Of course Corr, Williams and Saad could elevate us into the 8 if our list is healthy and they fill or strengthen roles we're lacking in.
Nobody here was calling us bottom 2 at the end of 2019 and the flipside is just as many things could go right and it could swivel the other way too.
Not predicting it will but every option is feasibly in play when a new season starts.
When the day Denis Pagan took over I don't think anyone in the land would've had us as a flag threat inside 3 months.
Anything is possible.
My view is that we shouldn't be taking blind optimism into list management decisions though KC. Not saying that is what you are proposing, however IMO whoever we need to bring in, needs to be brought in with the view they are going to make us better in 3 years time, rather then an immediate fix.
If we are bringing in senior players in certain positions to support the kids, then I completely support that (eg, Hodge at Brisbane). If we are bringing in senior players to try and plug holes and take short cuts (Hall, Polec, Pittard etc.) then we are just making the same mistakes again.
Part of the reason I am very happy with the Corr pickup is that it isn't a short-term move, it's to ensure that when Taz hangs up the boots in a couple years, we have a KPD safety net for Mckay and others we draft.
