Really? You think we're still 6 players away from being a marquee team after last nights performance??
At the beginning of the year, I may have agreed with you, but what's been made clear is that the current squad has improved out of sight, most likely as a result of the efforts of the new coaching staff.
Agree we still need to be looking at the player market, but this squad is doing pretty good. I wasn't sure we were premiership contenders until last night, but I'm starting to believe .
Absolutely.. I mean we can compete & win games, but we are punching way above our weight.. throw in a couple of forwards like a Matt Scott or a Toumanalano (sp) or a Moa, then replace all of the outside backs bar Nightingale with genuine speed and power..
We are playing our socks off, but were still a B-Grade roster, all be it with a couple of blokes looking to improve during 2015.. the sooner Aitken can be moved the better also, he (like Farrell) are only providing defence right now.
Were ok for a few positions like the halves (thankfully Widdop & Benji are in form, neither are A-Grade DCE/Thursten/Hunt territory though).
Im loving this run like you are, but we are more like a Tigers of 2005 or Dragons of 2009/2010, were playing above our weight.. and we can win.. but were not on a level playing field.
