O Sullivan deserves kudos for signing shrek

[trewhella]

Possibly the most exciting prospect I've seen in a while.

O'Sullivan

Bout time he found us a good one, he has found plenty of duds along the way.

Only taken him 6 years not bad strike rate I say

Thats all good he is for, invests his money in to heaps of goobers from QLD that dnt amount to anything. Offers them 80000 dollars and good players like kane evans arnt even on half that amount. he thinks that he can just sign polynisians and they will turn into falou and inglis (which to his credit he did find but still)... He cant recognise talent when he sees it. 3 of the award winning players from the sg ball team didnt even get a look in for the 20's squad and one was the captian... Milne was the only award winner they took up and rightly so... Its just sad to see all these great juniors fallin to the hands of osullivan and not getting anywhere because there not polynisian...

Ummm you do realise Inglis isn't Polynesian?

Ha ha yeah the law of averages swaying in his favour with Sheck,Moga and Cordner looking the goods he's come up with some duds like Tevita Folau,Williamson,Tagive and Ben Jones to name a few lol

Oh snap!

I'd put this up, all the talent in the world isn't worth spit unless their mental welfare is cared for.

Geesus christ he deserves credit as Trew says, he's also got us Moga, BJ, JWH, Cordner, Kennedy, SKD, Arona, SBW, Maloney, Taka, Geurra...duds you say?

Chook.

Looking at that list makes me excited about our future.

Correct.

You will always get duds no matter who you think has "potential".
That's the nature of talent scouts. Geez even Arty picked some stinkers.

No, that's not right Sisa.
At the end of this seasons SG Ball - Togitasi, Brendan Elliott, Nene Macdonald & Brandon (Henare Wells' brother) have all tasted NYC.
Taan Milne, Alex Thomas & Deitz are still quite young and were held back but will feature in 2013.
Hopefully Lama Tasi's brothers are still coming down to play for us next year. The youngest one is apparently hot to trot!
IMO, POS & his offsider Jaimie Mathiou are doing terrific. Not every recruit is going to be a superstar.

Artie had Joey Williams as the next 'joey'.

Chook.

[TDK]

The player profile has shriek at 174cm tall, I'm surprised, because he actually looks a lot taller, 174cm would have him as one of the shortest wingers in the NRL.

Artie recruited the inaugural NYC team of 2008 - Mose, Kennedy, Winterstein, Jake Friend, Cherro.
Artie was replaced with POS in 2009 > 4 years service.
