How do you not see the talent of Paseka, Addo Carr, Korobiete, Papynhuyzen and also not be able to keep Tedesco, Moses, Aloai, Matterson etc.
Don't start all that again. Tigers saw the talent in those players, by definition - Koroibete, JAC, Aloiai and Matterson were scouted by Tigers. Tedesco only left for the call of the Rooster and Paps left because he was stuck behind Tedesco.
Paseka was the only one they really didn't seem to think would come good, and in fairness it's taken Manly 5 seasons to get him going.
Please do not ever mention Mitchell Moses, that gutless hack.
The issue remains when players come good or have obvious talent they have left. Development is pointless if you don’t retain and extend ahead of contracts expiring.
Obvious most recent example was Matterson.
