You would definately be a stronger team with GI next year and as far as 5/8 goes just look at what he did in that position in Melbourne, nothing, and was quickly put back to centre. Don't get too excited just yet though Dave, you would first need to make the finals and Inglis is but just one player and one player does not make a team- a team that has constantly failed to make any impression at all really.
Your strength lies in the forwards with Burgess and Taylor leading the way, but not as strong a pack as the likes of Canberra overall IMO. Sandow has got to be one of the most overrated players in the NRL although I do rate Sutton highly. Wesser's had better days, Merritt is decent same with Talanoa and Champion was probably your best in the backs last year.
Overall you have a slightly better team than last year with the inclusion of Inglis- you can actually depend on this guy to win big games, but I still reckon we'd still take you guys out easy in non Charity shield games and if it were in the finals that we met, I know where my money would be on and it ain't pulled out of a hat.
