Is BJ now our most important player?

Reiwoldt has a gameplan built around him.

Interesting point.

However based on those comments of Ross on BJ just after he started I would also be confident that BJ talents have shaped the gameplan that Ross had in mind for the Saints too...albeit most likely to a lesser degree.

I think out of all the players on our list that Roo and BJ were the two players that he saw as being quite different to what all other teams possessed.

A worthy concept... except that I'm not sure "throw him wherever we're not dominating" really constitutes a plan so much as a luxury.

I don't mean to disparage BJ (or any of our other talents) by not putting them on Roo's level of importance. However, the attribute that is really making Goddard devastating is his flexibility... and while I agree this is high on the Lyon selection criteria, it's also what leads me to my conclusion.

Who is the one gamebreaker on the team whose role could not be performed by Goddard?

Magnificent GF by BJ....and by Lenny.

This year has stamped BJ asa true elite of the game.

I dont think there has been a better performance in a Grand Final.

Just an amazing game.

That performance puts him into the elite of the elite.
