Is it just me, or have the QLD selectors kinda shot themselves in the foot over the last few years. We have had a brilliant team with a great core of Scott, Myles, Thaiday, Parker, JT, Slater, Inglis, Boyd and Smith. We have had players come in like Guerra, taylor, mcqueen, gillett, chambers etc with only a few of them doing anything to warrant selection again. However, because we kept winning the selectors kept picking the same team, never picking new players unless forced to because of injury / suspension. Players like Gillett, Taylor and McQueen would have been dropped had we lost, yet because we win it never happened.
Now, we are looking at trying to win back the shield, but it seems like we are going to do the same thing, pick the same team unless forced into change. If we are speaking realistically, Segeyaro wont be picked. They will stick with DCE on the bench, which is stupid. Gillett will be picked despite his form not warranting it. I am worried Papalii and Mcqueen will also somehow make their way into the team over players like Napa and Cooper.
Winning is great, but unless you are continually trying to improve while you win, you will get to a point where u are left with a team of "winners" that can no longer win. I am very worried that we will see the same team as last year where possible and those guys that were carried (such as Gillett) will get another free shot.
