I think as far as props go we could also try to sign the 2013 holden cup prop of the year(who ever that maybe).So far buchanan has seamt to be a pretty handy pick up as hes gone alright so far and with time he will only improve.So to compliment another rookie prop then sign an old hard headed prop who will be a great leader for those two young props(buchanan and new guy).That old guy I would love in the steve price mould.I dont get the whole desire for wingers we have them.Koro obviously is a star on the rise.The other wing will be sufficiently filled by Nofo,Mr t or Maybe even Chris Lawrence.Wingers are not hard to find.We need a big Damaging backrower with an excellent workrate in the gareth ellis mould.Would love to see a strong centre with a good injection of pace also.Not only do we need to get bigger and stronger but we also need a big injection of pace.
 
Prichard and Ryan James, adds mongrel and size to our pack to compete with the large sides.
Souths bulldogs etc.

I am a huge fan of dale finucanne.

Young talent with a bright future, we couldn't go wrong

Jamie Buhrer, Ryan James and Aiden Tolman but Buhrer and James are not off contract. I think you have got the list of off contracts for 2013 & 2014.
 
I would love to see Ryan James, Mitchell Allgood, gillett and Gardner there all young with big futures ahead of them but knowing the tigers will buy a fringe 1st grader or a over 30 injury prone player. We can only dream.

Junior Sau has grown an extra leg since he went to Melbourne

If Potter can get the same performances out of him that Bellamy has ,lets do it

Tolman ,Scott Anderson for props

Bukuya or Matt Prior for an extra second rower
 
Korbin Sims is one I'm looking out for. 190cm and 112kg + a year under Bennett.
Young player which we have a few of but can play anywhere in the forwards.
Gillette would be great to have other than origin.
We can only hope/dream…

Scott Anderson, Ryan James, Nigel Plum - they'd do me up front. Good go forward and someone who actually hurts the opposition in tackles.

Mate, everyone grows an extra leg in melbourne….....and then they grow fat, stupid and lazy when they leave. :slight_smile:

I agree Sau is playing good, and I rate Tolman, Matt Prior is a solid workhorse.

Iam not sure if they grow a extra leg, or in fact they are playing in a team that has the best spine ever assembled and are being coached by the best
 
How do people even consider Mateo and Everingham! Feleti has no head on his shoulders and just looks like he's playing backyard touch. Everingham is a finisher and that's it. Awful with the ball in hand and too weak to make a difference in d or attack.

Ryan James and Nigel Plum both would provide massive go forward. They hit it up hard and are solid defenders. Pritchard is nearing the end of his career, but has great ball skills for his size. Could imagine Teddy running off his shoulder!

Supercoach I don't think I have seen Sau run the ball with as much vigour as he did against the Broncos He was almost unstoppable at times

Nothing to do with the spine ,just his attitude I reckon

And on that Potter has to target Chambers and Duffie on Monday night

That is Melbourne's weak spot defensively

Hes running with the same vigor its just hes now in a team that wins the go forward(cheating wrestle tactics) and therefore hes running with more room and into a defence on the backfoot.
 
This thread has gone off subject, but I would like to see the following players targeted for 2014;

Ben Ross - 1 year
Feteli Mateo - 2 year
Drury Low - 3 year
Shannon Boyd - 3 year

Hopefully our young Siro will develop into a great lock, and Brooks may come through to partner Benji.
 
Micheal Gillett & Aiden Toleman would be my priorities, followed by Mitchell Dodds, Frank Paul Nuasala and Kenny Bromwich…

8\. Woods
9\. Farah
10\. Toleman
11\. Bromwich
12\. Gillett
13\. Nuasala
 
Kenny Bromwich is pretty good…
Still a somewhat smaller backrow though.
Frank Paul has sucked ever since they made him lose the weight.

8\. Woods
9\. Farah
10\. Pritchard
11\. Blair
12\. Bukuya
13\. Eastwood

14\. Fulton
15\. Galloway
16\. Pettybourne
17\. Buchanan

That'd be nice.
We still haven't seen James Gavet have a run yet, he may be amazing.
