The future team lists

[oldmancraigy]

I'm not going to be so ridiculous as to suggest a particular round. I'm just talking about our strongest possible lineup in 2024.

I am guessing we have a few premierships under the belt between now and then. I think it will be the year of the new breed coming through. Will they be able to pull off another 3-4 premierships in the 7 years that follow 2024??

For mine the team looks fairly set for that year, almost every position is locked in already. Something like

1. ??
2. ??
3. ??
4. ??
5. ??
6. ??
7. ??
8. Mannah (c)
9. ??
10. ??
11. ??
12. ??
13. ??

14. ??
15. ??
16. ??
17. ??

My only fear is that Mannah retires from concussion. I hear that could happen before the Broncos game??

 

[Dibs]

I'd throw Archie Hindmarsh in there somewhere

Surely one of Mannah's kids will be available by then?

That little mincer can f**k off.

And with that, the howling abyss beckoned, now inescapable. The slide had become inexorable, the point of no return long since passed. Above, even the realms of madness seemed to quiet in momentary sympathy with those about to be swallowed by the void....

[I'm a loser baby...]

Oh well. Was good while it lasted.

1. French
2. Parry
3. Gutherson
4. Afualo
5. Davis
6. Dargan
7. Moses
8. Alvaro
9. Pritchard
10. Meehan
11. Niukore
12. Moeroa
13. Brown

14. Schneider
15. Utoikamanu

[hindy111]

What round are we at ?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well as you can see, it must be round 30 because Jim Mannah is back from his suspension for stomping some merkin's head at the General Bourke.

Tim Smith making a remarkable comeback to rugby league at the age of 82

 

[strider]

[T.S Quint]

Yeah that does seem pretty unlikely.
Not the 'not buying any players' bit...the 'keeping the ones we want' bit.

Who shot who in the what now?

Death rider. Do you always have to be so negative?

 

[Gary Gutful]

Went really close in 2038 but John Grant III f**ked our chances of signing anyone when he organised an audit of our salary cap 2 days before the GF.

Sadly this resulted in all of our players except 1 person being stood down. Our brave captain Jim Mannah was no match for 13 players.
