You are welcome to that opinion. By the way, nice contribution to the debate - generally, if you want to debate someone, try explaining what you think rather than just shouting "YOU'RE WRONG!".
As it is, I still think pick 12 was way too high for Cameron. As I've stated, I think Barrett's stats were more compelling for a similar role (at least initially), though realistically, I agree that Cameron is better... But not by enough to give up pick 12. I think that with a few more games,
Barrett may gain some composure which might improve his kicking. Cameron already had 49 games before this season, and his kicking is just as bad (worse by raw statistics, but within the same range).
I also think that when one combines the Schache and pickswap trades, which realistically is the more reasonable way to read it, we traded Schache+20 for 15 and a bit of change for academy points (picks 40+52). I think that is a ludicrous trade that shows that Schache was never coming back, that the posturing was all ridiculous, and that no rival club managers ever remotely bought it. Noble was clearly outmaneuvered.
Now, if you care to disagree with these points, please feel free to explain what you disagree with and why. That is how this works.
So do you think we should have stuck firm on 20 for Cameron and not have traded Schache?
