2008 team Vs 2020

[KiwiDog7]

Sonny also walked out on the team so 2008 had far more adversity

Never mind the fact that Tonga Utai Maitua missed most of the season due to injury and elmasri also missed chunks and Barba was a rookie and barely featured and debuted in the week that sbw walked out which was rd 20 I think

Even with all that there is still more talent in the 2008 team and we're playing under much harsher conditions (which is why we don't have the talent). We lost all of our best players and they still haven't been replaced. Napa was supposed to replace Klemmer, was never going to happen. We've bought Thompson and DWZ besides that it's been depth players (that have had to play). Obviously CHN doesn't count now. We've also lost two of our best players in an already inferior side.

Tonga was injured most of year, Utai was out most of the year, Barba barely featured because he was a rookie and didn’t debut until rd 20, Maitua was injured most of the year lol
Deadset flop you are

Alzz you’ve got the IQ of a thimble mate. Utai and Maitua played at least half the season out. Each played triple if not quadruple the amount of games that the majority of your cherry picked list of hacks played.

Still big effort...coach of the year 2009

 

[jpneves]

The fact with 2008 was the following year the team finished top 4 after a ‘clean out’

 

[James zac]

The 08 team would be round the 8 in this Mickey Mouse two teird comp we got now our 20 team is just garbage

 

[Berries]

How bad was 2005?

 

[bowleggedwog]

2020 has should definitely be winning games. They hear every day we don't have the cattle and instead of fighting like an under dog they coward and gave up. They hear every day we try but don't have an excuse, now pay says we need 4 players to compete. Way to go building confidence, change players every week, drop wingers when forwards don't aim up (thinks his Siebold). We need a coach to build these guys up, we aren't going to buy 17 players next year . Time to bring in the guys to teach develop and build confidence. It may not just be 1 guy but a team. But a new ceo is needed as well.

 

[Kebab74]

Lol the might ducks would put 40 plus on that 2008 team

 

[blueyedsamurai]

None of those names stand out, reminds me of old sports games that didn't have licenses for real players so they made them up.
