Kreuzer is, and always has been, a gun and critical to our success
A side can be built around Cripps
A side is being built around Cripps with Kennedy, SPS, Dow, Obrien, Curnow
The new recruits are the cherry on top but there's still some baking to do yet
McKay has a bit to go, but needs a crack at it at senior level without Levi @#$%&! him up
Plowman isn't long-term, IMO
Levi has some positives, but negatives mean he'll never be A grade
Marchbank is awesome
SOJ has a bit to go before I'd classify him as firmly in our best 22. He's a great kick when he gets it, but doesn't damage the opposition
Fisher is a gun
Weitering is improving heaps
I think we've now got the young talent to give us a dynasty between 2020 and 2030
I really don't see he has more negatives than the vast majority of the list. Every player makes errors but people seem to focus on some more than others. But maybe I've got rose coloured glasses when it comes to Bolt.
While SOJ doesn't dominate I'd say the opposite re how damaging his disposals are.
Overall I couldn't be much happier with our overall progression.
Can't wait to have Willo back!!!
