Wayne has made a few errors in recruitment over his many years, but he has also coached 900 games so it's all relative. Him and Cyril were the best recruiters ever back in the day - and often picked really small guys like Langer, Walters bro's etc. in development.The guy wrote the book on coaching. Ok we think it was a 'rich' contract but he was looking at the bigger picture not just his game but his interaction with others, cohesive players have synergy which is priceless.
He obviously had a job for Boyd that probably involved more off field value than we like to give credit for.
Was just noting that even Wayne in more recent itmes has followed suit of the majority of recruiters overlooki8ng small players in the development squads.
Everyone wants Bigger, Stronger, Faster but often Smarter is the better attribute.
