Think we targeted top imports: Taylor, Davila and then Hemed. All very much with plenty left to give.
And it’s always difficult to get Aussie players here. The balance of that is kiwis aren’t imports.
Plus it was against our strategy with youngsters. I think we got much more out of Mauragis, than we did out of a very established Scot Galloway. Uffie backed himself to get performances out of youngsters. And while he lost his nerve in the final season when Surman and Paulsen should have featured more, he got reasonable performances out of the ones he selected. And we knew those two had chops because he had played them earlier.
