Not all were big fees but here's some highlights of those we've paid money to bring in (there will be others):
Iestyn Harris Daryll Powell, Darren Fleary+7 others Ryan Sheridan, Dean Lawford & Anthony Farrell Karl Pratt Keith Senior Willie Poching Gareth Ellis Jay Pitts Kyle Amor Zak Hardaker Darrell Griffin Paul Aiton Brett Ferres Cory Aston Matt Parcell Rob Lui Callum McLelland Jarrod O’Connor & Sam Walters Luke Gale Kruise Leeming Brodie Croft & Andy Ackers
Out of that list of 24 names (excluding Croft/Ackers) I'd say we got four I could categorise as Legends or at least outstanding, seven 'very good's, six 'OK's and seven duds.
Not sure if that's a good hit rate or not although most - but not all - of the duds were cheaper buys.
Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.

I think the call up will be good for Harry, being in that environment with strong expectations from wane. Just hope he stays fit but that wouldn't be a reason to not let him go.

Did we not pay a fee for…
Ali Lauitiiti Clinton Toopi Marcus Bai Scott Donald Marc Granville Kylie Leuluai Danny Buderus Dave Furner?
All pretty significant and successful signings (Toopi maybe not so much)
Born a Loiner die a Rhino (but not too soon I hope)

Harris (who we managed to sell twice, once to Welsh union, and again, sort of, to Bradford). Also Hardaker. And I think we got a fee for Graham Holroyd, although I think Fax may have never actually paid it.
