Message: [QUOTE="Dash, post: 2882665, member: 8761"] I have absolutely no empirical evidence to back this up, but I feel like we've invested too much in our mid-range players. It's almost liked we've assembled a team of 7/10 players, on matching salaries. The trick we've seemed to miss, and it's possibly due to Bennett's reluctance to trust rookies, is finding 6/10 players who we can pay minimum wage, so we can replace our 7/10 players with 9/10 players. I hate using the Storm as a benchmark, but they've had success by holding onto their guns while moving on any of their bit-part players as soon as they start to ask for more money. Addo-Carr and Vunivalu are the cheapest wing pair in the comp, but have managed 40 tries between them. Our wingers have done a terrific job, but are probably on 3 times the money. If they aren't scoring 3 times the tries, are we paying them too much? Our squad as a whole compares favourably to any other, but compare our best 3 players to Cronk, Smith, Slater or Thurston, Scott, Morgan and we fall well short. When it comes to winning the big games, it's those players who make the difference. [/QUOTE]
