Do we have any young guns?

[Milky]

Do we have any players coming through SG Ball who look the goods at fullback or 5/8?

Our Holden cup tem is going terribly, the NSW cup side not much better. We will be building from the ground up.

 

[momo_amp_medo]

No

Young guns haven't worked thus far. Banking on youth has never worked for us. Even in 2005 our side was tempered with plenty of experience.

How about some experienced guns.

How about some **experienced guns.**

Problem is attracting them to the club CB. Glasses off, who wants to play for us?

Do what you've always done and you'll get what you've always got. Banking on the kids to develop a dynasty will not work for us. We'll continue to languish while other clubs henpick the quality kids, and we'll end up in the same cycle all over again.

Unfortunately until you offer sustained success you'll have to pay overs. Ivan gets us competitive and we look attractive to possible recruits.

One project at a time is fine, and maybe what Milky was asking about.

Suli is a good example of a kid you let develop in grade.

Our problem was too many overpaid kids at once.

In general, players to whom we offer more money than anyone else.

From the limited amount I have seen of the lower grades this year, the stats and their position on the table I would say no.

Heaps…it's why both teams bombed in HM and Ball this season on the end of 40 pt drubbings most weeks..by 2022 we will be good to go

 

[Flippedy]

Please no more putting all our stock in players with potential! I'll be happy if I never hear that word bandied around our team ever again. It's time for the club to focus on buying seasoned first graders only!

Right now we don't need young guns! We surely must have proven by now that doesn't work???

We need some experience, we need hard nuts and we need players with passion for their team as well as ability.

Use Cronulla's template - the results are there for all to see in this modern era!

Nope, we've got nothing. The pizza box is empty.

 

[Sabre]

We should be looking at poaching the best U20s players from other clubs, rather than making do with what we have.

That's a good point Barra. We were all bagging Cronulla for pinching everyone's experienced first graders and not nurturing their own juniors a few years back, but now look where they are! Compare them now to us and Penrith who have the biggest junior base in the league. Both have gotten nowhere.

 

[bp_tiger]

yes forget building ur own
, it just ends in tears. just steal everyone else's.

 

[tig_prmz]

experience is so underrated

at this stage, i'd rather a 28-30 year old who has not achieved even a city/country jumper instead of a junior kangaroo who expects the world to fall at his feet.

 

[razor7]

No. Worst Holden Cup team the Tigers have ever put on the field

Cronulla have put enormous work into the Academy at Cronulla High School and this is reflected in their junior team results and selections into the NSW rep and Aust Schools Teams. Cronulla also buys good young players from Qld such as Valentine Holmes. We need a huge improvement in recruitment at junior levels and investment in juniors.

We should be offering scholarships to Fijian kids. Even if only 20% made it over we'd be sitting pretty and it would attract other Fijians to us.
