Maybe but factor in 13 new players in 2005 & 16 in 2008 which were 2 years when we had massive injury tolls. I don't know how the salary cap & Top 30 system would cope with that sort of load these days.
We used over 32 players in the 2005 season - and this was when it was a 25 man squad.
01. Luke Patten/Trent Cutler/Luke Young (2)
02. Hazem El Masri/ Filinga Filiga (4)
03. Ben Harris/Jamal Lolesi (6)
04. Willie Tonga/ Cameran Phelps (8)
05. Matt Utai/Makasini Rickhter (10)
06. Braith Anasta (11)
07. Brent Sherwin/Brett Oliver (12)
08. O'Meley/Ben Czilworstcunt/Brad Morrin/Charlie Tonga (16)
09. Adam Perry/Corey Hughes/Daniel Irvine (19)
10. Willie Mason/Chris Armit/Roy Asotasi (22)
11. Nate Myles/Adam Brideson (24)
12. Andrew Ryan/Reni Matuia (26)
13. Sonny Bill Williams/Dallas McIllwain/Daniel Conn/Tony Grimaldi (30)
I am sure I am missing some, just off the top of my head.
