Rogers and Cross are both Australian Schools reps at Rugby. I think they are both OK. Anyone who's objective about Rogers could not say he was a failure at RU. Injury prone,sure but not a failure. Disregarding all Wendell's off-field problems he was not a failure as a player either.
Lote hasn't had a good few weeks and he's not played to his potential for the Tahs. But he's not alone. The NSW backline has been dysfunctional for years despite plenty of good performances BEFORE the business end of the S12/14.
Reason? Bloody obvious. They STILL haven't got a proven Flyhalf.
Cross will prove to be the best of the lot IMO.
Are any of them worth what they get? Doesn't matter that's the market.
Should they have chased so hard after Lote? Not sure yet but they did the right thing reducing the offer and laying a deadline. Glad it's over.
Would the money be better spent on junior development? Arguable. Is it even from the same pool of money? Probably not.
Do they bring more to the game than they cost? Probably. Remember the man lots of us want back running the business was also in charge when most of the RL players crossed over.
