I feel like I've typed this before, but i'll give it another go.
We don't really know how good the halves we have are - and we won't till we see what they can do behind a quality pack next year.
Towards the end of last year we won 3 in a row. what happened was that Jake Saifiti, Josh King and Fitzgibbon all started playing like firstgraders, and for the first time all year we held our own against opposition packs - and suddenly Lamb and Hodko were good enough to get the job done - surprize, surprize.
Hodko could be every bit as good as Maloney - we wouldn't know because we have been playing him behind a reserve grade pack.
Lamb could be the next big thing - we wouldn't know because we have been playing him behind a reserve grade pack.
Cogger could be only 20 years old and have played for NSW and Australia at every level imaginable, and looked brilliant doing it (oh wait - we know that - it happened)
In short, these guys have been playing with one hand tied behind their backs. Next year we'll see how they go when the forwards give them a platform to work from.
