This is true too.. one less potential "elite" player from Rendell's time in charge.Tex was actually a Fantasia find, being part of the NSW scholarship program. He was eligible for the draft in Rendell's first year, but Fantasia signed him up to the program a couple of years earlier.
Then again, wasn't it Walker who was the driving force, with Fantasia not so keen on recruiting him? Ahh.. so long ago, I'm sure my memory is playing tricks on me.
