Not trying to say the signings are big names like the Magpies bunch, but the key areas that were missing are glowing atm in 2013 with extra aggression & effort from these lessor name players - similar to those mentioned earlier from 2008.
Though I was a massive Boyd fan & also have great memories of Joe Cool Dorahy we only won a midweek cup with these guys on board.
I think in terms of great big name signings & results, 1987 with Mick O'conner, Ward & my old fave Rambo Gibbs got the job done.
For mine the signing of BK has really shaped us since in recent times with Killer the X Factor on every level & part of everthing good today.
The recruitment I refer to includes bargain buys & from early signs, these guys are competing for a top grade spot & this helps maintain good intensity that was missing in 2012 imo.
Also picking up these unwanted players, I feel our recruiting staff done their homework & are well above a pass mark atm.
