@04 Dreaming two of the kids Gus apparently signed and people boasted about have now been spat out Gabreal and Montgomery.
Alamoti was the best and most dominant junior in the system for years. He gained so much attention that Politis went to watch him and Khoury signed him to an NRL deal our current Chairman and Leader of the Club. Alamoti finally gets into the NRL under the watchful eye of Gould after being signed up by Khoury and he's gone before he hits 20.
We've had good juniors, good pathways teams and good junior leagues for decades. It's been long set up. What we haven't had is the NRL coaching, the right recruitment & retention at NRL level and the patience at NRL.
All these juniors now probably not as dominant force as Alamoti was. So it's a lottery who comes off and who doesn't.
Gould is working towards the 5yr extension.
