Renouf Atoni, Dean Britt, Christian Crichton, Will Hopoate, Sione Katoa, Tui Katoa, Lachlan Lewis, Jeremy Marshall-King, Nick Meaney, Dylan Napa, Ofahiki Ogden, Jayden Okunbor, James Roumanos, Ava Seumanufagai, Chris Smith
Of the above 15 players off contract at the end of this year if we end up re-signing more than 4-5 of them at anything beyond minimum or close to minimum wage (Atoni, T.Katoa, Meaney, Okunbor, Seumanufagai) our recruitment team will have FAILED big time in my eyes.
How we got to this stage of the season playing like we are and we still haven't signed (maybe even "identified") good up and coming minimum wage replacements for most of them totally amazes me. What the f..k are they doing / waiting for ? Are they waiting to see if we can go any worse ? Do they seriously believe some of these no-hopers are suddenly going to become star athletes who deserve multi year contracts ?.
I'm glad we reportedly put a temporary freeze on re-signing any of them but frankly this shit should have been sorted well before now. Is it really that hard to find multiple players who show good promise but are having their pathways blocked at other clubs so are looking for a new opportunity ? If I were doing this recruitment job fulltime I would think my boss would have expected me to sign a few players by now.
It's highly likely now that even if things don't improve at all we'll be re-signing the MAJORITY of this lot simply because we're f..king desperate and our recruitment team haven't been doing their f..king job obviously.
If we don't win another game this season and none of these 15 turn into Superman (as expected) what number of re-signing of these 15 will it take for you to feel our recruiters have done a crap job ?
