I like the look of Watto sections , but I think it will be a mix of players used first 3 rounds when starting team is picked , Woods and Grant to start for me , Mitch to kick, Rankin not in the 17

Taylor (JT) reckons Ballin will be good to go and play off the bench for round 1\. I'll amend my side to reflect Geo's with Ballin on the bench for JLJ.

lets hope so, great news if it happens!

Don't Know about the Esan Marster/Bayley Sironen pick
 
Would love to see a big tall fast winger who was very solid in the air, sadly I do think we have one on our books. Maybe Suli will fit the bill but one thing for certain Souths and every other team will bomb the crap out of our wingers with Nofo being the no1 target

In accordance to the new NRL rules.
A similar side to Watto's, Geo, Willow and MartyMcfly's.
I think the main difference between everyone's thinking is wether you go for a defence or attacking centre. With Ballin looking like he'll be right our bench is starting to look stronger.

It's Michael Chee-Kam, his parents can spell unlike Micheal Luck's parents…

Moses Suli isn't small at 189cm actually he is the biggest winger we have,
Rankin 183cm, Nofo 180cm, Kev 179cm.

MOSES SULI PLAYER PROFILE
Date of Birth — 9th June, 1998
Height — 189cm
Weight — 106kg
Position — Centre, Wing
 
Back row isn't great, which is why i think Sue might end up there to provide some muscle (fingers crossed). Really looking forward to watching Aloiai. He looked great in the 9's and on the weekend.
 
Backrow was one of our biggest concerns heading into 2017\. By developing Sue as an edge forward over the preseason and trial matches it's looking a lot bigger and stronger. Sue has played there before and has shown some good footwork.
ET played his best footy as a ball playing lock. And this year it's looking like that's were he'll play. Lawrence always gives 100% but will have to be managed. Aloiai looks fitter after a full season in NRL last year and will offer good impact off the bench.
If injuries hit our backrow early in the season. You'd imagine Edwards would come onto the bench. If fatigue sets in mid to late season maybe Marsters or one of the other young guys in ISC will be screaming out to be picked.
I'm more confident in our backrow this year. It's not the strongest but is developing along.
 
I like the look of Nelson's selections - just not sure how Idris will do at this point in his comeback. Unfortunately, thanks to JT, I think Rankin will be in the 17 - although I'd be prepared to try anybody else before him (any takers??).

I'm concerned Sue wont have the lungs for the backrow, plus he has shown from time to time to lack concentration in defense.

I like Geo's picks, however I'd move MCK into the centres, punt Kevvy, and bring JJ onto the bench.
 
would like to throw a Smokey into the team, I think he may be better than jj felise. his name is TATOLA I think he may be one out of the box, takes the ball up hard and is a good if not a great defender yet, has a good motor. think if he gets a chance he may well take it with both hands. what do u all think?
