Message: [QUOTE="the_next, post: 3061992, member: 9614"] I think Darius is in this side purely because there are no older heads other then himself, macca and Glenn, chuck into the factor that he is the captain. I never said Bellamy wouldn’t have done any better, he would have, no doubt, but I still don’t believe that we would have competed with the likes of the top teams this year. It’s not a dig at Wayne, it’s more about taking a broader more complete look, of what is actually going on. As for niko not being a half, that’s my opinion. Look at the warriors without him on Friday. I think he is a 14 or possibly a 9. I don’t agree with all seibs’ selections, but in some instances I think his hands are kind of tied. If macca and Boyd were both dropped from this squad, I think there would be large blacklash from the playing group. There is no doubt that Boyd and Macca are well loved and respected by their team mates. I think to some degree, seibs probably feels as though the large changes to the key positions, the players that he has agreed to release and all the young blood he has had to blood are probably about as much as any squad could handle in one season. I do recall reading something that as soon as the swap happened - between the two coaches, the hierarchy at Brisbane knew that this would be a rebuild year. From memory they didn’t seem too worried about not going deep into the finals purely because seibs was building for the future. I think next year we will find truely how this squad is going to perform. With a bit of luck Darius and the club will work out a position for him outside of the 17 [/QUOTE]
