Don't to forget to add Paul Johnson and Oliver Wiles (possibly Lautiti stepping into the front row) to that list. I would disagree with you all the way on that one. I could be generous and say your four first choice will be on similar ability to ours but as you can see our depth and option of rotation makes me think we are better equipped for the long campaign. Comfortably better equipped I would say!

milner, clark with hudson as back up is better than ellis, davey and wood at back up.
Or rising star Matty Wilde to step into that position who impressed last year and bags of potential probably more than Milner and as much as Clarke. Motu Tony is also available to cover in that position. Considering our depth is stronger I would again say we are better equipped for next year.

Don't forget to add Issac Luke to that. Plus we have players that are more than capable of dropping into that position such as Wilde, Washbrook and Morrision.
Orr I feel is at the end of the road, he's clearly lost a lot of pace you have to have questions marks about whether he can keep the pace especially come business end of the season. Chase we all know is first class and he is basically a one man band. The lack of depth you have after Chase is a really worry. At least last season you had Widders to drop into that position which I thought was one of the strong features of your game, something that you will miss for sure.
Considering our real strength in depth in them positions it's hard to argue that Cas will be stronger. Just hope your one man Rangi show doesn't get injured because you will be in real trouble then.
