Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 2902994, member: 1769"] if you think that pack will take us anywhere in 2018 ... then clearly you have never seen how Bennett has developed rookie forwards for his entire 30+ year coaching career. in the event a forward as young as Carrigan or Haas actually gets a game ... it is pretty much always a token 5 minutes at the end of the game ... which means that you are placing alot on the top of TPJ and Offa to carry the bench work load (2 players that, while are coming along very nicely, still have a ways to go until they are properly developed) Then there is Oates ... a player, who while he can make big meters coming off a run up against centers and wingers, is yet to show he can do the hard yards up the middle with little to no run up, against the big men ... all that is assuming he can actually stay on the park in the forwards. now we arrive at Sims ... there is a player who is great defensively, but offers little in the way of go forward. on to Lodge ... carved up the ISC level competition, but hasn't played NRL for 3 years, which is clearly a significant step up from the ISC ... it could take him some time before he hits his straps in the top grade. Although, i really don't have to worry too much because the chance the pack runs out like that is close to zero ... unless we get a significant amount injuries [/QUOTE]
