At the end of the day there has to be a reason for a big name player to leave his club. If it comes down to money then you will never get them because they do not like change when their own club will offer similar money. You need their club to cut them or for them to have a break down with the coach otherwise you are relying on homesickness as was the case with our latest two signings. Fundamentally recruiting comes down to getting the right juniors and then retaining the right ones from this bunch. You can get middle of the road players but almost impossible to buy a superstar. We will not get Cherry Evans unless Manly cannot afford him or he does not want to stay. I do not expect us to get him. We need to be looking at our young guys and hopefully bringing one or two playmakers through in 2015. They will not even leave to win a premiership. Case in point Jarryd Hayne who has had ample opportunities to leave a club that has been on the nose for the last decade [/QUOTE]
