Message: [QUOTE="Mightybroncs2k17, post: 3550125, member: 9166"] With Hass locked in it basically really simplifies our recruitment strategy moving forward and that is we need maximum value for money. It might mean we have a bit of high turn over in the near future if we can get guys in cheap and they perform well in a quality side and earn themselves upgrades with other clubs after a few years with us. I think it will be important to try and lock up young forwards on semi long deals in the hope we can get a couple of good output years from them for unders. Also always be on the ready to pick up any Tapau type players who are just chasing one more deal to finish their career but can still manage a quality 30 mins a game for a cheap price. I've always had the opinion that if you can get your low-mid range players to play above their value you'll go along way to winning a premiership. Its something Melbourne were able to do when they had so much tied up in the big three. It's a big failure of ours over recent history our mid range guys like Alex Glenn, Joe O, Macca, jake turpin and the likes never performed above that mid range status and pay grade. Fast forward to today and you have guys like Kobe, Jensen, Riki, Walters, Palaisa and probably even Mam who are in that mid range of players but they have regular games where they play like top level kind of players. The key to having super stars like Hass, Walsh and Reynolds is been able to fill the spots around them with the right players. The thing that makes me most nervous is our Reynolds replacement... whoever that might be. We aren't likely to have a huge sum of cash for a replacement halfback. Our only saving grace might be there are genuinly only 2 or 3 class halfbacks in the comp so not having one might not be as detrimental as it could be. If there's cleary, moses and Hughes then a big gap to the rest maybe we can survive with a mid level run of the mill halfback? [/QUOTE]
