Team for 2020

[Tcat]

These posts just feel like ground hog day, over and over again. Our squad won't change much and I expect a similar year next year. We can talk about offloading the same 5 or 6 players every 2nd day but no one is taking them and we can only hope Madge recruits well when these contracts are done.

That’s if Madge hangs around long enough?

 

[Trevros]

No matter the squad they'll keep up with tradition and come 9th yet again.

 

[TheDaBoss]

I am ready for another year of stress

 

[hsvjones]

Bright side of losing today so we might actually hear news on players leaving or who we might be looking at.

Am I missing something ?
Is Jennings really that bad ?

Yes. He has not broken a single tackle since he has been here. He is lazy in defence and had no urgency to clean up a loose ball. One of the worse buys we have made. How he is in first grade says more about our depth than anything.

he's been awful all season tbh- slow, sluggish, disinterested and weak. Didn't fight in tackles.

However, he was very good with his kick metres today. Really bent the line in the first half.

I haven't seen the show he was on but reading through the league unlimited wt forum.. Reynolds was on an NRL.com show this week and they asked if staying and playing nine was an option next year.. he said no and that he'd rather leave and play 5/8 elsewhere as that's what he sees himself as.

@matchball

After the heartbreak and let down of today, I need something to look forward to ASAP

you need something to look forward to so you post a team which is exactly the same as the one that failed this season? what's the point? how can you get excited by the same crap? you must have loved every minute of this season!

 

[balmain boy]

yes, you're obviously missing a lot. have you watched us this season?

 

[balmain boy]

Does everyone realise Clark only made 4 hit-ups today? Absolutely pathetic for a starting prop. Why is he in anyone's 17? He's had worse stats than Packer yet few seem to be complaining about him. His very poor mistake cost us dearly today, one of our few chances to attack and he crapped his pants

 

[steve-o]

Jennings was a disappointment this year. He was a shadow of the player he was at the Rabbitohs

 

[JD Tiger]

@willow I dont know if Benji could maintain the defence aspect at hooker.
I like Talau, Bradley, we need something alright, may as well give them a go, hopefully its them.

Really need some players from outside, but, dont know if thats a possibility..

 

[JD Tiger]

@TYGA I'm certainly sick of the same old rubbish year after year. I say do it, I'll happily cop another year of rubbish to fix things. Better than another year of rubbish still not going anywhere.

 

[steve-o]

As GNR said, it’s too early to start throwing out team lists until we know more about who’s coming and going. Regardless, couple of thoughts...
I) I love Corey Thompson, but we need a better fullback. Thompson to wing, Jennings to reserve grade.
II) Assuming we can’t offload Reynolds or Mbye because of their large contracts, I’d go with Mbye as starting hooker and Reynolds on the bench to give him a breather. I’d prefer this to spending money (and a roster spot) on another hooker. Once Liddle is back, Mbye can fill holes in the backline

 

[Trevros]

No doubt in the media they'll once again be one of the favourites for the spoon but not disappoint us by coming 9th yet again.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

I saw the team posted on page 1. That I is the worst backline I have ever seen excluding Brooks, Marshall and Marsters. Simply the backs are small and slow. We need a new fullback, two new wingers and one centre.

 

[CarltonDry]

@mike and yet Maguire gets a free kick with this signing

 

[Demps]

Can only hope it's the same roster as this year minus those sad lazy depressing gronks.

Packer #1 drain/sap of our cap. What an absolute pathetic no heart having dog.

Matulino, McQueen, Esan, Reynolds...
I assume Rochow is gone and not sure what's happening with Chris but let's be honest... we don't want or need him.

I'd be keeping Elijah though.

Targets include: a centre, a winger, a hooker and some forwards.

Mawene Hiroti winger from rabbits
Kayne Kalache prop from dogs
Billy Walters utility from storm

Guys we can try and get one year early as they're contracted for 2020

Zac Lomax - fullback/ centre
Maika Sivo or Mikaela Ravalava- gun Fijian wingers. Would be great to get one of these guys.
Renof Toomaga- dogs forward
Ryan James- would be perfect for our pack, something we really need. A fwd leader.
Remis Smith - super star back who would solidify our back line as the best.

1 Lomax
2 Smith
3 Mbye
4 Momorovski
5 Hiroti.. or one if the Fiji boys
6 Benji
7 Brooks
8 Twal
9 Walters / Liddle
10 Ryan James (C)
11 Garner
12 Aloiai
13 Matterson

14 Walters / Liddle
15 Mikaele
16 Toomaga
17 Clarke / Kalache

18 MCK
