[Betterdays22]

10) Si Fainu
11) Sa Fainu
12) KPP
13) Doueihi

14) Seyfarth
15) Pole
16) Twal
17) Murray (ehhhh)

The two places we need upgrades is hooker coverage and an aggressive prop. Possibly some centre coverage for To'a. Would like to see them develop Skelton a bit to play multiple positions.

 

[Oldman]

no fonua for you?

I can’t have Fonua on the bench which already has Sione and Twal.
During the 2nd half of this year I have been more impressed with Sione than Pole.

Pole looked like he played within himself maybe not fully over the injury

Sione played like the MOM NSW player from his juniors wait till after another offseason

With Skelton I was wondering if he could become like Talakai from the Sharks

 

[Odessa]

He was playing Ron massy cup finals recently but yes he has no contract for 2026 same with Brandon tumeth, both are leaving which is great news for us, we have abit of dead wood that needs to be cleared.

Are they the two that helped Moses get Galvin out for senior players saying mean things like

Don't kick on second tackle when your down by 30 against Melbourne inside there 20

It's not all about You

Get a proper haircut

Please tackle

No hospital passes today take the hit

Doueihi is awesome but can he really play two positions at the same time?

Whoooops. Fixed up...

Sione needs to work on his defence. Simply not good enough in some games towards the end of the season.

I think Sione did a goodish job being thrown in there, but he simply isn't a long term option at backrow because of his defence.

I like this one, wonder how AD would go at 13 with a pre season there under his belt

i of the greatest juniors Tim Sheens ever seen.

 

[Buttface]

Number 3 in first? You are kidding.

You reckon we need a 3 before a 10 and 13? What are you saying Col?

 

[SeanT]

T'oa is depth. He's had enough chances for mine. We need more at centre.

I always laugh at this thread, people picking players who’ve never played NRL in their run on side for the next season?
Each to their own though, I’ll be interested to see the bolters this year.

There's a few under 12s players coming through the ranks too who we should make way for in the KOE team

 

[Le Tiger]

1. Bula
2. Makasini
3. Taylan
4. To’a
5. Turuva
6. Luai

11. Sam F
12. KPP
13. AD
14. Madden
15. Sione
16. Hunt
17. Pole
18. Skelton

This would be my pick too. But hopefully we pick up a decent starting prop, Twal to bench and then Hunt/Pole to drop off.
