I've been thinking about our "miss list" from a few weeks ago, and that may turn out to be a good thing (except Mansour who I really rate).
Proctor is not worth $700k per season. If we land Symonds for $350k we still get a bloody handy backrower.
Ennis is over 30 and his best days are behind him. He relies on niggle and "gamesmanship" to earn the upper hand. I say lets look to Cronin for the #14 jersey in 2015. This kid can play anywhere for less than Ennis $500k per season and with ten years ahead of him.
Tedesco. Brilliant talent, but as Michael would say he's made of balsa wood. At $2.1 million we've saved ourselves more with his medical cost.
We haven't stepped out of the shadows in to a huge pile of dog **** put it that way.
However, we DO need to recruit some honest, hardworking and reliable players. Tom Symonds would be the sort of "moneyball" player I'd pursue.
Bit tough on the kid most of the injury he has had last couple seasons at tigers could have happened to anyone
