I wonder what this means??? Maybe they have signed somebody .. or at least very close to signing somebody of high quality...maybe even a rep player. Who knows?

:shock: It is impossible for a Rep player to sign isnt it. There is nobody left. I think it may be an extension for Jamie Russo :roll: or maybe confidence about Stuart Fielden. At least he wont have a prob with Canberra Climate :lol:

If El Masri hasn't signed yet, then no.. he has played for Oz.

 

[Raider_69]

El Mazri = #-o #-o #-o

probable additions are Bulgas youngens :lol:

2. Phillip Graham
3. Adam Mogg
4. Nathan Smith
5. Matthew Gafa
6. Mark Mclinden
7. Todd Carney
8. Ryan O'Hara
9. Simon Woolford (C)
10. Ian Hindmarsh
11. Jason Croker
12. Jason Smith
13. Terry Campese

14. Michael Weyman

[Raider_69]

please tell me your joking
hindy at prop?
your kidding yourself!!! :lol:

 

[Freddo]

i only named him there as a starting prop to just him in the side and like he can me sub at any time of the match like stick cross weyman or hodgson in the front row push hindmarsh to 2nd row croker to lock. and campese to the bench or slot him in at 5/8 and give mclinden a rest or push mclinden to half and give carney a rest. the side is pretty verstitle

goin for a player can cover a few postion so they can chop and change if they need to

 

[legend]

My revised team in light of player movements in the past couple of days:

Schif
Howell
Mogg
Frawley*
Graham/Gafa
Smith
McLinden
Croker
Howell
Hindmarsh
O'Hara
Woolford
Weyman

Hodgson
Martin
Carney
Rothery

Thompson
Robbo
N Smith
T Smith
Tongue
Kahler
Miller
Ale

 

[edabomb]

I'd agree with most of that legend. Not a bad looking squad. I think Tyran might come into the 17 though. Maybe at the expense of Martin. We'll need a hitter in defense with Rubes and Davico gone, and Tyran is the 3rd best in the club.

 

[thickos]

Yep solid team there legend. Edabomb, is Tyran even going to be with us next year??? :?

 

[edabomb]

No idea, he's back in reserves though so I am assuming yes. He wouldn't get much interest from the UK, and is probably on ok money at the Raiders so I think he'll play out his contract. My replacement of Martin with Smith would only occur if Smith was on form. Whens hes good, hes a very good first grader IMO. I think we miss his creativity more than a lot of people recognise this year.

 

[centralcoastbrad]

just thought i'd put my two bobs worth in for this.
my team is a little different but one for the future.

SCHIF
GAFA
FRANCISCUS
MUNDINE
GRAHAM
J SMITH
MARTY
CROKER
HINDY
MARTIN
OHARA
WOOLFORD
WEYMAN

RES TOUNGUE, HODGO, CARNEY, ROTHERY

 

[twistedbydesign]

Brad how could you possibly exclude Moggy on current form?!

1. Shif
2. Gafa
3. Frawley
4. Mogg
5. Phil
6. J Smith
7. Mac
8. Weyman
9. wooly
10. rhino
11. Hindy
12. Hodgo
13. Croker

Looks alright aye? theres some solid outside backs waiting in the wings, including robbo and smithy, and plenty of good backrowers in reserve too with the likes of rothery, kahler, t smith, tezza etc. biggest worry is front row depth i would say. still, considering all that has occured things look ok i think.

 

[Raider_69]

Front row depth

Rhino, Weyman, Cross, Thompson...

not too flash

 

[hrundi99]

Front row depth

Cross...

not too flash

:shock:

 

[thickos]

hrundi, I think our mate 69 is at the 'acceptance' stage now :shock:

 

[Raider_69]

Cross, Weyman and Rhino are all tops, will play for australia but if one goes down we are f**ked cause i recon thomo is ordinary and Elliot loves thomo!!!

 

[edabomb]

I'd take Thommo over Cross......*braces for extreme verbal abuse* :lol: :lol: . Cross could be important next year if he can get some better meterage gains on his hitups. He aims up in defense thats for sure.
