100% agree with that. Its just that you dont top up for a flag by moving on your depth - those guys are critical during a long season. You move on your depth when your list isn't good enough. We clearly knew our list wasn't good enough.
Exactly. Our best 22 was great, our depth was poor. That's why we only got a half eaten packet of chips for most of our players. No one rated their development because they weren't pushing out our senior players at all.
The learner doesn't become the master by waiting for the master to retire or to fade away in a loss of form. He becomes the master by being better than the master at his best. That's how you go from being a side that just makes finals to a genuine top four side and a premiership contender.
