Hmmmm, yes I have some bias towards Sullivan, but see there are these things called stats, and they also show that Sullivan has it all over Buderus. Just because the media hypes a particular player up means crap, the stats do the talking!
I will agree on this level however, Buderus is all 'class' when he as a NSW or Australian side around him - who wouldnt!? Look at him for Newcastle, nothing special, and thats what the stats indicate.
As for the dogs, who will be their bench prop? Without Price they will lack a decent prop coming of the bench, Asotasi was effective in this role. Without him, they have crap. I know one particular prop who would become the prop but cant remember his name, either way, he is crap n e way. And with a deficiency up front, the backs wont get the go forward they need to make use of Anasta and crappy Sherwin. You mention Grimaldi and Perry, that was a joke right? They wouldnt even be in Souths 1st grade. lol
The sharks on the other hand have Nutley and Stevens to start, and a bunch of mean looking kiwis on the bench in the likes of Hutch from the bulldogs (not sure if hes NZ though, not even sure if he will be in 1st grade, but at least it shows depth!), once they get the ball in opposition territory with such go forward, the backs will finish it off like they did with limited opportunities last year. Thats where Dykes, Covell, Kimmorley, Peachey, Mellor & Vagana (just to mention a couple of gun players) will shine in 05.
