Peter Sharp attracted 2 ex Aussie SOO players in Berro and Crocker, you finally admiting Sharp was a good coach?
Thought he'd had his marching orders by the time Crocker signed? And he still seemed keen after being initially knocked back, so it must have been something other than Sharp.
I agree coaches are a big part of attracting players, but big wads of cash also works. Unfortunately, rather than having a big reputation coach to attract multiple overseas class at decent amounts, our tactic appears to be more along the lines of scrimping wherever we can and then using a big chunk of these savings to provide a couple of marquee signings with offers too good to miss.
