Just looking at the way the game is played, you do not need great expensive forwards.
The rules and speed of the game is such that getting to the opposition 20 is very very easy.
Yards are so easy to come by in the modern NRL
What you DO NEED is a GREAT spine. At least 3 of the 4 members of the spine need to be ELITE. The majority of the cap should be spent on this, like the Storm, Rabbits, Panthers and Roosters have done.
You just need workers, toilers in the pack and capable outside backs.
If you have at least 3 of the 4 members of the spine that are ELITE, you will be there at the pointy end of the season.
Gone are the days of expensive forwards. You do not need them
The game has changed. Its like the referees do anything and everything and find any reason for the game to be played on the try lines for the attacking teams.
