I don't know about Tomkins being our only irreplaceable player, personally I'd have put O'Loughlin in there too - it makes such a difference having him fit and firing; for our organisation in attack and defence, and indeed his personal efforts in defence.
Also think Hock made a big difference to our attack - none of our back rowers have the same punch as he does.
I was quite happy with our defence against wire, I think that will be the interesting area this season - we've had no real weak links for some time (occasionally the Finch-Hock-Carmont channel if concentration was lost) but losing Leuluai had me worrying about the other side. Our attack will come in time with the younger players, they will learn what works at SL level.
