One of my biggest gripes is WT poor recruitment plus the incorrect use of the bench (Sheens has never really known how to use a bench correctly).
Why didn't someone with half a brain identify J'maine Hopgood (24 years old) from Penrith as a future NRL star with the WT.
He has been a sensation for the Eels and would have sorted out our troubled lock position.
WT should look at local juniors from Penrith, Canterbury and Eels as it is not a big relocation for players to head to Concord.
If Hunt goes to the Titans maybe some of their halves should be approached as they have some talent in their ranks. Hunt and Foran might be the preferred halves. I appreciate Foran losses a lot of games through injury but reunites with Hasler in 2024.
Also Warriors appear to have plenty of halves depth and maybe some of their Australian players want to come home to Sydney.
WT recruitment reminds me of the classic Del Amitri song "Always the last to know"
If Tommy and other players are being moved on this season let's not play them again in the NRL and give players like James, Matamua and Reilly a taste of NRL with an eye to 2024 and beyond.
