Message: [QUOTE="Renegade, post: 2615960, member: 1928"] Here's the other side of things - what if we're just not that good of a side, overall? For a couple of years now, we've heard how this side is supposedly building into something special, how we're so competitive and how soon it's all going to come up roses. Fact is, it hasn't, and while every 1 in 3 games we'll show a glimmer of something, guess what? So does every other team in the comp. Even Cronulla looks good every couple of games and their fans say the same thing, on paper, we can compete with anyone (with a full strength side). The problem is imo, a lot of our players are overrated. They are serviceable, I'm not suggesting we should dispense with half the side, but I just don't think they are as good as they are allegedly being made out to be. Gillett, Glenn, Thaiday are three in particular who'll do something above average once every couple of games but the games inbetween they are mediocre. Maybe Bennett will get more out of them, maybe he won't, but the delicious thing is sooner or later something is going to come to a head. Either Bennett improves them (but it won't be because of him, because you know, Bennett only ever rides coat tails), or they continue to play the same way (in which case it'll be all because of Bennett regardless of the fact they would have continued to play at subpar level for a few seasons consecutively). We got done by a better side with better players. Inglis was monstrous. [/QUOTE]
