**FULLBACK**
Tedesco to start, hopefully no injuries but you never know with this guy.

**DEPTH:**
Moltzen
Rowe
Hoeter

**BACKS**
Not sure who will start but you'd think Simona, Richards, Nofa & perhaps… Lawrence.

**DEPTH:**
Fine
Naiqama
Lulia - if he recovers?
Peni
Sila
Rowe
Maybe even Moltzen, again showing his versatility.

**HALVES**
MOSES & BROOKS

**DEPTH**
Drinkwater
Moltzen
Possibly Te Marie Martin?

**HOOKER**
Robbie Farah (C) - Nothing further to say is there...

**DEPTH**
Cherrington - hopefully is first choice if anyting happens to Robbie.
Luani - still on the books
Halatau?
Moltzen - maybe if we're desperate??

**FRF:**
Galloway, Woods, Taupau, Ava..... They'll all be there if no injuries.

**DEPTH:**
Lodge will be there somewhere, maybe off the bench?
Nathan Brown
Jack Buchanan - both still on the books
Fiagatusa
Young gun - Dallas Graham

**2RF**
Not much to chose from....
sirronen, Lawrence? Akouala, Sue - starters, possibly??

**DEPTH**
Kyle Lovett - Hasn't tasted first grade yet
Halatau
Young gun - Funaki
Santi

**LOCK**
Sue, Santi? Not sure who starts. I'd be hoping for a big pre season and Santi to start.

**DEPTH**
Fiagatusa?
Halatau?
Shuffle the pack & Taupau?
 
Well done Demps,geez if that's our top squad then hopefully JT has a strong game plan that these guys can follow….and stick to...
Realistically most of the NRL players can do a great job if they stay fit..it's the depth in some positions that can be worrying...
I honestly hope they all perform much better next year under JTs guidance,otherwise it will be a lean one....
 
Actually I think its a really good squad with backrow being the area we are weak on experience.

In saying that

Sue
Sironen
Akoula
Halatau
Santi

With Lawrence moving to the backrow and some good up and comers we have good depth if a couple of the young blokes step up and we have great depth in the fron row so perhaps Taupau

These are all players with wests tigers contracts.

This is what we have to work with next year.

Our nsw cup side is nothing to laugh at.
 
The week to week grind of the NRL and the mental toughness required is where the youngsters will be challenged.God help us if 10 players are out injured like the 2014 season. We need some more toughnuts in the forwards to lead the way. Pity that the bash brothers have been weakened,
 
Would add Liolevave there as 2r depth…. And isn't Heleta in the top 25 this season?

is marion seve still at west tigers he got injured early this year he looked good what we seen of him dallas graham he also look ok
 
You never really know what's going to happen, our back rowers might step up to the challenge. NRL is a weird game, one day you can have the best player in the world and the next he could be a flop. For all we know JT might flop next season and Lawrence might return to best form.

No milky the cream rises to the top. Class prevails and players at the top echelon don't just flop.

Well said Milky you are right. None of us know what 2015 will be like for any team. We are all just guessing and hopping

And in the WT's case some well placed prayers may well be required 😛ray:
 
We could be looking at this all wrong,a lot of us said the team was hopeless,didn't play for Potter,had bad attitudes and got caught up in a media frenzy etc,etc…..

With JT at the helm and having a substantial clean out,as well as good admin recruiting,this team could surprise us immensely...
Let's not forget how well they played prior to the mid year review and the horrific injuries run....
I was one that reckoned the team was second rate at the end of the season,but when you look at it we had a lot of second tier players trying to play under those conditions and few had much NRL experience ......
I'm prepared to let JT do his job and present us with a very good NRL side that with little injury will be competitive ....as I said earlier realistically the squad we have can improve,especially if the top players re Teddy,Simona,Noffa,Woods Farrah etc all put in and have an honest go all year..I also said JT doesn't want to end up like Potter,he has learnt heaps over the years and he will make the tough calls,albeit,he has more input to everything,whereas Potter had very little input because his hands were tied......

We'll be in trouble if we have to call up some of the under 20's to help out…
However I'm sure they'll get their chance when the time comes.
 
Funny a difference in a few months.

I was thinking we had no place for halatau.

Now I think he is more important than we know. Our only experienced backrower.
