Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3582862, member: 9881"] If Penrith retained Leniu they would be the best forward pack but I think Haas, Carrigan, Jensen, Baker, Hetho, Willison (respectfully don’t agree with Taupau) is a very well balanced forward pack both salary cap wise, tactically, experience wise and size wise. Very complimentary to what we require and when require it. Not to mention Taupau, Hunt, Te Kura as backups with an additional likely to come. Penrith have a great starting middle but Lindsay Smith and the young bloke forgot his name are the next best that’s not good enough to beat this in my opinion. Warriors are in the convo as well I think it has the depth but not quite imo probably even with Penrith cause they still have a strong bench whereas Penriths is shithouse. I just don’t think it’s effective enough for how much cap is tied up in it. Roosters would be up there if they could actually click but there teams hasn’t performed for a while so they can’t gain that off scraping finals 2 years in a row. I think you got to back Penrith and Broncos they are still the best until someone or they prove otherwise. I think Keenan is a huge loss cause he played his role perfectly for being on not much. Tom whilst an awesome player as the number 3 his ability was wasted and his talent was an excess to our needs at times. Sometimes you just need a few players who play there role and have a good hit up for a good price and we have that. We have our two spear heads, 3 role players (3 of the best) in Hetherington, Baker, Jensen and then you have that big, athletic body with heaps of potential to bring some size and punch to the game. You can afford to carry him because there is no doubt the rest of the middles will play there role. I’ve rarely ever seen Carrigan, Haas, Jensen (at the broncos) or Hetho play a bad game. Baker has a fast play to the ball, great support play and heaps of potential as well as versatility. That’s an awesome pack and it will be even more awesome when Baker and Willison live up to their potential and Te Kura comes in and plays on the bench for Jensen. I think it has been managed excellently and personally Keenan’s quality isn’t hard to live up to just his role and as talented as Flegler was you don’t need to be that talented to play the role we needed him to play.
