The other two only joined in January last season too. They both signed for more than one season but whether the slowly slowly approach for the others is so they don't get too homesick and can acclimatise to sydney gradually?Great that Herman is still around. I like that our middles/props coming through all seem a little different in build/style of play. A lot to work with moving forward.
It really must be a QLD home issue with Dotoi if he doesn't return. Will be a shame not to see him back.
Interesting that out of all the QLD recruits from last year, the least talked about player was the one who ended up with a train and trial this year (Tempest).
Tempest was the only one who stayed in sydney without returning to qld (at least no extended stays back in qld) after sg ball finished, so perhaps we was rewarded for his commitment and also had more exposure to the broader nrl squad. Although he played centre for wests he was always more of a back rower. Not a flashy player, but a solid and reliable type.
