Wests Recruitment/Retention Failures

The bromwichs and kaufusi looked ok putting 60 on us last year. Nicholls took his team to a GF. The young HB from Penrith is tipped to be a sensation. Bit rough on those guys.
Most players once they leave the Storm aren’t the same player they were at the club, Nicholls was in the GF but Reynolds is what took them to a GF, that kid from Panthers is still just a kid he might be a good player but only time will tell only thing Dolphins have so far is Bennett that’s all mate

Time will tell.

Bromwich, Bromwich, Kaufusi have rings.bit rich us WT fans trying to diminish that.

We aren’t diminishing that well I’m not anyway but 99% of players once they leave the Storm aren’t the same player they were at the Storm only exception is Cronk
 
He was good some might say he’s another one but for me its just Cronk but Inglis was a solid player but Cronk really stood out but that’s just my opinion it took a few years for Inglis to get back to his level that he played at the Storm Cronk still had it as soon as he left
 
dads army dolphins,all signed on 2 three year contracts,smells like Newcastle.be great insight into how they build the club,rumor was Blake Austin is signed

I’ll agree it’s partly a system/culture that is their main strength but signing three of them is different to grabbing one. Unless they all decide they’re ready to wind it down. I think Dolphins will get at least a good year or two out of them. As we both said time will tell.

dolphins signings so far very very underwhelming
they need a Ponga not that likely
Munster - think storm will fight hard but they might get him
Harry Grant - he probably stays at storm
 
I wouldn‘t say they have been better than us. Maybe signed a couple good juniors, but no one can judge them on that till they play first grade. When it comes to big name signings, I’d put the two that we have signed ahead of the ones they have signed. Obviously recruitment has been pathetic for years, but with Sheens back, we’ve started to make some inroads.
Perhaps we live in a hope that Sheens will invent at least another Ellis, Dwyer, or Tuiaki if not Marshall and Farah.
