TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT: Foundation Cup

[BenjiMagic96]

Very strong line up cant wait to smash the roosters.

Hopefully lol

BM96 what amazing logic are you going to come up with to support the fact that Lawrence is switching sides?

 

[snowleopard]

The problem I have with Utai is the nightmares I still suffer from after the last roosters game in 2012 and how they so easily targeted him with the high ball and got a result every time. I know he has strengths but having watched Nofu for 2 years now I reckon he has similar return kick strengths, is a better defensive player, quicker to turn & chase and is far far better under the high ball.

The fact that he was named at right centre :brick:

 

[X-Pac]

not much has changed since sheens left really
Moltzen is still at fullback and blair is still in the side

How was he named at right centre? they have jumpers allocated to left and right?

Some surprises there. Can't see Buchanan starting in round 1, but Thompson might be on the verge of a starting spot if he aims up!

Are you bloody kidding or trying to annoy me because it just isn't working I could go on all day

 

[GNR4LIFE]

God help us. For that reason im stopping right now

You made the right decision.

With Lawrence, it may just be the number on his back and he'll play his usual left centre spot but will be interesting if Potter does switch him. Ayshford would be limiting Korobietes opportunities though, unless he is more confident passing right to left. Will have to wait and see I suppose.

 

[tig_prmz]

all year or all his career lawrence has wore the no.4 jersey.. last week he wore the no.3 jumper.
he is wearing the no.4 again this week. who knows what's going on?

 

[steve-o]

as far as I'm aware, the numbers that the centres/wingers wear have nothing to do with what side they play on, so I would assume lawrence is staying on the left

 

[The_Phantom]

Good to get early announcement of team. Rather than wait to almost 6 o,clock under Sheens.

 

[alexaki]

not much has changed since sheens left really
Moltzen is still at fullback and blair is still in the side

Stirring(trying) the pot I see….if you honestly feel not much has changed, where have you been all off season?!?

 

[sober_siddhi]

I wouldn't mind seeing a speedier right edge combo trialled in Moltzen / Tuqiri. Think this would work with Teddy at the back and Utai (or Ayshford) as a sub.

The heat has clearly gotten to me.

i moved to the country and only useing a generator so i havent been online a whole lot
and ive never rated moltzen as a fullback and cant see why anyone else would
and ive never like blair, i said last year he was gonna be a dud signing

The numbering system goes back a long way and is representive of the old Inside and Outside Centre Positions. It would go 1 / 2 / 3, 4, 5 (in a straight line) to form the backline.

As a result of the switch to Left and Right Centres [early 80's I think], the #4 switched to the side the 2 was on. Traditionaly in todays game, the current numbering/naming of a squad looks like this:

1\. Fullback
2\. Left Wing
3\. Right Centre
4\. Left Centre
5\. Right Wing

So with the naming of this team, I would assume Rowdy is the Left Centre.

Thanks for making me feel old! :frowning:
