I think Tapau might be a way off firsts yet, and Corey paterson would likely be ahead of him

Moses I doubt will be anywhere near first grade

Dunno where Moltzen fits in anywhere

Not a bad side. I would have BMM starting ahead of Ava. BMM seems to play better the more minutes he plays.

I too struggle to see a spot for Fults gong forward but most will disagree with me.

Fair call, you might be right with BMM starting.

I think we have to look at the current NRL blueprint for sucess which is big forwards and big bench. Fulton and Anasta are too small.

My side has size. Sirro to bulk up more in offseason to play a ball playing second rower

Teddy
Nofo
Simona
Richards/Lawrence
Koro (hopefully improves his defence in offseason)

Austin
Brooks

Sue (love his aggression and lock is his positon better with a year under his belt)
Pattison (has size and mobility and experience)
Sirro (hope he puts on more size. quality player and with a decent halfback could be a great hole runner)
Woods (our best prop and played State of Origin)
Farah (legend and captain)
Taupau (like his aggression and want him to start. Has size we need. Did play well at start of season for the doggies)

Bench

Ava (prop rotation with Tapou - hits the line hard and developing well)
Galloway (prop rotation with Woods so we have experiece at all times on the field in the engine room)
BMM (input forward and needs to believe in himself. Could develop as the x factor off the bench and a with a decent half back and structure will benefit him)
Halatua (experience and cover a number of positons inluding hooker)

Next Best

Fulton (love the bloke but too small for WT version 2014)
Blair (improved moving to prop but has 4 props ahead of him and lazy as a second rower)
Gravet (with injuries may get a chance. needs a decent offfseason and luck with injuries)
Thompson (depth only. lucky to playing many NRL games with new recruits on board)
Buchanan (has better props ahead of him but good injury cover)
Brown (will benefit playing week in week out against men. Will play plenty NRL games once Galloway retires)
Anasta (hopefully he retires at end of season)
Molltzen (hope he goes to Super League)
The former Newcastle Centre
Moses (2015 is his year)

Outside of Brooks I don't think five-eighth is a massive issue for us. Anasta and Moltzen can have the spot until Moses carves up NYC/reggies enough times in a row to demand the spot. Could be next year but it won't be round one. There are just too many experienced options on salaries. As I said I don't think our six really needs to do much next year with Farah distributing to Brooks so I couldn't give a toss who plays there.
