    I don't know why people think that Cav needs a lead out train to win.

    It certainly helps, but he still accelerates away from everyone when he goes for the line.

    The only trouble he'll have in Geelong is if the finish is on a small rise, 'cos I think Roger Hammond will still be good enough to lead him out by the ned of next year, and hopefully Cav's kick will have improved again. I can't blinkin wait!

    He doesn't need a train necessairly to deliver him to the finish line, but he needs a team who can bring it down into a sprint finish, which in the worlds is always tricky. You need those people to be able to pull it together with 240km already under their belt.
    Note: the above post is an opinion and not fact. It might be a lie.
