Fair point.

I think the fact that players like Langstaff, Scott, Austin and Bajrami have all arrived from the leagues below, and are clearly very good acquisitions, has drawn particular attention to that blueprint for recruitment success, especially when contrasted with the blueprint of previous owners signing better known and sometimes 'big' names who failed to deliver.

You're right though, not all Radar signings fit that profile, and we should be in the market for any player who is available at the right price and who has the right appetite and attitude. Matt Palmer, Aden Baldwin and Adam Chicksen all took steps down to join us, and they've all proven to be good acquisitions. Richard Brindley also had higher level experience and then went through a bit of a career drift, but again he's been a great success for us.
