There isn’t much to rectify. It’s a pretty good team. They have a good 17 + depth, and players that can play various positions (a big strength of his Dragons teams). You make it out like they are perennial wooden spooners. I’m quite surprised that my selection of Knights as minor premiers is knocking your noses out of place. Gidley to push for Dally M.

Jamie Soward was a great U20's player and was always going to excel in first grade, regardless of his coach. I bet the Roosters are still ruing how they let him slip through their ranks, much like we do with Thurston & Hayne.

He was one of NSW’s better performers. They should have persisted with him. Poore was injured and completely fell off.
