Lam's pick
Below has always been my understanding
Coach, Assistant coaches,Scouts etc. etc. all bring suggestions to the table - Players are discussed and proposals put forward to Senior Management
Areas of requirements are discussed by Senior management & Coaching staff and people are tasked with looking into those situations and again info fed back into the Senior management
What is categorically NOT DONE in the simplistic way put forward, is KR & IL just pick a player and sign him
Ultimately there is a budget that sits behind everything and KR is in charge of that budget
Of Course he will say we have a list of academy players coming through and contracts etc. what else are they supposed to say - We have no idea who's on what contract and for how long?
The explanation they gave at the last fans forum also explains why it has to be a more nuanced approach than "The coach picks a player and signs him".'"
Heaven forbid the club would be as professional as this. You know it's more fun believing IL just spins a dice and hopes for the best.

| Re: Goalkickers, I wonder how last year's ratio of goalkicking accuracy (Hardaker & Smith) compares with someone like Colin Whitfield who 'from memory' skewed some absolute whoppers that should have been nailed on.

Most likely they weren't watching anyone. That's the only explanation for an opinion like that.

Anyones who has an opinion which is that, isn't someone who is worth listening to their opinion

i know at times i am shocked at what some people post, and i believe that we should all be allowed to air our opinions (within board rules), but i honestly think this poster must have been watching someone else. i genuinely couldnt believe i was reading it and i've copied it in below
"Honestly, I think Botica was made to look a far better player than he was by the quality around him at the time. I can’t recall a single time he put a man through a gap. Though he could kick goals (ironically, we would still have won everything with no kicker at all...)."
we are talking about a player who started on the wing, moved to stand off and also played Full back for NZ. Yet, he couldnt play rugby ![Shoot Poster a026.gif](images/smilies//a026.gif)
