Aloiai will be there.
What's wrong with two hookers?
Only one prop? You can bring in Grant for Lawrence. Problem solved.
Milne - Not yet
Hooth Who
And I have a bad feeling that McQueen will be the next Balin

Two Hookers wastes a perfectly good bench spot. Start Liddle (who is better than MM anyway) and can play 80 mins.
Your 1 to 10 I agree with but i'd have:
11\. Aloiai
12\. McQueen
13\. ET
14\. Marshall
15\. Twal
16\. Eisenhuth
17\. Sue/Grant
Benji can sub anywhere in the spine if need be and Twal, Eisenhuth and Sue/Grant will keep the middle in order when Packer/Matulino go for a spell.

We still don't know who the last 2 seats will go to, so i am sure this will change
I would like to see
1\. Lolohea
2\. Noffo
3\. Suli
4\. Masters/Miline
5\. Fonua/MWZ/Thompson
6\. Reynolds
7\. Brooks/Marshall
8\. Packer
9\. Liddle
10\. Matulino
11\. ET
12\. McQueen
13\. Hooth
14\. Aloiai
15\. Twal
16\. Grant
17\. Lawrence/Sue
18\. Marshall/Brooks
Surprisingly harder then i thought it would be.
It is nice to have some depth.
Brooks is going to need a good start to the year otherwise i can see Benji claiming the 7 quickly.

You don't know Matt Eisenhuth ?…pretty much cemented a spot in the back end of the season..

Aloiai to me should be one of the first picked forwards. He is the forward most likely to make a bust or barge over.

Did anybody see matt lodge play in the Q/land isp on the weekend .Hes huge and played great .Just our luck he will be playing for the Brisbane Rorters next year Also Tyson Gamble played in the same game looks like he can kick and tackle. That would be a nice change in our halves dont u think

Aloiai should be the first forward picked. Need to work out whether he is better in the middle or on the edge. If middle he adds more than Huth, if edge he is the equal of McQueen

im a fan of aloiai on the bench. he can play edge or in the middle and give us great service.
with mcqueen and lawrence to start, we can be sure of our defense. ET, packer and Eiso can tighten up the middle.

Yeah I like the look of this team too. I'm thinking that maybe ET could move to hooker if needed and we could bring Aloiai in off the bench to replace him - just a thought, rather than carrying another hooker on the bench.
I'd even like to try and fit Benji in somewhere, but I honestly can't see where at the moment, unless Brooks fails or Reynolds goes down in a heap! When the team is all written out in front of us, we can certainly see a lot more quality depth than in previous years that's for sure, especially in the forwards.
I reckon Marsters definitely has to be in the 17 somewhere, too. He will come on in leaps and bounds next season. I guess the pre-season will reveal to us more about who's in and who isn't.

For years I have wanted this club to reach a standard where it's no disgrace to be playing for our State Cup side. Looking at the difficulties everyone (including me) is having naming an NRL side for 2018, I think we are now closer to that situation than ever; our State Cup side will be very hard to beat given the players who are going to miss out on Firsts. Of course the opposite side to that coin is that the First Grade players will really need to perform to keep their spots.
Makes me a very happy old TigerPie.

Terrible of me. I didnt recognise the abbreviation.
Whichever way I cut it, and despite how much I like the guy, I can't see a spot for Lawrence in my top 17… I have Aloiai, ET, McQueen (pending fitness) all in front of him and no room on the bench once there are two prop replacements, a Marsters/Marshall cover benchie and then I'd go for a versatile forward - probably Sue - who can play various positions in the pack.
But something tells me he'll be there... I just hope he doesn't get asked to play as many minutes because like many, his quality drops away sharply and the diamonds turn into rocks...
Will be interesting for sure!
