italics are crap/average players in that position, of corse my opinion

Half: Carney, J.Smith, Withers
5/8th: J. Smith, Carney, Campese
Lock: Croker, T.Smith, J.Smith, N.Smith, Campese, Tongue

he has made alot of improvements to his game under the fitness regime of Jenno (our fitness whiz) and former PL coach Wayne Collins, will he ever play reps?! I doubt it but he will be a decent first grader, he definatly isnt an average/less than average player IMO

Also Mogg is a better fullback than centre. He played almost all his QLD Cup time in the 1. If the Raiders ever got smart, Schifcofscke will get moved for Mogg.

I disagree, granted i wouldnt have seen as much of him at fullback as QLD cup watchers but the 1 or 2 games ive seen him play there have been pretty poor and he isnt exactly a shit centre, he is going well in the centres, he is a top defencive centre but it would be interesting to see how he would go as a fulltime fullback

He was the best fullback in the QLD Cup when he was there, I had to scratch my head everytime I saw him play wondering whay he wasn't in the NRL already.

keep the faith, no one really knows what will happen next year its all just opinions and usually there is a suprise packet

Mogg was fullback for Parra in 2002...

I remember us losing 34-28 against the Cowboys when Mogg was fullback, he is kinda slow and positionally poor, Marshall Chalk or Bronx Goodwin will be the better replacements IF Schif goes

 

[CULLUS.ONLINE]

Fullback: Schifcofske v Hodgson (shifty is good and i like him, but hodgo wins)
Winger: Chalk, Robertson v Richards (will get NSW) and Reick (Tigers just ahead)
Centre: Mogg, Gafa v Elford and Whatuira (Tigers by a mile)
Half: Withers v Prince (Tigers droped Withers for Prince... enough said, oh i forgot QLD x 3!!!!)
5/8th: J. Smith v Marshall (take a guess)
Lock: T.Smith v Galea (c) (Galea by a mile, he will get NSW this year)
2nd Row: Hodgeson, Hindmarsh v O'Neill and Laffranchi (Good GOD!)
Hooker: Woolford v Farah (woolf has exp, but farah will be a star)
Prop: O'Hara, Weymen v Skandalis and Gibbs (Gibbs will be the NSW Webcke and Skando wins by a mile)

Schif And Hodgo - DRAW - different type of player both with pos and negs
Chalk, Graham v Richards and Reick - DRAW - Chalk and Reick both good, Graham and Richards TOPS! but a tad injury prone.
Mogg, Frawley v Elford and Whatuira - Fatz isnt as good as Frawley IMO, how he made NZ is beyond me, Elford is a very simular player to Mogg, i rate this in favour of canberra
Carney v Prince - Prince but majorly because he is an established player and a damn good one at that, in a year or 2 this will be all Carney
J. Smith v Marshall - Marshall for capability but Smith has a great football brain.
Croker v Galea (c) - Gelea NSW?! you idiot!! Croker wins this and wins it well and thats accounting for the fact he is one old legs,
Hodgeson, Adamson v O'Neill and Laffranchi - DRAW - Hodgo and Adamson hold thier own, Hodgo is a work horse and adamson is the powerful agressive metre chewer. Lafranchi and O'Neil are both very good players.
Woolford v Farah - No contest, Woolford, and add to that Withers off the bench
O'Hara, Weymen v Skandalis, Gibbs - Given the option, id take canberras, both are young and have unlimited potential, Gibbs i dont know too much about other than he has some good raps on him and Skando although a gun is old, hasnt got many years left in him

If recruits/losses is going to be peoples prediction for next years table then Parramatta are dead set certainties for the Minor Premiership.

5/8th: J. Smith v Marshall (take a guess)

ok, i'll take a punt - the ex-Australian representative?! Whatuira and Elford - you're kidding aren't you?! try Graham and Mogg 8)

Lock: T.Smith v Galea (c) (Galea by a mile, he will get NSW this year)
2nd Row: Hodgeson, Hindmarsh v O'Neill and Laffranchi (Good GOD!)
Hooker: Woolford v Farah (woolf has exp, but farah will be a star)
Prop: O'Hara, Weymen v Skandalis and Gibbs (Gibbs will be the NSW Webcke and Skando wins by a mile)

Gibbs is a crap player, i don't understand all the hype about him (and i watched him closely, 'cos he was in my Virtual NRL team).

 

[Kris_man]

How did, only got a bench spot for the Baby Broncos after 6+ injuries to the players before him Kahler not get italics.

Kahler got 16 tries in PL 2004, not bad considering he spent a lot of time playing front row, and had first grade duties for a few weeks too. he has a ton of speed, a very good attacking back-rower. maybe the reason he only got a run off the bench was that he would have been 18-19 at the time. also, he was out a lot of last year with injury - maybe he had a similar run of luck while he was with Toowoomba, too.

I'm not biased, i'll tell y'all when a Raiders player sucks (Robertson, Tyran Smith, Alan Tongue, and Brad Drew was crap while he was with us), but Kahler doesn't.
