My thoughts exactly. Admittedly haven't seen much of their newest recruits, but our midfield mix feels so much more dynamic.Erasmus is probably like for like, but they have stepped back in the cycle a little bit.
I dunno if it's just me, but their midfield doesn't really strike fear into me tbh.
Brayshaw is a jet, but he's a workhorse, Serong is a bit the same. They are in the Simpkin bracket for mine, but Brayshaw is better defensively than Jy.
They don't have a Thomas, JHF or even Stephenson type through there. We are basically unique in that regard with that amount of potential scoring power from midfield.
What they do have is an elite young ruckman.
Simpkin, LDU, Thomas, Powell, JHF, Phillips, Stephenson etc. are all so different in playing styles and strengths.
They do have us covered in the ruck department. Though interested to see how Xerri/CCJ go this season.
