The thing about it is, in a lot of lines, we are starting to have a ton more players than we can fit in the 22. That's been one of the great things about doing this exercise of the Round 1 Best 22, The amount of players on each line that I've had to say, "Ooh... yeah I can't fit them in." For example, I didn't fit in Roberton, Wright, Saunders, Curren (that near killed me!), Saad (albeit because of the rookie thing), Murdoch, Membrey (although he could come in for Lee, but that creates another example of my point!), etc. And that's just off the top of my head.
There is real competition for spots. While none of them are competing to be as good as the Hawks or Swans next year, admittedly, they ARE competing with each other, and that should draw them to pursue further improvement. It's a deep list, even if it's not yet a mature one.
