I don't think they will take that long and I think Kev will be excited by the thought of the new blood. Arrow was a machine, Ponga showed he can handle it, DCE was great, Hunt off the bench worked a treat, Kaufusi was solid.
On the flip side, I thought Hess and Wallace were a little down and Cooper will be another year older with more wear and tear. You can't underestimate the impact of no Gillette this year either. Ingliss was huge in game 1, but game 2, meh...and not there for the win. He may not be there next year.
Qld will enjoy next year and will be able to approach the series without the bombshells that they had to deal with this year. I'm positive the vibe will be upbeat with a chance to embrace a whole new feeling around the team. More new blood!!
It'll be fun to watch!!
