There are plenty of teams with top 10s full of the types of players you're talking about who didn't make a grand final. I think it's a bit reductive to consider it at all informative.The point I'm making is that it's largely a list of uncontested, outside players. The only defender on the list is a mainly uncontested, attacking defender. No key defenders, no lockdown defenders, only two two-way players. You can get a good gist of what we're about from who our coaches perceived to be our top ten performing players. Compare it with Brisbane's top 10 from this year, or our top 10 from our premiership in 2012, and I think you can see where things start to go wrong for us.
It's absolutely not a criticism of the players.
