Browny did have a great squad. Players like Aaron Gorrell were playing in the halves at one stage, hence the strength of the squad. Bickerstaff, Isemonger, Wicks. Great backrow but he brought the best out of them.
People seem to forget during the Browny ere he had injuries to Gaz, Barrett, Bailey, Ryles, etc to contend with. It was well documented that he had a great squad but never managed to get them all on the park at the same time.
Bailey was out for 2 season with peck injuries, same with Gaz he had a couple of long stints on the sidelines. He probably flogged them to much at training I suppose.
