Our 1 to 5...

[bigsiro]

looks like a 9th or 10th finish.

Only if we play extremely well and get very lucky.

i mean, my expectations on this team every year is very low. But fingers crossed we get it going this year. Hope they do it for Benj. Time certainly flies. I still remember meeting him at bourban bar back in 03 and i was the only one who knew who he was. He even tried to pick up a girl i was with. I even egged him on as well haha

 

[bigsiro]

I don’t care about the 1-5 as much as I care about the 1, 6, 7 and 9. We’re looking like a bottom 4 side if we don’t make a signing from left field.

Brooks is going to have it all on his shoulders. Speak of the devil, it’s been literally months since i’ve seen his name written anywhere.

Dont' worry. I'm loading up. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

1.Mbye 100% fit he’s one of the better ball playing fullbacks 8n the game...smart kid, ill back for a Star year
2.JAC if we don’t sign him we are in trouble
3.Talau/jennnings probs our weakest position...think Jennings will start and Talau might pop in....a combo of Talau JAC would be very nice in the future
4.momo somehow always finds the line
5. nofo attacking weapon nuff said
6.benji
7.brooks
8.Aloiai
9.walters or grub (whoever can play 80 and offer good ball, on the plus side both come with a kicking game)
10.Mikaele
11.garner
12.leilia
13.Twal (Big minties solid defence lacks the imapact for prop imo, would alllow thommo to come on for 20 with Twal 0laying 60

14.thommo
15.MCk (our second rowers can’t get through 80)
16. Packer or clakre (big body prop)
17. Musgrove or stefano (impact prop)

I for one love thommo but I believe he isn’t starting 13 standard...I’d love to see him come on for 20 mins in the middle using his handy step an acceraltion....also has the ability to tackle his guts out. This would allow us to have two big men on the bench and a second rower

I like this

I also like Mbye at FB based on his first few games with us, but it seems Madge won't be considering him at FB anymore. Madge does not seem to rate him as a 1.

You want to play Corey at lock for 20 mins each game?

Well he would provide backline utility,but if not needed yes, 10 to 20 mins in the middle looking for offloads jinking around....he wouldn’t be taking hit ups or anything, but feel he could be an attacking revelation there...his defence is also very solid

MCK is the bench utility who covers the backs.

Your bench is beyond ineffective to me.
Sheens style, carrying Fitzy and Beau Ryan on the bench for the last 5 mins of game time.

We all know our best rotation was when Potter ran,

14. Sue

Id like us to get back to something like this.

I like this idea but I think we will need a reserve hooker on the bench. We don't have a recognized first grade hooker in the team. I figure we will have to run with one on the bench for a while at least.

Yeah thats an issue.
No 80 min #9

Maybe Taylor will have to slot on the bench and play hooker throughout the game.

We got problems.

 

[earl]

We got problems.

Unfortunately this is correct. There are some positives but our 1 to 5 and spine are an issue. Our pack is developing nicely but it's not a pack that will roll over every team in the comp. There are a lot of younger guys in the pack that we need to step up over the next couple of seasons.

Thing is we don’t need 3 big men on the bench with twal...like the broncos don’t need a 4 prop rotation due to haas playing big minutes...Thompson would give us an attacking edge off the bench around the ruck, I have MCK in the bench due to our current second row stocks sucking in the 80min department( also doesn’t have to be MCK could be whoever Lawrence etc) I can’t leave thommo out of the 17...also he would be a bench 5 min player like beau....he’d play a key part to our forward rotation offering backline utility if needed...I agree with jimmys team as long as Mbye can find form and JAC comes if not we stuffed

May as well forget about Stefano, Parra will not let him go.

May as well forget about Stefano, Parra will not let him go.

Based on what? The Pom said it was almost done and Pascoe said we have two spots left (which means Stefano already has one)

Eels get an 18th man for Origin released.
Souths get a superstar released from their fiercest rival.

If our blokes can't get a 19yo released from a development contract then we need entirely new people doing these negotiations.

We were supposed to be in an advantageous position from releasing Matterson as well. Remember how that went? We wound up with $1.5m with no one of worth to offer it to (granted that Matterson only represented $375K of that, but still, it was obvious we were trying to loosen up funds for a target.)
