Tigers 2005. Scott Prince and Benji Marshall.
Bulldogs 2004. The 'all star' team, with Thurston.
In 2005 the Thurston-led Cowboys were runners-up.
I see his point that focusing your game around
a few pivotal players, like the Cowboys with Bowen, Thurston and Payne or us with Hayne (but from a
Parra fan's view yes we are a champion team
![Smile :) :)](/data/emoji/263a.png)
) can really pay off. I.e. the Tigers without Robbie Farah or Benji Marshall (or both) are the most dis-organised team in the competition.
Funny thing is though, with the Dragons they do rely on a single player who is the pivot in their attacking structure;
Darius Boyd. Take Darius Boyd out of their side at any point this year and they are hopeless at scoring tries. People might think Hornby or Soward make up for that, but unfortunately with no Boyd, Soward has to do everything.
