Just think on the first 4 rounds, are going to be really tough, you will probably need an all rounder to cover, so Mbye for me instead of Simpkin.
I think Garner deserves to start but I think Blore will eventually take his spot.
Maybe Packer over Utoikamanu?

There is a good chance Laurie will be here in 2021, especially given Cini is a Panthers junior.

I can’t see Mbye at 5/8. He will be the most expensive benchie in the league until we can get him off our books. Doueihi will be in the halves by all accounts.

No ;round 1 buddy . Doueihi is clearly our number 6 moving forward , he’s just suspended for round 1

We can’t claim a trial game?

No. That’s not allowed. He’s suspended for round one, for a non shoulder charge. Yes I am really peeved about that charge and suspension. It was a ridiculous call by the NRL.

1 Moses Mbye
2 David Nofoaluma
3 James Roberts
4 Joey Leilua
5 Paul Momirovski
6 Adam Doueihi
7 Luke Brooks
8 James Tamou
9 Jacob Liddle
10 Joe Ofahengaue
11 Luke Garner
12 Luciano Leilua
13 Alex Twal

14 Tommy Talau
15 Thomas Mikaele
16 Shawn Blore
17 Zane Musgrove

I’d be tempted to play Nofo at 1 so Talau gets a wing spot though. Ofahengaue is a prop why does everyone have him at 13?

Because he is better than Twal at that position. Twal is a prop that needs to be rotated. Offa if in form can play the position well.

Maybe to many coffees, - i know a lot of people don;t rate Garner, but i think he;s in for a big year.

Maybe not a big year but he is gonna have to step up

His position is very much in danger

Looking at shots of Leilua boys at training.It looks like someone has had a whisper in Joeys ear.Maybe time to whisper in Lucys ear,he;s starting to look like Burt Newton.

Don;t want a smelly Cheese,prefer something Simkins like.

Big Luc is fine at the size he is - he’s already lost more than 10 kilos since being at the dragons as well he used to be massive.

 

[tigger19]

What’s everyone thoughts on the starting centres next year?Are Roberts and Joey L locked in or could Madge go with either Momirovski,Talau or even Mbye?Also Where does Talau fit in if not selected,could he be trained in another position during off season?

Looks a good team but I would have Packer in before Utoik ( I will have to learn the spelling of some of the players names)😃

 

[Tigercrb]

1: Noffa (Mbye after 1st round)
2: TT (Noffa after 1st round)
3: BJ
4: Jet
5: AJ
6: Mbye (Douhi 1st round)
7: Brooks
8: Tamou
9: Liddle
10: Twal
11: Lucy
12: Blore
13: Joe O

14: utility, Madden/ Simpkin/ mck
15: Mikalele (has 8 weeks to show improvement)
16: Stefano
17: Musgrove

Ideally we get Laurie this year and Mbye becomes our #14

I must admit .. looking at the pics of pre season training .. Packer looks to have shed a few kilos .. and actually looks fit .. if that is the case and he's fit and injury free this season, that's a good sign for us .. !!

In regards to saying these new guys name, its best to break down their names down:

Ofahengaue: Ofa - hen - gaue
Utoikamanu: U - toi - kam - manu

Or simply Joe or Ofa .. Stefano or Utoi .. lol

they also both have 10 characters in their surnames .. ;-)
