2015 Side

[Newtown]

Lawrence's only future for 2015 is second row starting from the bench. Austin is currently being tempted by Canberra to join them in 2015\. In order to keep him for 2015 we must start pre-season training play him at 5/8 with Brooks at half. At this stage of his career Moses would be well up to a wing spot in first grade.

hey im just wondering what everyone thinks the best team for us in 2015 would be.
(with current squad and some signings that seem reasonable)
my top side would look alittle something like this feel free to show me yours or to comment on mine.
1- teddy
2- nofo
3- simona
4-kev naiqama(if rumors about signing him are true)
5- richards
6- austin (moses not ready for 1st choice in my opinion)
7-brooks
8-woods
9-farrah
10-lodge/keffie
11-blair
12-brad takairangi(if rumors are true, hopefully could be a sort of glen stewart 2012type)
13-thompson(if he resigns)/Anthony Cherrington (i think he is truely a good player that hasnt been given a shot at a stable first grade spot)
14-martie taupau
15-lodge/keffie
16-james gavet(playing a impact second row role)
17-siro/thompson/cheeington

coach- griffin

 

[magpiecol]

From what I have seen of him, Fine is slower than Richards. And he is not a goal kicker.

 

[alexaki]

My top team would be:

1\. Tedesco
2\. Simona
3\. Naqama/Tangarangi
4\. Nofoaluma
5\. Richards
6\. Moses
7\. Brooks
8\. Woods
9\. Farah
10\. Lodge
11\. Santi (Need a Fults type player and he is it)
12\. Sironen
13\. Blair
14\. Taupau
15\. Galloway
16\. Sue
17\. Gavet

 

[Tigerdon]

1\. Tedesco
2\. Moses

By the look of some of these teams thank god we have a coach a 5/8 on the wing. I for one will wait till i see who stays and who goes but i must say a wide range of views.

I'll wait another couple weeks to see if we sign Naiqama or Takairangi. I wouldn't have Lawrence in the centres, if i was JT i'd have him in the gym bulking up to play in the back row. He needs to reinvent himself if he's going to stay in the top grade, i think he could do it to. Too much of a liability in the centres these days.

 

[Masterton]

1\. Tedesco
2\. Moses

You should contact a bookie, because I'm sure they'll give you 50-1 on Moses starting on the wing.

[Milky]

With the rumours currently…

1\. James Tedesco
2\. Pat Richards
3\. Tim Simona
4\. David Nofoaluma
5\. Lachlan Maranta

6\. Mitchell Moses
7\. Luke Brooks

8\. Aaron Woods
9\. Robbie Farah
10\. Frank Paul Nuasala
11\. Bodene Thomson
12\. Martin Tapau
13\. Curtis Sironen

14\. Adam Blair
15\. Matt Lodge
16\. Jesse Sue
17\. Sitakeli Akoula

A little different, think Taupau can become a Speedy/Strong backrower, Blair back at prop.

Swap Lodge and Galloway at least for the first half of the season and also swap Pat and Nofa and that looks pretty good Walter.

Reasons.

As much as people are winging about Gal at the moment, our win record with him on the field is still good. Lodge does need to start on the bench to build confidence until he becomes accustomed to week in week out first grade footy. Like others he can wait for a starting spot through injury and see if he has the hunger to grab his chance.

The combination of Nofa / Simona excites me, especially if the can get some quality ball… You could also argue having Patty and Fine on the same side would balance experience but mostly I really like the idea of the Nofa / Simona combination.

 

[tig_prmz]

just realised that halatau is still signed with us for next year… i know many here think he's past it but he quite impressed me in his limited times last year.
