Best line up?

[myrrh ken]

Alright we are well and truly into the season now and had a decent look at everyone's form. Injuries aside what is our best lineup, now that the Handbrake has gone?

Back 3 pick themselves
Chambers one centre. Either Noodle or CT for the other.
Halves pick themselves
Toby, Graham, talakai. I think Nikora could do with a spell on the bench.
Toilerman and Woods and BB.

Bench? Nikora, Jack, BT or CT, BHU

That means Duges, Chad and even Feefs no longer first choice, although happy for him to prove me wrong.

 

[Tiger Shark]

If Ramien keeps playing like that he needs to be starting. Shows how much better he plays with early ball.

The rest can't argue with, though I think I prefer Uele starting over Tolman.

Bench of Tolman, Williams, Wilton and Tracey. Though I do like the impact Talakai has off the bench and his rotation with Rudolf.

 

[Craigshark]

Kennedy
Katoa
Chambers
Ramien
Ronaldo
Moylan
Johnson
Tolman
Brailey
Woods
Nikora
Graham
Rudolf

Tracey
Talakai
Williams
Uele

Fifita
Wilton
Hunt
Trindall
Pele

Dugan





Chad

 

[Big Bloke]

Here is my full strength line up, excluding Royce Hunt who I don't think we'll see again this year.

Kennedy
Katoa
Chambers
Ramien
Mulitalo
Moylan
Johnson
Tolman
Brailey
Rudolf
Graham
Talakai
Williams

Tracey
Woods
Nikora
Uele

So in my squad no room for:

Fifita
Townsend
Dugan
Trindall
Wilton
Pele

I think Woods needs to go back to the bench and Toby should be playing at 8 or 10, I believe that is where Fitzy will play him next season. Williams is playing well enough to lock the scrum now.

Nikora is not doing enough for mind, I'd have him on the bench but even then it's a toss of the coin with Wilton. Let Talakai start and ram anyone in his way on the edge.

Wow Wilton fell out of contention real quick, tough to miss out, been really consistent and did a solid job in those earlier rounds imo
Can't remember him dropping the ball once

I don't mind Wilton but I don't think he is all that strong or skilful. He's just a no frills player who probably won't make many mistakes but he's not going to win you games either.

 

[Tiger Shark]

Wilton has some skill on him, and will get his time. Just needs consistent time in the back row.

His PCM's and average metres are up there so strength is defn not an issue.

 

[spirit of league]

Some tough calls (for a change!)

1. Kennedy
   Katoa
   Chambers
   Ramien
   Ronaldo
   Moylan
   Johnson
   Tolman
   Brailey
   Woods
   Talakai
   Graham
   Rudolf
   
   Tracey
   Nikora/Wilton
   Williams
   Uele (more impact from bench than start)
   
   Fifita (Fitness? Pls prove me wrong!)
   Hunt (pending injury rehab I see as potential starting prop)
   Trindall
   Pele
   Dugan

I must admit I felt the same about Capewell and look how far hes progressed since leaving us- named at #3 for QLD!

Tolman
Brailey
Woods
Nikora
Graham
Rudolf

Tracey
Talakai
Williams
Uele

Fifita
Wilton
Hunt
Trindall
Pele

Dugan





Chad

This would be my 17.... With either Wilton or Duges as 18th man.

 

[snout]

Wiltons definately in my 17
Fitzy will love him.
Hes probably a starter by now under robbo or belly.

Duges.
Woods.
Man...theyre like dogshit on your shoe you cant scrape off.
It wont be there much longer but at the moment damn annoying.
One of my least ever liked forwards is woods.

Nikora will hopefully become a star under Fitz of Fury but he just is not what we thought he'd be...but what he does well is turn up about 5 metres out from our line when someone looks like scoring and cuts them down.

 

[Birdee_Num_Num]

Kennedy
Katoa

Tolman
Brailey

Nikora
Graham
Rudolf

Tracey
Talakai
Williams
Uele

Fifita
Wilton
Hunt
Trindall
Pele

Dugan





Chad

I think hunt or fifita make that side over uele atm.
needs to recapture some of that early form.

 

[SKIBUR]

Watching Wilton come through the grades, he's a good, constant performer but he's a dumb player taking plenty of poor options.

Hopefully a bit of awareness is coached into him.
