12.????
13. Glasby

14. Watson
15. JSaifiti
16. Barnett
17. Mata'utai

I think Barnett would go better in the middle than on the edge. I like Mata'utai and I think he has a lot to offer. But I seem like the only one here haha..

I really hope there's a better option than Moga..
Bradman Best ready yet?

 

[slotmachine]

How is Fitzy an automatic starter and Barnett isn’t?

Can I like this twice. Barnett out outplayed sione, Fitz and any other edge forward this year

 

[Knight Vision]

Barnett leads our pack in offloads, tries scored , tackles made and has made almost half the errors of Fitzy. All this from our right side. Glasby doesnt even rate a mention in any stats of note.

 

[Yosh]

12 can be SBW Yosh.

It's kinda sad how I'd take just about anyone now... But SBW would be just awesome.

I think Barnett would go to another level if they played him in the middle, whilst he makes a fair fist of it on the edge his game is so much better suited in the middle

How would you rate a pack of:

Klemmer
Brailey
Glasby
Fitz
Capewell
Barnett

Watson
Daifiti
Jaifiti
Sione

Let klem and glas enjoy the softening up period then bring on the twin towers to wreck havok

Capewell would be our number 1 edge backrower which is abit of a sad reality considering he's a benchy at the Sharks. I think we need the twins to really develop more and provide more impact, for the size they are I just don't really see them ever trample over anyone or stand in a tackle and offload, I think they should take Jake and change his training routine, forget about getting really fit and developing endurance just put him on a NFL style training program and work on explosive power, short bursts, etc.

 

[Burns]

The twins need to actually prove they can cause havoc first.

 

[Burwood]

My worry with Capewell is that Brown will start playing him in the centres as soon as we get one injury.

 

[cb4]

FWIW I have heard that Capewell has agreed a contract with you but is giving Cronulla every option to meet the terms.
Capewell is a very handy utility player, best played on the left edge.
He doesn't run straight and hard though, or very good lines, and his defence is sloppy, but he is an awkward runner and can be tough to tackle.
His hands can let him down one minute and be incredible the next.

So pretty average in attack and defence? Sounds like a really shrewd signing.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Let’s build a wall down the centre of the field so everyone plays left.

 

[Old dog]

We are ok in 2nd row at moment why do we need to sign a maybe type player when we have greater needs in 5/8 and centre/wing. If 2nd row it needs to be a top notch automatic selection not a maybe we play him bench or cup.

We have probably the worst back row combo in the comp.

David Fifita transforms our team. Capewell does not.

 

[Old dog]

Fifita ok Capewell not

 

[aqua_duck]

The criticisms of Capewell are very similar to Beau Fermor. As for our perceived strength in the backrow, in terms of middle backrowers we're pretty set, in terms of edge backrowers we'd rank toward the bottom of the NRL IMO

I don’t count 13 as back row any more.

Our edges (11-12, 3-4) are below ordinary.

12 Barnett
13 Glasby
14 Watson
15 Sione
16 JSaf
17 King
This is assuming Gavet, Ese’ese, Guerra, Levi, Griff and we sign up young players to develop and not soso players who are promised positions but don’t make it.
It’s not a bad side but we probably will lack depth.

 

[Knight Vision]

only after first playing Sione there and then Mann and then Hunt before shifting him to the wing - and thats during the game.

 

[Yosh]

Serious question:

Do we have any players signed up to play centre or wing next year?
