That looks about right although I'd have Ryan Couchman in and Guler can go and play in the park. He and Luch are defensive liabilities

Halangahu has to be in the 17.

Both Couchmen in the 17 for sure.. Ryan a bit forgotten due to injury last year. He is also quality

 

[twinkletoes]

Both Ryan and Egan will not be playing for the first 6 rounds or so…. that leaves our forward pack very vulnerable…. like lambs to the slaughter….just can’t see us being competitive for quite some time without some massive recruitment in the forwards

A back row of:
11. Halangahu,
12. Su'A,
13. Cook

would do the job however, Flanagan would most probably go for:
11. Leilua/Egan
12. Su'A
13. Sele

A prop rotation of:
8. T Couchman
10. Kerr
15. Toga
16. Stewart

would be most likely

I'm pretty sure Stewart is a lock for lock.

 

[possm]

I'm pretty sure Stewart is a lock for lock.

Flanno would want as much experience in our forward pack as possible. Prop and lock are middle positions,. Stewart can play at prop or lock..

 

[The Word]

Both Ryan and Egan will not be playing for the first 6 rounds or so…. that leaves our forward pack very vulnerable…. like lambs to the slaughter….just can’t see us being competitive for quite some time without some massive recruitment in the forwards

Massive recruitment of forwards would mean letting most of our promising juniors go which would be self-defeating and frankly stupid. We need 1 or 2 high quality forwards to help bring the young guys through.

 

[dragon thomo]

Your right The Word

 

[VodkaSaint]

I'm pretty sure Stewart is a lock for lock.

pretty sure is the reason we let JDB go
he is the future

 

[Dragon set in stone.]

If we don't get any decent signings soon I'm going to be Angry Anderson??? LoL

Well if every one is happy to wait another couple of seasons before our junior forwards make a real impact so be it…. but don’t start whinging when we are getting pumped week in week out

 

[The Word]

No one’s happy about waiting but which juniors do you want to release to make space for all the forwards who want to come here?

 

[Dragsters]

One lead experienced alpha would be an asset for the juniors to follow.

Kerr can do that to some extent but with the loss of Klem and Jack, another would be good.

A Liam Henry type would be great.

Have you not seen the gaping holes in our squad list? What are you even on about?

 

[twinkletoes]

It seems to me we are in exactly the same position as this time last year… lacking an aggressive middle, lacking a game managing half back with a good boot…. and we know how that ended . The younger forwards have had some more experience but by no means ready to dominate first grade.
We’ve had 12 months to fill these deficiencies and yet seem to have our feet stuck in concrete

 

[Lindsay Moss]

We are stuck with some players like Guler, Sloan and Lawrie until the end of the year. They will all play reserve grade and only get a run in first grade if players are injured.

Sloan is the only one in the club that has any speed and was our top try scorer last year we need him in the team plus he will be back up fullback .

 

[getsmarty]

Agree...although he has had a number of seasons in the top grade and his defence is rubbish.

There is a reason he was told to look elsewhere.... I am sure that he was expected to become a regular starter and something seems to be lacking.... the coaching staff would have a good idea.

Its a real shame, because he has ability in spades.

We have all seen it.
Catches the ball infield and runs it dead!
when in the clear has speed to run with the sprint dogs yet won’t chase down players, that defines laziness.
Runs at Gutherson and knocks him over trying to catch the ball.
Pretends to tackle.
Blind Freddy can see this shit but we persisted with him for his gifts in attack .
He is just plane dumb.
I love him
I wished he did make it
But he is more a liability .
