Don't discount the signings of Glenn Morrison and Paul stringer also.
The major factor was a rookie named Tim Smith who provided over 50 try assists that year (still a record) without ever being rivaled as he teamed up with John Morris providing an odd but successful couple.
We also had the best bench in Marsh, Dean Widders and Moi Moi with winders being a stand out.
Ben Smith was sensational at centre too.

Brian Smith question - 2003 and 04. (Not 100% sure).
We only missed 2003 & 2004 with Brian Smith giving him a 80% success rate for getting us in the finals.
And Mick Cronin was the coach for when we had our biggest loss 68-0 against Canberra in 1993.
