How good is our squad ?

[tiger05]

Looking at the team for this week and noting that we have some injuries and some good players not in the squad I reckon we have a squad that could get a real good roll on this season.

One option would be:

1\. Lote Tuqiri
2\. Taniela Tuiaki
3\. Chris Lawrence
4\. Blake Ayshford
5\. Beau Ryan
6\. Benji Marshall
7\. Tim Moltzen
8\. Bryce Gibbs
9\. Robbie Farah ©
10\. Keith Galloway
11\. Liam Fulton
12\. Gareth Ellis
13\. Chris Heighington

14\. Andrew Fifita
15\. Todd Payten
16\. Jason Schrinack
17\. Mark Flanagan

That team gives us two genuine props on the bench (Fifita and Payten). Fifita will make an impact / Payten is defensively real good and is skillful as well. Our backrowers can get a break when Schirnack and Flanagan come on plus both players look like they can make a bust. Flanagan can also be used as our utility player. Our go forward should be good throughout the game and If Robbie gets back to top form our pack should be a worry to most sides.

The halves are dangerous. Benji is one of the best players in the comp and Moltzen when he is running the ball is going to score some points.

Our outside backs and big, fast and skillful.

Players like Moors / Cayless / Lazarus / Taumata / Fitzy (who can play) & probably some more are good backup in case of injuries.

I think if we get a decent run with injuries & Sheens chooses a good team from our list of available players we should be a good chance to give the finals a shake.

Do you all agree or are there doubters out there ?

i like your team - wish that was the team running out this week.

Good side but really not that different to this weeks team bar the injiured players.

I am still confident Cayless will come good (perhaps not as confident as I once was). His issues seem to be fitness and tentativess. I reckon he will overcome these. Needs to put some beef back on but he is still a sizeable lad.

your right, there isn't much of a difference. I suppose what i was thinking is that there are a few holes this week and that team above seems to rectify them

I suppose my point is that our squad is a good one and with a couple of tweaks we will have a team that could be a force in the finals.

It wouldn't take much for that to happen imo.
