As far as Im concerned we attracted Foran...a NZ international, Napa a Qld State of Origin rep, DWZ the NZ captain and CHN another NZ representative. Yeh your right...we cant get good players to come to our Club. We missed out on Ramien, API, Herman Esse Esse...sorry I missed what rep side they were in. Its obvious.....we cant attract the better players.....Yeh right. The drivel that so many of you contributors spew out of your mouths is just putrid. Give yourselves a collective uppercut.
Player managers determine where players go these days. They feed constant fake news to the media to create false markets for players and bidding wars between Clubs. Players may decide their preferred Club for any number of reasons quite early in the relocation process, but the manager will create false expectation with the non preferred Clubs just to extract a higher price from the preferred Club. This can go on for weeks or months.Thats why we put a deadline on Ramien. He was never coming to us, nor was Api, the Turbo boys or Mitchell.
