[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 625426, member: 45355"] I actually think it is the other way around, because we only have 1 or two "key players" we don't have a division between the "starters" and the rest, if someone goes down their replacement is more than likely just as good as they were and so we will notice less of a difference. Last year we had these game plans around the "stars" we had brought in...and then when they were out of form (woodcock) or banned (nonu)...we had guys that couldn't execute the plan i took real positive out of the game for both teams, we won based on our defence, first two try came from turn overs in the tackle or pressure on the kicker. that techique will work on all teams. the crusaders of old won championships based on the brick wall defence. we just need to keep it going for 80 minutes the blues were down by 24 points and yet kept playing and actually constructed two of their 3 tries, they were well in it by the end. I didn't think Noakes did as badly as everyone else seems to. benji or kerr to start but i would be happy with Noakes on the bench [/QUOTE]
