Fuck the haters. It was inevitable that we'd gather talent again once we washed off the slime that Des, Dib and co left coating the place.
The Anderson ticket seem to have started off well by getting some quality in the juniors. But we've finally got to the point where the big money Hasler signings are gone (Foran, Hopoate) and the mistakes that barred our moving forward are also nullified (think of the money paying guys like Woods etc to play elsewhere).
So I don't think we're suddenly on the same level talent wise as the Roosters, will be closer in 23, but we've recruited really well for a wooden spoon team. You have to hit rock bottom before climbing up again. We took a lot of years to sink, we've just rocketed back to a point where we're going to compete again after a long decline.
