2020 Forward Pack

[WeHaveCheeKam]

It is really hard to predict. Assuming we have no more forward signings, for me I am thinking we end up like this:

8 Russell Packer
9 Walters/Reynolds
10 Tommy Mikaele
11 Luciano Leilua
12 Luke Garner
13 Matt Eisenhuth

14 Musgrove
15. Aloiai
16. Twal
17. Chee Kam

Out:
McQueen, Lawrence, Taylor, Clark

With Musgrove, Mikaele, Lucy and Aloiai, we may bend the line a little next year (but still less than most other sides).

 

[Demps]

It's shaping up nicely IMO.
For me, it depends on how Packer pulls up and how he performs.
He could defo making the starting side if his attitude and fitness is at a good level, otherwise.....

8 Clarke (Possibly Packer)
9 Some 5/8
10 Alex Twal
11 Luciano
12 Garner
13 Taylor

14 Aloiai
15 MCK
16 Musgrove
17 Mikaele

Che Kam is cover for the backs and an impact 2RF - saw how his clutch plays won us games in 2018.

I think that bench offers us the most impact.

I’m still hoping that parramatta will release the young forward we signed before the season starts once they’ve found a replacement or monetary compensation

Happy with the “outs” them 4 are useless

8 Packer
9 Reynolds / Walters / Simkins / Liddle ????
10 Mikaele
11 Luciano
12 Garner
13 Taylor

14 Aloiai
15 Lawrence
16 Musgrove
17 Twal

 

[gallagher]

The pack , bar hooker, just needs either a leader or some crazy bastard. Someone like N Brown .

2/4


Clark isn't that bad


And Lawrence still has a bit left In him

Yep. Missing ingredient. Don't think we'll be using the last 2 spots before R1 for another forward... I could be wrong though!

Yup, backline signings has to be priority now.

Twal is the man imo....Leeds by example...hard work rage doesn’t give up....not the biggest but you wouldn’t know itmc9mkng up against him

 

[Madge]

8. Packer
9. Walters
10. Mikaele
11. Garner
12. LL
13. Twal

14. Aloiai
15. Seyfarth
16. Musgrove
17. MCK

 

[ElleryHanley]

Out extra depth at prop now will hopefully allow Twal or Aloai to switch to 13 permanently.

Josh
LL
Garner
Twal
No idea at 9
Musgrove

I'm sure he'll end up a leader.

8. Packer -- if he comes good. Otherwise he is replaceable.
9. Mbye/Walters
10. Twal
11. Luciana
12. Garner
13. Eisenhuth

14. Mikaele
15. Aloiai
16. Musgrove
17. Chee-Kam

We have a lot more impact forwards. That bench is really good but the starting middle forwards still look a little plodder like.

 

[Nelson]

8 Twal
9 Reynolds
10 Musgrove
11 Garner
12 Leilua
13 Aloiai

14 Mikaele
15 Taylor
16 Walters
17 Packer/Clark

 

[Guest]

I think Clark will see a bit of FG - he's the quiet achiever. Very young still, good motor and not afraid of hard work - the type of player we need to help tighten up the middle.

Why do you like Eisenhuth Earl? With our new signings and packer coming good I don’t reckon he gets near our top 17? I find him really ineffective. Interested in your thoughts

 

[momo_amp_medo]

Yes I tend to agree ..... another possible riser from “Plodder” as was called by many on here since his move from Panthers.

For me:

Packer
Walters
Clark
Aloiai
Garner
Twal

Mikaele
Musgrove
LL
Chee-Kam
Lawrence
Eisenhuth

Can’t see us getting 80 minutes from Walters out of the blocks, he’ll need bench cover (or will himself be the bench cover).
I think we should aim to have at least one of Mikaele or Aloiai on at all times across the 80 - they’re likely to be our hardest runners. For this season I think Mikaele on the bench to hopefully bully opposition benches. He can learn to dominate and hopefully can take some confidence from that and graduate to starting in 2021.

I just figure he consistently gets metres and defends plus he plays decent minutes. I think he is more suited to lock than most of the other guys.
