The Sharks still have: Fifi, Gallen, Graham (when fit), Prior, Dugan, Moylan, SJ, Townsend etc so plenty of experience there including GF winners. We have Boyd, Bird, Gillett, Glenn, Macca. Two of those shouldn't in the side (Boyd and Macca), Glenn is average and should be gone for Fifi and will be soon enough, Bird is basically playing his first season at the club for all intents and purposes, and Gillett is struggling with his own game and seemingly not a leader. We aren't really comparable to the Sharks in terms of experience and leadership, they have far more of it.
I guarantee come next year when our pack is more experienced and they're rolling teams consistently that we will be reading melt down articles about how we can afford to have all this great young talent in our side and who are we going to lose due to the cap etc. Probably will get teams feeling out contracted players through the media (a loop hole to negotiate with players under contract that I'm convinced certain sides utilize).
