Nah keep him, he's our little good luck charm
Fox Sports have already done that:
Fullbacks: Panthers
Matt Moylan was ranked 3rd, Darius Boyd 8th. Although Boyud was clearly rated on reputation and not his form, as he was by far the worst fullback in 2014.
Wingers: Panthers
Josh Mansour and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak were ranked 1st. Broncos were ranked 5th.
Centres: Panthers
Jamal Idris and Dean Whare were ranked 3rd. Jack Reed and Justin Hodges were ranked 8th.
Five-Eighths: Panthers
Jamie Soward was ranked 2nd. Anthony Milford was ranked 7th.
Halfback: Broncos
Ben Hunt was ranked 4th. Peter Wallace was ranked 9th.
Front Row: Broncos
Adam Blair (lol) and Josh McGuire were ranked 5th. Sam McKendry and Brent Kite (possibly the only front rower worse then Blair) were ranked 13th.
Hooker: Panthers
James Segeyaro was ranked 3rd. Andrew McCullough was ranked 9th.
Second Row: Broncos
Corey Parker (who is a lock/front rower for you) and Matt Gillett were ranked 1st. Tyrone Peachey and Bryce Cartwright were ranked 9th after playing less then half a season each.
Lock: Broncos
Sam Thaiday was ranked 4th. Adam Docker was ranked 10th. Thaiday shouldn't have been in the lock category, and Elijah Taylor should have been ranked at lock. Not Docker.
Coach: Panthers
Ivan Cleary was ranked 3rd. Wayne Bennett was ranked 6th.
So in the 10 categories ranked, Panthers were higher ranked in 6 categories. Broncos in 4 categories. The area where Broncos won comfortably was the forwards, but the forwards seemed to be a bit messed up. Docker ahead of Taylor, Thaiday at lock, Parker second row. The starting front rowers picked and so on.
If Docker is in the team ahead of Peachey, Cartwright, Taylor or Brown then Cleary needs to get his head examined. But I am hopeful that at full strength he is a depth player. We never really had a full strength side to see where his position would be.
The team we fielded should have won the preliminary final with the amount of possession and territory they had.
I'm hoping for a bit more spark in attack next year. That is what we missed.
There is also another one rating each squad as a whole and the Broncos were rated higher. It's all a matter of opinion and which one suits who's agenda.Fox Sports have already done that:

Our attack will be better next year. Peachy and Cartright will dominate attack out wide. The longer the season goes the better they will get.
After the way Soward stepped up in the absence of Wallace, im not sure how that combination will go now. Will Soward take a step back from organising the team???? not sure he will know how to do that.
