Pretty much agree with this. Our backline didn't lose us the final, not did our forwards. We lost the inside 50 count massively and yet we nearly pinched the game, which tells me we outperformed North at both ends whatever deficiencies there may have been in individual performances. We rely on two players to win clearances: Miles and Cotchin. When one or both of them fail we're stuffed. Both are relatively small and, since Jacko and Tuck retired, we've lacked big bodies in the centre (apart from Grigg at times, but he's not naturally an inside mid and Maric himself when he's in beast mode).
