Re: We're back in the hunt
Chris Judd Vs Nathan Brown.
lets go back a few years, when we created a coup by getting N.Brown.
Nathan or Nafan for Sam Newman was 24-25 years old as well, and a very much respected player - not considered the best player in the comp.
I can't remember exactly how we got him, but if i was to guess, managemnt really wanted him.
Would a 24/25 N.Brown be worthy of a trade invloving pick 2 - yes absloutly - forget about his broken leg, cause that's hindsight - if we were discussing giving up pick 2 - we would have!
So why is it even an option when we have pick 2, and the league's best player is available - it's a given.
if the Tigers tell WCE no to Pick 2 - I think it shows members that they are not wanting to improve immediatly - rather then hopefully pick up another young kid whom will take a few years to develop and maybe make the grade - then after another few seasons of 9, 10, and 9 - turn around and say Oops - lets sack the coach and the supporters will be have to give another coach another 3 years to turn the club around - it's a circle of bullshit.
We deserve more, its easy to blame injuries, but if the club doesn't grab the best player in the league given we have a strong chance with pick 2, well we might have better to stay home and watch it on foxtel.
Bring the man to Punt Road!
