Was it you who always said that you had to build the spine first and the rest will follow? If so you were right and, btw, I appreciate and agree with your positive post.
Yes, I have always strongly advocated (and I think Brother Elwood may have as well) getting the best big guys you can to form the spine and then fill in the rest of the roles as they become available.
Good big players never get any shorter late in tight matches when fatigue starts to kick in, it is the big key position players who win you the big matches. I'm sure there will be someone wanting to argue to the toss on that but history has shown multiple times that the theory is correct even if there has been an alternative bob up for a one-off success.
