The reality is, Bullemor will likely go on to be a really, really good player and origin player as well and for Qld's sake, hopefully he does. However, we had too many young gun forwards and you could make an argument for any of them for or against and whoever left, we were always going to be disappointed but then for the sadness, look at the young forwards we still have.
Losing him sucks, I totally agree and think he could have been a huge point of difference for us but I love the kids we have retained and even someone like Carrigan, while maybe not as seemingly talented as Bullemor, is a necessary part in any side. Unfortunately, unless you are the Roosters, Panthers or Storm, you cannot have superstars in every position.
