They have the biggest out with the departure of Buddy, but have traded well to pick up McEvoy. They look to be flying and they have generally played well with Franklin not in the team. But he will be a significant loss and release the oppositions best defenders to lesser players. Yeah, yeah what about Roughy, Gunston and Cyril…..- good as they may they ain’t Sir Lancelot! What does make them still the yardstick is their balance of talent in all areas. They appear in better shape than 2009 and whilst there are a few questions, they still rate as the top team.
