Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2462803, member: 1808"] Actually it did especially what Juilian O'Neill provided as a fullback for the side which is very much a key position in a side, Carne was clearly not the player he used to be and the difference between the two was very much noticeable, neither were Kerrod Walters, Alan Cann and Michael Hancock (who only improved after getting the wakeup call his subpar performances weren't acceptable) so thats 4 key players who weren't anywhere near their best, listing them at that time as being up there with the others in quality, consistency and performance in that timeframe is misleading. You cannot honestly stand there and tell me that the club didn't suffer from not having a player of the quality of O'Neill there at fullback during a time when they lacked the depth necessary to match him with proven experienced performers at the club. If having that roster was so great to the point that losing one player has no influence on your side we wouldn't have been bundled out of the finals so easily during that time frame. Indirectly though you were justifying it because you were arguing that because you disliked the system and NRL are partly to blame for the Storm's and Bulldogs own actions which is an arguement that lessons the blame on the Storm and Bulldogs and shifts it onto the NRL, but then you have other sides who play by the rules and have to pay the price for it, its like a kick in the guts. I appreciate you dislike the system I myself do, but I don't think the hate towards those clubs is any less justified just because of it. [/QUOTE]
