Totally agree on wishing the Nix played like that.
We have a side which was succesful last year playing muscle football. We physically bossed the midfield with two bruisers in Lia and Brown. We then relied on the flair of Ifill to provide the attack supported by Greenie and Dadi.
I doubt we have the players with the skill to play a Roar type of game. It would require a major cleanout of players....which is not going to happen. In reality Rickie will keep on going for a few more years.....his era will end at the same time as his senior players like Ifill, Greenie Daniel etc retire.
