In 2015 our pack absolutely slayed the competition until JWH tore his ACL.
So just to compare the two in terms of personnel and/or formline...
2015___________________________2018 version
Jared Waerea Hargreaves ______Chris Beattie
Jake Friend____________________Ben Jones
Dylan Napa____________________Shane Shackleton
Boyd Cordner__________________Boyd Cordner
Aiden Guerra__________________Ryan Matterson
Isaac Liu______________________Isaac Liu
SST___________________________ACL
Sam Moa_____________________Zane Tetevano
Jane Evans____________________Victor Radley
Mitchell Aubusson_____________Mitchell Aubusson
Ok so the point is, in terms of personnel, Sam Moa is the only really big loss. A huge one on 2015 form tbh as he was a powerhouse.
Everyone else has regressed or been hindered either due to injury (SST), plain old poor form (Nappy, 7 tackle Sally) or a combination of the two (JWH).
But the make up of that dominant 2015 pack is still there! The merkins just need to get their shit together and quick.
So I guess this thread is both an indictment on the form of our pack in comparison to 2015, but also offers some hope that if they all rediscover their best form then they still have the ability to dominate.
