Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 2955520, member: 8423"] Only if one or two of Milford and Taylor / another undiscovered young gun emerges. Yes, I know, I'm going to get labelled as negative, etc but it doesn't change the truth. The difference between this side this year and last year is the spine. The rest of the side is pretty much the same. Yes, NSW has finally chosen the right side but you can't expect to replace four legends in the spine positions and expect instant success. 1. Slater -> Ponga (looks ok on paper, let's see once teams start to work him out) 6. Thurston -> Milford / Munster / Norman / doesn't matter (this is a huge loss) 7. Cronk -> DCE / Hunt / Taylor (None of these are even close to Cronk at present, Taylor may get there but he's still a long way away for now) 9. Smith -> Macca (Ouch, this one seriously hurts. Smith is still the best 9 in the game, let alone best ever, huge loss, irreplaceable, particularly given Cook's emergence on the other side. Until a better 9 comes along, Qld are in for a few lean years, hopefully not Pearce-esque though. Nothing against Macca, he gives absolutely more than everything he has every single game, just everything he has is never going to be anywhere near Smith level, no shame in that) [/QUOTE]
