Has there ever been a club in history where their 2 biggest stars are both of indigenous descent ?

100%. Penrith do it so well, your forwards don't even bother retreating back into your own 40m in attack. They wait around behind the defensive line for the first couple of tackles for your backs to catch up.The back 3 coming out of trouble goes hand in hand with defense. Pantherball is pretty much the forwards having a rest until tackle 3 or 4 every set, then being ready to hold the middle with line speed and getting back into the line quickly. Rinse and repeat. If you are being relied on to even help do the grunt work with the ball, their aint no petrol left for whats required in defense.
Other teams are catching on now and starting to copy it. Having To'o and Edwards is a bit of a cheat code though, The 3rd option has always stepped up for the most part in the past few years as well.100%.

It doesn't - he's dog whistling.What the f**k does that matter?
Our biggest issue for 5+ years has been:
1. Fitness
2. Our back 3 and their inability to work us out of trouble
People like to blame yardage on props, but no prop forwards do the dirty work out of the backend anymore - it's all on the back 3 and with Latrell Mitchell, Alex Johnston and Paulo/Milne/Kennar/whoever we've always been mired in our own end.
It's been exacerbated even more this year without Campbell Graham.
And it's why we rely on piggy-back penalties so much.
I don't know how no media pundit has ever picked on this and called it out.
