skeepe said:What I've noticed in all the predictions I've read is that NOBODY has a f**king clue about the depth of any teams but their own... and that includes many of the so-called experts.
Take Parramatta, and Ron Jeremy's example above. He sites players like Inu, Lett, Green, Fa'osso, Tai, Hauriki and Oake as examples of great depth, and perhaps they may be but I've never heard of them and I doubt many outside Parra fans or dedicated students of the lower grades would have either
Well if you bothered to take more notice of the other grades apart from firsts you'd probably no them, or maybe watched the GF yourself.
Absolute rubbish, anyone who follows all grades will know of some of the players i mentioned in Parra's reserve grade side or would've seen them win the last 2 comps.
Jarrad Hayne was also apart of that squad i mentioned, but was given a chance after Brian left, and look what he produced. Inu i reckon is just as good if not better then Hayne, big call but the guy plays very similar to Tahu.
against other players that nobody knows much about. Case in point: RJ's disdain for Jarred Hickey, a player who IMHO has a huge future ahead of him.
See this is where you have no idea. I was listing Hickey in comparison to Asotasi and Myles, and that if injuries occured they would only have him, as the Bulldogs reserve grade sucks.
If you define depth as players who have first grade experience then Canberra may well have the most depth in the competition as basically their entire first grade and Premier League teams will have said experience... but I don't see anyone talking up their depth, and nor would they because they simply don't know that much about the players.
I knew it would lead straight to the inevitable:roll: and no Canberra dont have the depth as there side lacks significant experience in relation to Parra's squd.
What Canberra do have is a great young forward pack with reasonable depth, classy half pairings but avergae backs.
Canberra lack depth, and yes Alan Tongue is sh*t.
