Message: [QUOTE="Financeguy, post: 3488208, member: 8280"] I take your point about not needing to build a team around a prop if you have 3/4 of the spine as good players but premierships are still won with an equally good forward leader(s) We had Langer and Walters/Lewis for 4 years and didn't come really close (maybe 1990 but got smacked by both grand finalists in the semis) to a premiership. It wasn't until Lazzo that we broke through and i would argue that Webke and Civo were integral to our other GF wins. Harrigan was immense for the Knights in 1997 in both leadership (A Johns was early 20's and needed to be constantly pulled into lone) and general play. JFH was similar for Penrith, a hard bastard who allows the spine to operate with go forward. Also has the extra workload of team enforcer and protector of players like Luai and Chrichton that most opposition want to beat the shit out of. JWH also does it for Easts. IMO you could swap the players around in your questions and get similar answers... [/QUOTE]
