Hang on, lets not go too far here, if they can get top4 they would have done well. Most talented team in the comp, thats crap. How many players did they have in origin last year nd it the test match??
International
Aust: king
N.z Kidwell nd webster (who isnt even a kiwi!)
SOO
NSW- .........................................
QLD - Cam Smith nd slater for 1 game (crocker not included)
If they were to be the most talented side in the comp, surley they would have more rep players.
No need to 'hang on'. 100% stand by the claim - clearly the most talented squad in the comp. Look as though they
2006 Internationals - Webster, Kidwell,
SOO (QLD) - Inglis, Smith, Dallas Johnston (will play)
SOO (NSW) - King (+ international)
SOO missing due to suspension - Slater & Crocker
Throw in Scott Hill. (former International)
That's 9. More than handy, considering off season departures of Kearns, Orford & Bell.
But aside from the talent, more importantly, they are playing well as a team and don't rely on one player (i.e. Half Back to win games).
If they don't finish top 2, IMO, they will have under-achieved.
