Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 3347730, member: 8814"] I think it's the right strategy but very short sighted, given there's a few big differences..... 1. This isn't 1988 2. Salary cap 3. Wally Lewis and gene miles, among others, vs jesse bromwich and felise kafusi (haha) 4. Their experienced players seem to be even older then that lot by the time they play 5. Again, salary cap. They have to fill quality players around them if they do get too old and form falls off a cliff in a year or 2.... 6. When all the experienced players retire so will Bennett. Hello Newcastle knights. He filled the roster the same way there. Dolphins will surprise a lot 1st year. I believe they'll be top 8 easily actually, as long as they sign a half decent spine. They will remain decent for years 2 and 3 with Bennett's aura still around, but once he steps aside and 1/2 their squad leaves or plays on 1 or 2 years too long at the same time they will be bottom 2-3 every year for a few years running. They need to stand up to Bennett like souffs did and make sure his recruitment strategy is not ENTIRELY based around the time he is there. Maybe they are doing that, but little evidence of it so far. They need some QUALITY 24-27 year olds (still a year away till they play) to carry the torch [/QUOTE]
