If we were to add a prime Jarryd Hayne and a prime Semi Radradra to our current squad do you think we'd be a premiership threat?

Nope, our forwards are nowhere near good enough
let's say you add them + Hindy and Fuifui then yes I think we would be a threat
You don't think the yardage of Hayne and Semi would lay a better platform for our forwards?
it won't be enough, their yardage won't help our slow ruck in the middle
It's all connected though. Penrith's big advantage in the last 6 years has been the way their backline takes the ball carrying pressure off their middles. At their peak, Leota and JFH were averaging between 120 and 150 metres per game (I'm leaving out 2020 as it's so out of whack it basically needs its own stat category. Meanwhile Brian To'o and Dylan Edwards averages between 170 and 210 metres per game.
They get the sets rolling, allow the Penrith middles to recover and then step up their middle defence to pin opponents on the goal line.
Having at least 2 backs that average 10m or more per carry to start sets mean your forwards get a rest and can use their energy in defence to limit the opponents' yardage, causing fatigue and pressure which then becomes cyclical pressure and leads to dropped balls and errors.
If you add prime fui fui and Hindy.cause even with prime Hayne and semi.our fowards would just be a letdown
Prime Nathan Brown and Beau Scott in our foward pack would go along way.
How under appreciated is prime N Brown for us
Not be me.
I really thought in 2016 when we signed Kieran Foran that was our circuit breaker with him in the mix with the team he had around him I thought we would have been top 4 for that year and many years after that.How cruel it was the front office managed to screw that also.
The front office didn't screw that, Kieran Foran did. Unless you're talking about the salary cap cheating, in which case, we wouldn't have signed all those players without it.
The front office screwed it because they got caught cheating that was the bigger issue.Foran unfortunately his body was at the end of it by the time he got to us and the mental state hurt him also.
