I think people are attaching too much emotion into this trading business... fear of missing out and so on.

Reality is that it'swings and roundabouts. What you draft for and what you get don't always go hand in hand, especially when a player is out of contract. Players have done this for a while due to lack of opportunity or simply because they don't like the club that drafts them...

Cripps, Buckley and Rocca are 3 that spring to mind.

Then you look at Bruce, Membrey and Roberton, and probably Savage and Weller.

Sometimes we pay more, then we get bargains. It all comes out in the wash.

Peace.

We have had a couple of wins the other way with Rhys and Tommy Gun Walsh.
