That’s not what he said. He said “if you have a team of rep players, you should be winning a comp every second year”. Let’s reallt dissect that:
- only one team can win it every year,
- each premiership team gets pillaged by teams with cap space looking for a quick fix
- people aren’t as motivated the second or third time around if they won it the first time,
- injuries or suspensions can easily ruin a season
- drop off in form happens to the best of them (its happening to Thurston right before our eyes)
- leaving aside all of that, it’s also just really f**king difficult.
I'd like to think that under a good coaching staff and good management, a highly talented team with the right mix of youth and experience could do what the Dragons did in the 50s and 60s. On e of the biggest tasks is to sign the RIGHT players long term; Millward.
