top 4 easy…we can dream...
 
I wont go predicting the team for next year myself, but from the way this team has gone this year and the signing/rumoured signings for next year, i really believe we are in for a good year. I have more hope for next year than i have had for the past 2years.
 
Isee you dont rate Tuamata all accounts a great 5/8 i think Bengi will play both a half 5/8 role next year. Gallant wont be fullback, Asyford will revert to lock,a new center with lawerence maybe Brown, Pritchard, Davis or Lotie if signed. Also think Heightington is past his best so would not be in my run on side,and its time Dain Laurie put or shut up But i get your drift and its good to knock it around
 
At present it is all too hard to pick a team for next year, and that is a good thing. Finally, we will be going into a season with plenty of competition for spots. Gallant is awesome, but let him win his spot. Let's find out if Taumata is as good as they say. Plenty of hype around the likes of Akeripa and Gower, let them train hard and push Fulton and Heighno to reserves. Lui at half, or Moltzen???

I will yell in support of whichever tigers team takes the field in 2010.

Yeah I like that very much. Have some serious doubts over Lote & Burgess though. I'd start Burgess at lock ahead of Dwyer though, put the young fella on the bench.
 
well if we get burgess it would mean we would have had to do a player swap to get him out of his final yr, meaning we could loose payton or gibbs or both
 
with the signin of aruana tuamata and the blooding of robert lui, the growth of tim moltzen with the future of blake lazuaras, and the departure of blake ashford to the forwards, i wonder if the option to move benji out to the centres where he is one on one with defenders is looming, benji and lawerence would be deadly out wide if givin the right service.
 
How could Skandalis be part of the squad. great guy, all that, but boy we are in trouble if our post 2005 building still leaves a place for Skando.

Also, Bryce Gibss on the bench ??? I think he's been really good lately and definitely not a bench player as he really is a prop only.

Lote, only if he asks nicely. He has done nothing in Rah Rah for the past couple of seasons and obviously has p*ssed a few people off. I'd take him only if he demonstrated a clear commitment to the club and was prepared to play for what he is actually worth, not what his mager tells the media he is worth, because if he just wants to play a few more seasons to make sure he never has to work a day is his life it won't work out for either party and we may also end up "settling with him out of court".
 
dream team for me is

1\. Gallant or Mullaney
2\. Tuiaki
3\. Daniella
4\. Lawrence
5\. Lote, Tupou or Ryan
6\. Benji
7\. Moltzen or Lui with some work
8\. Burgess or a new signing (if no new signings then Gibbs i suppose :frowning: )
9\. Farah
10\. Galloway
11\. Ellis
12\. Heighington or Ayshford
13\. Flanagan or Fulton

14\. Fulton
15\. Gibbs
16\. Laurie
17\. working their way into the team is Payten, Skando, Dwyer, Fifitas boys and so on

main thing right now is that 8 jersey to partner galloway.. we have the attack in bundles but our pack just seems average and we are happy with that?

What ever happens we need a strong ball running centre to play on the right and we need strong ball running second rowers to partner Gareth Ellis.
