Realistic team list round 1 2018

[weststigerman]

What happened to all those people suggesting Nofo would be playing reserve grade in 2018?

Almost every team I've seen has him on the wing.

He's buckley's and none of starting in reserve grade.

Noff is our most naturally talented attacking winger. Anyone who thinks he's starting in reserve grade next year needs their head examined.

Actually it wasn't that many people, found the thread.

It might just be laziness in terms of the club providing a realistic update, but there is an article on NRL.com around pre-season injuries (https://www.nrl.com/news/2017/12/12/2018-nrl-pre-season-casualty-ward/). For the tigers it lists both Suli & Liddle's recovery time as indefinite, which is concerning.

i hope Marshall is in the starting 17 somewhere

Only 13 start tho… 😕

Actually Geo when you think about it , it might be a good way of evening up the salary cap

The Roosters have 13 players start come Rd 1 and we have 19 players on the field

Bet that would get young Mr Politis' attention :smiley:

Taylor to 12
Eiso to 13
Grant to 17
Lawrence to reserves
Masters to 3
MWZ to 5

Although everyone is entitiled to their own opinion :smiley:
Will be very interesting to see official rd 1 list for 2018

Packer is a certain starter. I think for now Twal will be playing off the bench. I wonder if he has a future at lock.

 

[Tacky]

If Suli isn't fit for round 1, a Milne/Marsters combo is the next best option. It's not a bad combination either.

Take out Grant and put in McIlwrick and that will be very close.

my team 1 lolohea 2nofoaluma 3,suli, 4 marsters,5,fonua, 6,reynolds,7,brooks,8,matulino,9,liddle if not fit mciilwrick.10,packer,11mcqueen,12sue,13,taylor, bench, benji,twal,eisenhuth and aloiai.

I would be very surprised to see Sue starting. I think there is a chance he won't even be in the 17.

 

[clontarfkid]

Cant leave Milne out of the starting 13 based on his RLWC performances…hes our most proven(vs" having potential") centre against quality opposition at this stage.

[clontarfkid]

The LAST thing we need on the bench is ANOTHER hooker…..weve disadvantaged ourselves so often against the bigger teams with this strategy to our detriment and got rolled in last 20 minutest.That aint gonna change the game...just give someone a rest.
But we can carry Benji at no 14 ..he can still change a game as we saw in 2017...and moreso with our average no 6 and 7s who may not be able to change the game
