Round 1 2015 Team

[oldmancraigy]

From what I understand, Sio was on $140-150k.

Obviously they don't rate him above a minimum salary kind of guy (probably rightly so), and so he walked/ wasn't retained.

PS: Twizz, I just made those numbers up, so no source requried

:lol:

Sio wasn't the type of winger that we needed. I think Goodall will turn out pretty good, he'll be just as rampaging as Semi.

 

[Bazal]

The funniest thing is the people who bitching about Sio leaving, and also bitching about Robinson playing. They're basically the same player, but Robinson is faster.

Goodall isn't ready, Toutai and Faraimo are better options at this stage. That's not to say Goodall won't get there, but he needs work

Forgot to label him "NRL Star Ken Sio" though.

WHO will be our captain???

 

[The Engineers Room]

Mannah will obviously be captain.

 

[hindy111]

Well Mannah only plays 40 mins. And he is a useless captain.So who will be captain or shall I open a thread

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Mannah is the friendly face of the club. He will be one of our captains until he retires.

 

[hindy111]

Mannah is a useless captain.So when he is off the field who will be our captain?

 

[TheParraboy]

Peats

maybe watmough?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I suspect off the field is the only time he's the captain.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Mannah plays 50-55 minutes.

Mannah plays 50-55 minutes.

Then we should definitely look at reducing his field time.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Mannah plays 50-55 minutes.

Here are his minutes on field, counting back from Round 26

42, 44, 38, 34, 39, 51, 49, 38, 46 (that takes us back to Round 15).

Not too many 50-55 minute games there.

Whenever Mannah goes off we struggle though, we don't have any props who go back and help ruck it out with the backs and our middle defence is much worse. It happened earlier on this decade when Cayless would go off the field and we didn't have that middle leader. Junior and Mannah will be our #1 and #2 props next year, we should be getting 50+ minutes out of them whenever possible.

This is (hopefully) where Watmough will help immensely.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

I think he will but we still need our two best props on the field for most of the match.

I wasn't being serious. I just don't think he's a good captain. Decent player tho.
