Message: [QUOTE="Battler, post: 2975809, member: 8509"] Souths' experienced players are still in their pomp, whereas ours would be concentrated into blokes that probably won't even be in our squad next season like Thaiday, Kahu, and possibly Glenn. We also had far more rookies and had to restructure our side several times over the season. So saying we have more experience, whilst technically true, is a bit of a red herring. Also, would they be as good if they lost the following players for the season: Crichton (Gillet), Sutton (Su'a. Su'a was playing better than Sutton when he got injured), Murray (Haas. Both young guns off the bench), Gagai (Bird)? Even the storm would have struggled with comparable losses to what we had (say, Chambers, Felise, NAS, Glasby). Reflecting on the season, the more injuries we acquired the less chance we had of winning the comp until that chance was reduced to miracle territory. Our young forwards were winning big games off pure talent, which is an amazing sign for the future. For the record, I hope Souths dominate the drags next week. Playing an injured Widdop and JDB was pretty dumb if the whole point of the finals is to win the GF. Now they have close to zero percent chance, and may lose Widdop for early next season. Just stupidity. [/QUOTE]
