How would we really know if we are not also trying to sign Peter O’Sullivan?
I am as critical about our recruitment and retention as any of our supporters are, but we are not privy to who we are trying to sign and/or retain and how much we are offering.
Our fan base was not so long ago hugely critical that so much of this information was leaked, now we hear barely nothing and we just assume nothing is being done?
There would be no other recruitment manager who wants success for Wests Tigers more than what Shannon Gallant does, so it is far from certain even someone like. Peter O’Sullivan would have the care factor to do as good or a better job than what Shannon Gallant is doing.
We have signed Kurt Mann for the 2027 season and it seems like we will soon announce Tyson Frizell as a one year signing for 2027 also.
I can’t say I am overly excited about either signing as I think both are way past their best, but if it is filling in some gaps with bigger plans in place for 2028, that would then be a plan that would make plenty of sense.
All our retention and recruitment over the next couple of months for both 2027 and 2028 will be very interesting and will tell us a lot more about whether our current recruitment and retention team are doing a good job or not.
