Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 2891646, member: 2290"] I'll have to respectfully disagree. I think our team is much better now, especially once you take into account the way the players were used in 2014. Fullback: Boyd is far better than the fat broken Barba we had in 2014. Wing: Kahu and Oates is far better than Vidot and Dropley. Centre: Reed was a solid player, and I wont say anything bad about the busted up plodder. Agreed that Hodges is one of the best centres of all time, and the best player we've had since Locky (honourable mention to Parker). But Roberts is better than Reed, and if Bird plays centre that pairing rivals the overall pairing of Hodges and Reed. Halves: Ben Hunt is a loss that we haven't replaced yet. I think Hunt needed to move on and I guess we'll see how Kodi goes but like you kind of said, Milford and Kodi is far superior than any halves pairing with Hoffman in it. Prop: McGuire is the only player who Hook seems to have played in his more natural position compared to how Wayne uses him, but any of that good work is completely undone by how bad a decision playing Corey as a 60 minute prop. That's up there with Hoffman at 6 for head scratching decisions. Hooker: Unchanged. Back row / lock: Thaiday at lock is also a pretty uninspired choice and I think the way we use our second row now is better. Interchange: Ben Hannent was past it, and Martin Kennedy is the worst signing in our clubs history. I agree there is more talent overall in the forwards but that's only due to the retirement of one of our greatest clubmen. The use of this talent under hook was bizarre though. [/QUOTE]
