I'm pretty sure we are all set for 2018.
Or does pearce going to knights mean that Joel will now move to Manly?

I think Parra will have a big year next year. They will have a backline of
1 Gutherson
2 French
3 Hayne
4 Jennings
5 Hoffman
6 Norman
7 Moses
That looks like a pretty good backline to me. I also believe that Arthur will get Hayne performing well. Arthur will not tolerate an BS. If Hayne does not perform, or has a negative effect on the team, then Arthur will take the appropriate action. I like Arthur as a coach. I probably have Parra finishing 4th right now.
I don't think that Mann is a centre. I would rather give Lomax first shot at centre ahead of Mann.1 Gutherson Dufty
2 French Field
3 Hayne Lafai
4 Jennings Mann
5 Hoffman Lomax
6 Norman Widdop
7 Moses Hunt
Don't know why you keep pushing Field on the wing. Disaster waiting to happen.1 Gutherson Dufty

I think Field would do a better job than Nightingale especially since he has bulked up over the off season. I pray that mother Mary will ensure he improves on his defence having more confidence his body can take the relatively low punishment dished out to wingers.Don't know why you keep pushing Field on the wing. Disaster waiting to happen.
There are far superior options for Nightingales wing spot amongst our juniors, including both Herbert and Garrick who are ready to go. Field is quick, but that's the only attribute he brings to the wing. Despite bulking up 13kgs (half of which he's likely to lose over the pre-season) he is still very, very light and would make little-to-no impact carting the ball out of our end. He is not tested under the high ball or making decisions in defence, and his tackling needs a lot of work. His elusiveness and ballplaying are completely wasted as a winger. But the biggest teller is that he's never played in that position, so why shoehorn him into a position in first grade when his size alone will give him enough grief trying to make the jump.I think Field would do a better job than Nightingale especially since he has bulked up over the off season.

Field has really good speed and elusiveness, he has been tipped to be a possible future candidate for fullback and has performed well with a very light body against men in reserve grade.
Running off Widdop and Mann of the left edge, Field would be dynamite in attack and is capable of scoring long range tries. His utility value is also a great plus giving less reason for going for a utility on the bench. I just have the feeling he would be a winner at 2 and would like to see him selected there during the trials.
