Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2595753, member: 1899"] Oh okay, I see what you mean. I agree that their first priority should be to blood and develop their own, which they have been doing. They need to continue down that path because they do have some great young talent there. However I don't blame them looking to sign the likes of Tedesco, Ennis or Mansour either. What happened with Tedesco was just unfortunate really, Ennis was looking to leave but got offered a ridiculous deal by a more desperate club while Mansour is a damn good prospect who I wouldn't even minded us making a play at but like the majority, chose to stick with the club that gave him a shot at first grade. The Proctor signing was stupid and was seemingly the catalyst behind all the other deals. Still don't know what they were thinking there. On Shillo & TLL. They've just stayed on their books too long for mine. Shillo maybe a tad harsh because his form really only deteriorated last year but TLL has struggled to make it onto the park for awhile now and is one of their highest paid players. Don't think he'll see any first grade at all this year either, especially since he dislocated his knee and was set to join the Dragons (which would have been a decent buy for them, but how do they have all that spending money?). Regardless, they need to be smarter with their money. As I've argued with the Broncos, I don't think they can necessarily shuffle through their juniors to see who can solve their problems. Just think they need to back Cornish, promote Vaughan and give McIllwrick more of an opportunity. I think they're actually doing a fair job with their juniors at this point - the likes of Mago, Bateman, B. Lee & Pangai are given time in the ISC and NSW Cup respectively and it should give them a chance to develop without being thrown into the deep end right away. [/QUOTE]
