There's your long term core ie. 5+ years that we are building this team around (Russell is included as a #4 IMO). Gio will transition from top pair to a leadership bottom pair role as he gets older.
Can that core win us a championship? There are many, many factors in play and it's impossible to know but from what I am seeing sitting here at the end of 2014 I think that yes, they have the potential to.
