Daniel Peck is a NSW junior rep, but from what I have seen he struggles in defence and is run over regularly in U20s. Don't think he has a long term future, carries much the same reputation as Manaia Cherrington a few years back

12\. ET
13\. JAMES GRAHAM

14\. Liddle
15\. Lawrence
16\. Sue
17\. Jj felise

Graham can play lock in the middle, try and play longer minutes.

ET played edge 2nd rower at warriors and early panthers stint.

Means we have 3 big boppers and two great defensive 2nd rowers.

We're going to have a decent ISC side next year by the way IC is recruiting, there's some capable first graders that will be missing out.
 
I think Lawrence is a better option than guerra. He has been caught out horribly as an edge defender which is why Robinson has moved him to the middle. Also don't think McQueen is much better.
Sometimes the new toy doesn't look as good as the advertisements suggest. Remember Adam Blair?
 
1\. Lolohea
2\. Nofoaluma
3\. Zelezniak
4\. Suli
5\. Fonua
6\. Reynolds
7\. Brooks

8\. Packer
9\. Mcillwick
10\. Matulino
11\. Mcqueen
12\. Lawrence
13\. Taylor

14\. Grant/Sue – I think Grant is probably a better option than Sue at the moment.
15\. Felise -- or pick another young prop.
16\. Aloiai -- interchange with Taylor. This kid gives us impact.
17\. Liddle

I think that is a team that we will run with or something close to that. I think that pack is better than what we have now. We need some strike power though desperately. We need some players like JAC or Koro out wide.
