I never said that we're relying on Dal Santo at all. I merely stated what he brings to the table. To my mind, the people we really rely on are Swallow, Ziebell, Cunnington & Wells. These are the guys who dictate how we go. When their intensity is up, Dal and everybody else comes into play. Dal Santo is the added class on top of the grunt work. Of course, Wells is a special case - he's both sublime class and grunt!
I don't necessarily disagree with any of that (although you rate NDS higher than I do, I think he's near finished), but I think you did imply we are relying on NDS in with the statement "if we manage to keep up our intensity for the remainder of the season, Dal Santo's work will take us to the next level".
I think we have multiple more important players than NDS that can achieve that. Starting with a fit and firing Goldstein, Higgins' return and class, and fit half back flankers that can actually do the job.
