Quote ="eddiewaringsflatcap"There are 4 options in this respect:
a) [iRecruit from the NRL and choke up the youth system[/i - I dont really want to continue seeing our ass handed to us on a plate by the Ockers and in such a comprehensive manner as the WC.
b) Recruit talent from SL – no one was out of contract who we could be confident would add real quality to the side.
c) Recruit from the lower divisions like Wakefield - Always a gamble for a top team
d) Bring through the youngsters which have impressed in the reserves/academy
I really think only option d is of any sense, and in any case should benefit from the experienced heads such as Long, Cunningham, Wellens and Gidley.'"
Option D is good but to work well probably needs a balance of the right players from the other groups.
