Message: [QUOTE="Hamm.0, post: 2173833, member: 1852"] I don't see any reason to stop us finishing top 5. I think realistically we will finish between 8th and 4th, I easily see us in the major semi's. Whilst our pack is untested together; it still has Clinton, Sims, Kenny, Thaiday. All of who (barring Kenny) would have had disappointing seasons from their own personal viewpoints. If Thaiday can simply retain the form he had at the start of the season and in the finals, Clinton shows us what we have only seen (which were increasingly more as the season went on) glimpses of and Sims steps up, then it will be easy for the likes of Te'o and Setu to follow suit. Not to mention that Gorrell has proved with the Dragons he can get a pack moving and if the whiz-kid McCullough is what people say he is, he should take little time before he is demanding metres from his pack as well. Add to this mix a dynamic and inspiring forward coach who never cut corners in his own career and would expect nothing less from his pack and I think they will be able to hold their own. In reality; besides Warriors, Bulldogs, Dragons and Storm there is no other pack in the comp that our boys can't roll over. And that's without watching them grow together. For mine, the biggest recruitment and best move that Ivan (not YOUR mate Bruno) has made, is to surround himself with a few passionate former greats. These "co-coaches" are who are going to pull us through the next 2 seasons IMO. I don't know about you, but I reckon if Webcke was my coach and saw me not giving 100%, IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢d be scared because I reckon he'd let me know very fucking quickly. As for the backs, we have Lockyer still and the second greatest player of all time is back on the training paddock. Therefore our younger backs are training and getting advice from 2 of the greatest players to ever lace a boot and our pack is being run by arguably the toughest and best forward I've seen. Good things in 09, maybe not the trophy, but good things. [/QUOTE]
