That was what, 4 years ago when Lane, Junior, Reg, Matto, etc. were in their mid-20's and at their peak.
We surprisingly had the fourth best defence in 2021 (all those Ferguson overlaps made me expect us to be a lot worse). All those players were still at their peak in 2022 (Matterson made his origin debut, Paulo + RCG played origin and Lane had his best season ever) but our defence dropped off a cliff. We made the grand final despite having a mediocre 8th ranked defence.

I'm stoked about Ryles (allegedly) making the decision to not take Barrett as an assistant. The joint needs a complete reset and any players that don't like it can f**k off too.
I was keen on Hannay until I heard he was happy to work with whatever staff the club wanted him to have. It was a red flag, Ryles wanting his own staff and a chance to put his own stamp on the club makes much more sense. We need to wash away the Bea Arthur stain. Players and coaches alike.
