Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3464652, member: 1769"] I think our back up options are actually better (at least in the key positions) than last year. Gamble may have been a fan favourite (because of his niggle), but was an average player at NRL level. Madden has more talent and hasn't played that many less games at NRL level than Gamble did. Turpin was just plain shit, so Smoothy/Paix/Billy (whoever doesn't get the starting gig) are all massive upgrades on him. Mozer could also do the same thing as Mam did last year, by mid season, if one of those 3 don't demand selection. It's been a long time since we've had any depth in the fullback position. Hell in the last 2 years, we haven't even had anyone make a claim to be our permanent starting fullback, that finally changes in 2023 and we add two guys who will be able to do a decent job for us if Walsh goes down. Then there is the main experienced forward depth option. I think it's fair to say that almost no one was upset to see James and Kennedy leave, giving the likes of Bayliss-Brow, Willison and Piakura the opportunity to stake their claims for a spot in the 17.
