Yeah I would agree they were probably more solid than flair but I really do think the standards outside of the top 3 (or maybe 4) have dropped a lot.
I think at the minute we have a lot of guys(about 8-10) who on an individual basis are a lot better than what we had in that era however collectively I think the standard is a lot less than it was.
Once you drop beneath the top 3 or 4 in division 1 the standard is very poor.
I'd tend to disagree with this, there is certainly a gap between the top four and the rest in Division 1 possibly even the Top 3 with St Galls obviously still ahead of the pack however i think this is more to do with these teams progressing at a quicker pace.
Id argue that if the teams ranked 5th to 10th in Division 1 now would beat the Teams ranked the same 10 years ago on the majority of occasions.
