No. Gus needs to go to NZ to get some sheep so when the Kiwi boys come over they will feel at home. First things first.
Bulldog officials already go to NZ to poach kids, bulldogs got million feeder clubs
Any here now to look out for?
From memory a few were flown out to play in jun rep trials - didnt quite measure up at the time so didnt stay or it was just part of the process of giving the game time see how they were progressing.
Nasheed here,
Yes lots of powerful individually talented players @ Warriors. However very few are capable of leading a team around the paddock. Their individual athleticism & line breaking ability, often wanes once they hit 25-26yo in NRL standard games. One of the key reasons the Warriors lifted from 15th to 4th this year, is Shaun Johnson is in the team, playing a pivotal role to steer & lead the team. Most of these big units have a limited repertoire of skills & often have little success in NRL without a ball playing leader beside them. Tony T Rex Williams was a good example.
