Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 2778022, member: 8315"] As we look to the future, I think it's important to reflect on the past as well. Here was the team line-up in the last game of the Griffin era before WB returned: 1 Justin Hodges (c) 2 Daniel Vidot 3 Corey Oates 4 Dale Copley 5 Lachlan Maranta 6 Ben Barba 7 Ben Hunt 8 Josh McGuire 9 Andrew McCullough 10 Corey Parker (c) 11 Alex Glenn 12 Matt Gillett 13 Sam Thaiday Interchange 14 Jarrod Wallace 15 Martin Kennedy 16 Ben Hannant 17 Todd Lowrie 18 David Hala I don't remember the last game all that much. This was the official team list so I can't recall if there were any late changes. Where was Hoffman? Or was he gone by then... Now let's compare that to the one from a few days ago: 1 Darius Boyd 2 Corey Oates 3 Tom Opacic 4 Jordan Kahu 5 Jonus Pearson 6 Anthony Milford 7 Ben Hunt 8 Josh McGuire 9 Andrew McCullough 10 Adam Blair 11 Sam Thaiday 12 Matt Gillett 13 Corey Parker (c) 14 Jarrod Wallace 15 Tevita Pangai 16 Jai Arrow 17 Alex Glenn A couple of thoughts spring to mind when looking back on where we've come from. There is no doubt we have gotten better under WB. Not just in terms of wins but our style of football, discipline, general play, recruitment have all significantly improved. Wallace is still a bench player though two years later. Will he kick on and be a premier front rower? He has a fresh start at the Titans. Glenn has been relegated to the bench. Injuries have played their part but I think he goes alright there - but is he going backwards or is the best yet to come? Thank **** we got rid of the co-captain nonsense. We have blooded some really good players like Opacic and Pearson. Does anyone miss Kennedy, Lowrie, Barba, Vidot etc? Could they have added something in the last year or so? Could they have been the difference between a premiership and falling just short? Adam Blair has added a lot to our side and I'm glad he's in the team. I said from the day of WB's appointment the side will look very different from the one he has inherited to the end of his three year contract. That's proven to be true. As we look forward to 2017 and looking at the players who are still there - who do we persevere with and who are still the weak links? [/QUOTE]
