Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3474175, member: 9052"] Yep and I can see a number of players in our Top 30 that are probably not capable of providing that true depth and are therefore not providing the value for money required of the roster spot... unless they suddenly become NRL quality overnight. If we lost Riki or Capewell for 4-6 weeks due to an MCL who comes in to replace them.... noting we need them to play 80mins. Piakura has yet to have a consistent run of Qcup and Palasia isn't mobile enough. Who else is there after those two? Can Bayliss do the job that Kennedy was doing last year... Kennedy was down the pecking order, but could still come in and have an impact on the game when needed. Willison might be able to, but he's barely played Qcup and had shoulder recos in the off season... he will need time in Qcup to figure out his game and what works for him. Willison, Quai-Ward and Mozer have barely played Qcup but may be relied on to play games throughout the year when origin (including resting), suspension, drop in form, and injury come into it. Quai-Ward less so due to the depth Mariner looks NRL ready but has barely any Qcup or NRL experience, and Pereira, Arthars and Hoeter look to be able to perform a role if needed. But ultimately at the moment guys like Piakura, Willison, Quai-Ward, Mozer, Bayliss and now TC are taking up 20% of the top 30 roster... but are they providing adequate depth and value for money. Some of these guys have been given Top 30 spots purely to retain them, because of potential... which might work out, but it leaves very little depth to cover the starting 17 each week if you can't rely on them at any given point in the year.
