your side for Round 1

[chewsta]

I'd like to see Feki play centre this year.

Its got me beat why Flanno and the coaching staff do not see the potential in Feki as a Centre! He could be anything in the centres.
Any of you blokes in the know, know what the reasons behind this are? is he not meeting his KPI's?? :sarcasm:

 

[ghoti]

Doesn't have great hands or much of a draw and pass which would be the main reason keeping him on the wing IMO...but leutele would only be marginally better in that regard

 

[Frenzy.]

Feki is an out and out centre. if he's lost his draw and pass it's from him languishing on the wing too long. He'll get that back quick smart.

 

[southland]

Agree 100% about Feki to centre... Doubt we will see it but it does open up a wing spot for Gagan/Holmes and means Leutele can battle it out with Beale for the other centre spot..

We have a potentially top 8 backline but it will need to fire big time to contend... Don't know about our depth.. Brown, the pick of them, solid nothing flashy, dependable but no match winner, K Stanely looked slow as during the 4 nations, Sami is an unknown who didn't get a run for Canberra last year... Bird, huge potential but untested, then very quickly we are talking Ashyford... anyone else..?

Whoops drop Arona off the bench, put Bakuya on the bench and put Lewis in the 2nd row of course !

[Card Shark]

Season's getting close, so I thought I might give this go. Some good players will miss out, which is great indication of depth.

1. Gordon
2. Feki
3. Leutele
4. Beale
5. Gagan
6. Barba
7. Robson
8. A.Fifita
9. Ennis
10. Gallen
11. Lewis
12. Bakuya
13. Graham

14. Holmes
15. Tagataese
16. Tupou
17. D.Fifita

Couldn't find a spot for Bird or Heighington but they will get their chance in the following weeks.

Season's getting close, so I thought I might give this go. Some good players will miss out, which is great indication of depth.

1. Gordon
2. Feki

16. Tupou
17. D.Fifita

Couldn't find a spot for Bird or Heighington but they will get their chance in the following weeks.

I would have Bird in for Leutele based on pre season form.

 

[Card Shark]

Hearing you mate but he's s bit unproven in the backs.

 

[carinashark]

I don't think Beal will much good , others will shine. But another millstone we will have to move on like Most of the ex Dragons that we have had since the mighty Stevo.

 

[Birdee_Num_Num]

1. Holmes
2. Gordon
3. Leutele (Sauiluma if under performing by rnd 4)
4. Feki
5. Gagan
6. Barba
7. Robson
8. A.Fifita
9. Ennis
10. D.Fifita
11. Lewis
12. Gallen

14. Tagataese
15. Bakuya
16. Heighington
17. Tupou

 

[Snoop Shark]

Clearly the team I want named and the team flanno comes up with will differ. I think our forwards pretty much name themselves so as far as backs go id like to see Leutele start the year with Newtown. What this does is potentially opens the door for one of our decent wingers.

Something like this:

1. Gordon
2. Feki
3. Beale
4. Gagan/Bird/Feki
5. Holmes/Gagan/Saulima/Brown

So in affect Leutele would just be a hinderance to some of these decent wingers we have waiting in the wings so to speak

 

[azzah72]

Going by the reports and some stuff flanno has said.

Gordon
Holmes
Beale
Ayshford
Feki

Barba
Robbo

A Fifita
Ennis
Tagatese

Lewis
Graham
Gallen

Tupou
Heiington
Bird
Bakuya

Not what I want but what it sounds a bit like.

14. Tiranau Arona
15. David Fifita
16. Chris Heighington
17. Anthony Topou

18. Jack Bird

Holmes ahead of Bird but this side is closer to the mark for mine.

Highno and Toups are certains so dont exclude them otherwise you're just diddling around with your own bullshit.

Edit: and Boogs

 

[Craigshark]

I think Flanno will go

Gordon
Feki
Beale
Ayshford
Holmes
Barba
Robson
Fifita
Ennis
Tagatese
Lewis
Graham
Gallen

Heighington
Tupou
Bukuya
Fifita/Arona/Bird/Politoni?

 

[Coastal Shark]

Gallen has to go to prop otherwise he will think he's our half, lock and all round ball player and organiser.

 

[southland]

1. Gordon
2. Feki
3. Beale
4. Bird
5. Gagan
6. Barba
7. Robbo
8. A Fifita
9. Ennis
10. Gallen
11. Lewis
12. Toupo
13. Graham

14. Holmes
15. Bukuya
16. Heighington
17. Taga / Houma / D Fifita
18. Arona

Is what I'd be excited to see...

Flanno will probably see Aysford and M Brown in there somewhere tho... Love to see Houma come on to replace Gal at Prop. Fifita may have earned a spot from the allstars, see how he goes against the tigers trial.. Miss Nu Brown already..

 

[Snoop Shark]

^^^^
Pretty much the team we have to run with southy!

Whether flanno makes these changes I'm not sure but for us to move on from playing boring footy that team above is the only way forward
