that's cooky talk ... would've improved our side and our play / leadership but our current squad is much more than just a cameron smith shy of a premiership, let alone a dynasty...
there are so many factors and elements and luck ect that all have to align absolutely perfectly for any side to win a premiership nowadays ...
As far as I see it, the main things we are missing in order to be premiership contenders are:
Quality Halves, Quality Hooker, Quality Coach and Quality Defence.
Smith would have added something in each of those areas, as he's a terrific defender, the best hooker, makes halves look better and clearly has an excellent footy brain. There would still be question marks because no one knows if that'll be enough for the halves to become good and the rest of the team could still be dudding it up in defence...but just one signing would be a huge step in the right direction.
