Can't be bothered finding that out. Feel free if you have the time.
You said Benji didn't attract players when he was playing here. That is not true. Whether the players he attracted were a success is irrelevant as he didn't sign them.
Price.
400k and I would sign him no questions.
1.2 Million and I would not touch him. Particularly after we did this:
Will Smith joins Wests Tigers
Wests Tigers is pleased to announce the signing of Will Smith for the 2023 season.
www.weststigers.com.au
That said, the Stains signing is a great one. We have a good back line on paper in Nofo, Ken M, Staines, Laurie and Naden.
David Fifita makes sense, but at what price? 800k and I am listening, 1.2 Million and it's a NO. Likewise TPJ would be a good option.
heck even Andrew Fifita IMHO (for a min contract of 120k) makes sense. You get a rep forward who can up the game of Papalii, Stefano and others. Yes it's bench depth but our forward and second row stock looks particularly bad.... so we sign a crap winger in Will Smith???
( I can say all the above, because whatever I say is not as bad as us signing Will Smith. Why WT Why?)

Well it is relevant if they were crap and probably told what to say once they had signed
I found 4 ........the rest weren't worth talking about and or bring back painful memories

Not in the top 30.Price.

WHY? When the players best form is 9 tries for Parra as a winger/fullback in 2017...Will Smith joins Wests Tigers

Just to create depth and be a mentor for the young kids coming through in reserve grade.
Good signing.

And he isn't busted up like JTJ was either.
It was a good pickup, thinking outside the box and isn't top 30 contracted as well.

Whoever said Batman was coming is a liar.
Will smith is a champion of state cup. There are many like him that are good state cup players that can't quite make NRL level fulltime but provide cover when needed.Price.
400k and I would sign him no questions.
1.2 Million and I would not touch him. Particularly after we did this:

Looking at coverage
Fullback: Staines, Laurie, AD, Smith To'a
Wingers: Nofo, Kenny, Naden, Kepoa, Smith
Centres: Naden, Kepoa, AD, Tupou, Talau, To'a
5/8: AD, Brooks, Laurie, Hastings, Smith
Lock: Hastings, Offa, Simpkins, Talau, Paps, Bateman ??, Smith
Half: Brooks, Hastings, AD, Smith
In any position he is back up at best at only if we have multiple injuries. Purchased as a mentor role in state cup for the youngins.
