To reiterate.....no talent....pffft.

4 x #1s -              Gibbs, Smurf, Special K & Weitering & Josh Fraser

2 x #10s -            Gorringe, Sumner
2 x #11s -            Everitt, McKay
2x #12s -              Jaksch, Docherty
#13 -                    Cripps
#18 -                Wood
#19 -                    Cuningham

Add Kerridge (walk up starter) - #27 draftee in 2011.

Other proven performers - 2E, Jamo, Simmo, Levi, Wright, Lamb (#21 draftee in 2010)

I have added Wood to your list and Josh Fraser, simply because Weitering included him in our five number 1 draft picks

It is a pretty strong list on paper when it comes to draft picks but we lack numbers in the critical 24 to 26 year old age bracket.  That may not be an issue if the older blokes continue to perform and the younger blokes step up.  We only have five 20 to 21 year olds and that may become an issue in future.  I expect SOS will be looking to address our age structure at the end of this season along with other deficiencies that may become evident.  I don't expect wholesale changes but that will depend on performances and buy in to Bolton's approach.
