I think it is a reflection of how misguided our recruitment is. We seem to focus on the athletic, big and fast kids who score tries and break tackles in lower grades, but are unable to identify and recruit players that are the game managers. They may not catch the eye but keep the team on the same track. That is why we play like a group of individuals and not a team with a single focus.Those stats tell a lot.
The standout for me is Cronk. He must have played at least 3 seasons of ISC so our recruitment team would have had plenty of opportunities to look at him and make him an offer before Melbourne did. Another bad miss by them.
