It’s the reason we were not finishing in the best possible position to win the finals season on season.
We had our best chance in 2011 and screwed it up. Either side of that, we just have lacked heavy clout.

You finish top throughout the regular season, the final is almost routine and easier on the players.

Agreed 2020 doesn’t have that requirement, and has so will be a token championship for whoever wins.

I thought your mantra for not winning those finals was not having a back on the bench?

You used to repeat that ad nauseum a few years back, certainly for 2013

This is true as for the final.
TS dropped a bollox. He gambled on 4 forwards that would have paid off...but for the mind of of Wane who worked out the bombshell.
...But the quality of front line forwards across a season and sustained applies.
I want 3 props on that pitch at any one time. With 2 more on the bench, one light forward utility and a back utility.
Or 3 props on the bench and a forward/back utility, the likes of a Grix or Livett.

You look at the depth of front forwards during Asotasi and Sim.
