Still early days of course but i believe Sheens chose a lemon
Didn't we re-sign Woods and Groat over Fifita and Gibbs? Maybe Sheens saw Woods as a brighter prospect than Fifita..he certainly wasn't wrong there IMO. I don't think it was ever spelt out that Groat was chosen over Fifita, we simply kept two and got rid of two.
Doesn't your last sentence contradict your first?
Sheens was quoted saying that couldn't keep all 3 (Woods, Groat, Fifita) No one disputes keeping Woods for obvious, but choosing Groat over Fifita was a bit mistake
What are you on about?, I really don't get your first question. Feel free to explain.
You were the one who made the statement that Sheens chose Groat specifically over Fifita.
As I said, there was never any direct evidence that we gave up Fifita just to keep Groat, we got rid of two and re-signed two that is all.
Groat hasn't even had a proper crack at 1st grade yet because of injury…give the kid a chance to play before you judge him.
As for Woods, I cannot recall anybody at all on here that was overly excited that we had re-signed him at the end of 2011, everyone was pissing and moaning that we had got rid of Bryce but Sheens made the right choice by keeping Woods at a time when nobody else really had the foresight to see how great of a player he was gonna be in such a short space of time
