Bit bored waiting for the 9's to kick off, and was thinking about our squad and how I'd not swap certain people for anyone in the game, some because of the specific role/impact they have at the club, some sentimental and some as I think they're future stars. So here's a hypothetical question just for the sake of it...
If you could, would you swap any of the following? And if so, who for?
Holmes
Bird
Maloney
Fifita
Wade
Gal
Flanno
My personal view is that only Wade and maybe Maloney would I even consider - but both play a huge part in our culture so I'd probably stick - Think Id keep Jimmy even with the option of a Thurston or Cronk - he's proven to consistently deliver the business, is a top fella to have around and still has a fair few years in the legs.
Wade is probably more replaceable for me, certainly on talent with quite a few I'd pick on talent ahead of him, but I think he'd still be safe because he's already a leader of our team, plenty of experience but still got plenty of miles in the tank, could have another 8 years.
Thoughts? Any others in our team who you'd find irreplaceable?
