Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2943424, member: 1808"] Lets not get carried away here, Bellamy wasn't inheriting the South Queensland Crushers, Gold Coast Giants/Seagulls/Chargers or an early version of the North Queensland Cowboys, Canberra Raiders, Newcastle Knights or Illwarra Steelers outfit that were basically there to make up the numbers for a long period of their early existence, he was inheriting a quality squad and side that between 1998 and 2002 the worst the Storm finished was 10th(9th the year before, not exactly far off the pace from a finals appearance) and 3 out of 5 years of finals appearances during that period including a premiership. Players of 2003 include Marcus Bai, Steve Bell, Matt Geyer, Scott Hill, Ryan Hoffman, Rodney Howe, Dallas Johnson, Antonio Kaufusi, Stephen Kearney, Robbie Kearns, David Kidwell, Matt King, Andrew McFadden, Aaron Moule, Matt Orford, Kirk Reynoldson, Robbie Ross, Billy Slater, Cameron Smith, a roster with a good mixture of experience rep and first graders and promising up and coming young players many of the sides I mentioned early would have killed for in the early stages of their existence. He had a job to do but that is still a good base to work from. [/QUOTE]
