You know.... I doubt he would have asked specifically to be traded to us if we hadn't already spoken to him. It would be pretty embarrassing if we turned around and said "nah, we're not interested kid. Work hard, stay at school, be good to your mother".
My take on it is that our recruiters would have sounded out a few guys - maybe some struggling at their present club, maybe some originally from NSW. Same as any other year.
