It’s hard to tell..
I really loved watching ox play except the last year or 2 where he struggled with his groin injury.. and every dropout or penalty kick only went 15 meters and really killed us in some close games…
I feel like ox had the advantage of an all time team around him in their prime…
Glenn, choc, kitey,king,matai, Lyon, snake, Robertson… all those blokes were in their career primes when they played with Orford, where as dce got to play with them at the wrong end of their careers.. snake after 2 knee blowouts, matai after years of neck injury etc etc
Would have loved to see how they played if dce got all those blokes in their early 20s instead of injury ravaged and pushing 30
Dce got a prime turbo brothers combo but 1 is always injured and combined they take up most our cap so the rest of the players around them can’t come close to a player of a watmough or Lyon or Glenn skill wise
