Message: [QUOTE="I bleed Maroon, post: 2708730, member: 8274"] [B]Where they excelled: [/B]Defence is obviously number 1 on this list. Having one of the best records in one on one tackles, missed tackles and so on really went a long way to getting us to within a minute of a premiership. Our attacking footy shouldn't be snubbed either, we play a dynamic, frantic pace footy that plays to the strengths of the players we have, and we did it without our best prop marching us down the field. McGuire's return, along with the possible signing of Ben Te'o is going to give us the oomph we need up front and will make us all the more dangerous. [B]Where they struggled:[/B] Agreed with OP. We concede way too many metres, even if we make them back in spades, we have to improve our line speed next year to avoid what happened in the 79th minute ever happening again. McC's service, Milf's kicking and Hunt's confidence will all need work but they should improve (less confident about McC but he had arguably his best year with us this year). [B] 2016 Crystal Ball:[/B] Hodgo might be gone, and he didn't go out on the note we all wanted him to, but he leaves the club in the best possible state it could be in. A strong forward pack upon Moose return, a deadly halves pairing that has got even the strongest haters of our club out there wondering how just dominant they will become, a backline that has too few spots for the quality players we have to fill them and a coach who just lost his most prized record in golden point and is the biggest reason why we're back where we are. All of this, and we're the shortest priced favorites for the 2016 premiership. There won't be any hype surrounding a J.T fairytale to hinder us this time, and our young players went from boys to men this year under Bennett's tutelage. The hurt will be there for months, but we have a lot to look forward to. I grade this season a 8.5 out of 10. The ending has hung a cloud over an otherwise great season that has turned us back into a force to be reckoned with. [/QUOTE]
