Message: [QUOTE="Culhwch, post: 3395905, member: 1983"] If Reynolds maintains his current form and stays healthy for the duration of his current contract, I see us building into serious contenders over the next couple of years, and I don't even think we need that many pieces. Honestly, if we could just get one more excellent-to-elite player into the spine to complement Reynolds, I think we have enough elsewhere that can do a job and make us very competitive. Some mix of Martin, Gamble and Paix across two of the 1/6/9, if not asked to do too much, could be enough. And that's not considering the potential of Cobbo or Mam to slot into the spine within the next year or so. So priority one - get the spine sorted and settled and consistent. My second priority would be to make sure we have some explosive options in the backline - oh, hello, Staggs and Cobbo - and one or two really top quality cornerstone forwards - hmmm, seems like we have a few of those as well. Then, fill in the gaps with solid, hard working players who know their roles and do their jobs consistently, with a nice balance of experience and potential. I'd want to build a team where accountability and trust is key, where hard work is rewarded, mistakes are learnt from, and mediocrity is not tolerated. Focus on defense, instil an attitude where any amount points scored against is too many, but also introduce structures in attack, and ensure everyone knows where they should be and what they should be doing at any given point and in any given scenario. Lastly, I want to make sure that there is always a next-man-up that can fill a spot, and a succession plan for Reynolds so that there's just a smooth transition after he retires following the inevitable grand final win in his last season.
