One of the things I am most interested in from year to year is how many of our players are capable of breaking into one of the previous year's top four or top three sides. In saying this I am not talking about "potential" they have to have the performances on the board. For mine only the following make the grade:
Stafford Simmo
Bowden J
Richo
Brown (I had to go back to 2005 form but he is a champion player)
Johnson
Pettifer is knocking on the door - his first half of last year's season was easily good enough but his second half wasn't. Raines also was worth a look for a back pocket possie but he's not there yet. His hiding from the WC youngster LeCras being a case in point. Cogs played two games last year at the right standard - right before he did his knee. Really can't think of anyone else who could walk into the best 22 of the top four sides. Lids would get games but only because the sides would be looking to develop him not because he is good enough to demand a place yet.
I wonder if next year we will be able to add to our list?
