How have we done that? Due to finishing top 8 and the compo picks pushing the order back, we only ever had 2 picks in the first 50 anyway, and we've got three players in while keeping our 1st pick. Caddy was got very much at a value price, McIntosh was for a late second rounder and Rivers cost us nothing. Now only time will tell whether the players make the contribution we hope they will, but you can't question the price paid at this point in time-we've paid very low prices IMO.
Agree completely.
We have got a best 22 which will be genuinely competitive next year (including, effectively 6 recruits to replace the one retiree), coupled with a list of at least 8 young back-ups to cover for injuries and, at the same time, replace the players as they retire from 2013-2015
