Storm 09/12?

[TheParraboy]

Good bump Dean. Lets see how our cheating 2012-15 teams have carried forward.

1. Robinson
2. Sio
3. Morgan
4. Tonga
5. Blair
6. Roberts
7. Sandow
8. Mossop
9. Kelly
10. Lussick
11. Harrison
12. Ryan
13. Paulo (joseph)

14. Pauli
15. Lasalo
16. Billy Rogers
17. Maitua

There was a host of other stars we cheated to acquire or retain during that period: McGuire, Allgood, Keating, Burt - we even cheated to bring in supercoaches Kearney and Stuart.

Looking at the list makes me think of what might have been what if we hadn't moved towards legality? This host of illegally assembled stars could have had a dynasty.

I do feel like our spoons should be asterisked as a result Dean. Glad you bumped it to make this point.

So...Storm won 3 yars later, with only 5 different faces in their successful GF team.

If we can keep 12 of this top 25 playing squad together for 2019, then that would be a great result!

So far we're losing:
Watmough
Paulo
Morgan (temporarily)
Peats
Presumably De Gois (retire by 2019)
Presumably Gordon (retire by 2019)
Presumably Mannah (retire by 2019)
Presumably Wicks (retire by 2019)
Presumably Scott (retire by 2019)
And Foran would be in the last year if he takes up his option for years 3 & 4...

So to be "as bad as" the Storm we can only afford to lose another 3-4 of our current players over the next 3 years. Otherwise the analogy won't stand up.

Storm cheated correctly, they kept together Slater, Cronk and Smith.

We cheated incorrectly by overpaying Mossop, Harrison and Blair.......
