Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 2871808, member: 8814"] Age has everything to do with a premiership window. A 20 year old proven talent has 10-15 years to win a premiership, a 35 year old has 1 chance left. Therefore, the window is opened wider... All except Sua, fai and haas are already proven weekly nrl performers. That's 15 other players I named... I'll give you some examples of closing premiership windows: The sharks: a lot of 30+ year olds who have 1-2 seasons left/to win it with a gun squad before a re build The cowboys: Thurston and Scott retiring, performing admirably without them this year but won't win the trophy without reinventing themselves over a few seasons post thurstons retirement The storm: losing the great coach ever seen on a footy field (smith) within 2 years as well as 2 stars of their generation. This is where your "not proven weekly grind performers" will come in to play (croft and Brendan smith will take a few years to develop in big games, just like ours have (Thurston and smith weren't kings of every single big game from 19-28, people forget this) We are losing Adam Blair, hunt and Thaiday... with the progression of TPJ and (admittedly hopefully) Sua as players, and McGuire and gillett as leaders Thaiday won't be missed at all. We only need 2 of lodge-haas-fai-ofa-carrigan to kick on (all very well regarded talents) to be in a better position then we are currently in our forwards. Edit: moga, ese and arrow as well but they wont be the difference to a premiership Hunt is a good halfback but he gets in the way of Milford and buckles under pressure, without him we remove these 2 obstacles from our title aspirations... All in all, our premiership window seems to be expanding lol [/QUOTE]
