"RE: QLD are screwed without Price and Civoniceva:
NSW are screwed without... um well... theyre just screwed full stop!
I reckon Civ and Price will both go around again next year ... why shouldn't they.
That will give Hannant, Miles, Shillington, Taylor, Kenny, Scott, Ross and even Tronc another year to develop their game.
make it webb and you got a deal.
Qld aren't screwed without Price and Civo. Sure their loss is going to hurt but so they have players coming through the ranks.
I am more worried our lack of options up front. Who have we got? We have White who should gtfo, Fitzy who had a great series but is not a prop, Mason who we all know plays his best on the edges and had very little up the middle. Then whoever else played prop were only fillers. Only player I wouldn't mind seeing back up front is Cross who played quite well in Game 3. We have Kite, Bailey who are probably our best options but the Qlders don't really fear them and I haven't seen O'Meley's form of late so I'm not sure about his credentials.
and Ryles is headed overseas....
Cross has some mongrel. Maybe Cashmere?
