Disagree. In 2010 and 2011 (and even 2009) I could see good signs early in the season however we just weren't polished enough, plus had shocking injury runs at the start of the year, especially last year. We had a genuine half to partner benji and depth in the forwards and backs. Guys in the backs like brown and Daniela weren't part of the regular 17 however came in and were always awesome. Then in the forwards blokes like murdoch-Masila, shirnack, fifita, Flanagan etc would do the same. This year we don't have that luxury. Outside of the top 17 there isn't much.
This year we look completely disjointed in attack, all of our tries are coming from arse or individual play. I can recall 2 tries this year which have been from good backbone moves. 1 v manly and 1 in the dying minutes v Canberra. We have no half to help benji and our prick of a fullback does absolutely nothing.
I really have no confidence in this team going on any sort of run. If we sneak into the 8 it will be on the back of luck and we will just be making up the numbers.
