[Skinner]

Looked at in isolation, those are telling stats on both clubs. I would think,
though, if you went through the playing rosters for all clubs from 2002 they
would show similar figures.

I could be wrong though.

*waits for LeagueNut*

 

[Iafeta]

I think you're right Skinner, the player rotation at all clubs, perhaps bar Brisbane and St George would be massive I speculate.

Certainly though a sobering thought. Many great memories from those players - Campo's hits, Tooks charges, Stacey's brilliance, Ivan's goal kicking, Carlaw's unsung stability, Meli's crushing players, PJ's dashes, Logan's ball skills, Ali's ball skills... :-(

Bingo. I don't see why the Warriors get singled out by fans for having such a large player turnover when it happens across the league.

Whats also interesting is outta the Roosters 5/17 dont play any more while the Warriors only have 2/17 that have retired. And both have coached the club
