It seemed to me like the saints went to Riewoldt when he was triple or double teamed last year because he was the only reliable focal point.
It appears the load is being spread and brings us a less predictable forward structure.
Sometimes spilling the ball for the small forwards can be better than Roo in close on an angle.
I still would rather have 3 Nick Riewoldts running around but I think it may not be a bad thing for the others to show their skills and let them become legitimate options on the lead.
...yep.....they are also playing better because banger left too..........
...now if we can only get rid of dal, lenny and joey, we should have the premiership in the bag......
Our rich vein of form goes further back than that stinger, since 1971 in fact, the year Ian Stewart joined the Tigers.
We haven't looked back since then, we've gone from strength to strength.
