Does Jake Friend go under both categories for us?????

Knights and Cowboys appear to have bought well. Penrith might fall in a heap next year. I remember in 2000 Penrith made the semis and then struggled big time the next year. I was talking to Royce Simmons half way through the year at the City Country game and he laid the blame squarely at the feet of the club for not recruiting anyone new. His theory was you have to keep bringing new players into a squad every year to freshen it up and give it new legs. Relying on your locals doesn't always work. Look at Parra after their golden run in the 80's. They rarely bought a player (other than Bob Lindner) saying their massive junior nursery was all they needed. It wasn't until Super League that they became competitive again on the back of buying in new players.

They never seem to mention the Count in these. I was under the impression we had resigned him for next year with a handshake for 2012 if his form is still good?
