Quote: Mr. Zucchini Head "I think people saying the squad is going to be weaker need to look at the big picture rather than simply who's leaving and who's going.
Shaul, Lineham, Crooks, Green, Bowden are all one year older and are all better players then they were this time last year, look at Wigan, they don't sign loads of superstars year on year but they remain competive because their kids roll off the production like there is no tomorrow. With guys like Cunningham, the Tyson Wilsons etc. waiting in the wings we are getting closer to being like that ourselves. Miller hasn't set the world alight but there have certainly been enough flashes of brilliance to suggest that with a good preseason he can have a good year. On top of that the full side has experienced the big occasion at Wembley and the playoffs do us no harm either.
Besides the only big miss is Briscoe. Paea is better than O'Meley (loved having the Ogre here but his time is up), Thompson will offer everything that Galea did and is still young enough to improve. Paleaasina and Lynch can't even be compared, totally different players but what Feka does give us is size and aggression which we have lacked. So that leaves Tickle and Briscoe to replace. Let's see who else we bring in.'"
Absolutely spot on here,excellent post
