2005 squad

[Azkatro]

Might want to make this a sticky!

Possible 2005 squad so far:

1. Matt Bowen
2. Ty Williams
3. Josh Hannay
4. Paul Bowman
5. Matt Sing
6. Johnathan Thurston
7. Chris Sheppard
13. Travis Norton
12. Justin Smith
11. Luke O'Donnell
10. Mitchell Sargent
9. Leigh McWilliams

14. Brent McConnell
15. Jaiman Lowe
16. Michael Luck
17. Daniel Strickland

The forward depth is incredible. That list is without considering the maybes that are Kevin Campion and Glenn Morrison. Plus you could add any of the following to the forward pack: Jamie McDonald, Shane Tronc, David Faiumu, Steve Southern, Ben Laity, Mark Dalle Cort, Jacob Lillyman, Clint Amos just to name a few.

Also retaining the entirety of that backline (except Fien) can't hurt us too badly.

Isn't Jamie Mcdonald being let go? McConnell on the bench instead of Payne? Is Payne definately on the outer?

 

[Billybob]

wheres no.8???

 

[Azkatro]

Alright alright take it easy! This is a work in progress

1. Matt Bowen
2. Ty Williams
3. Josh Hannay
4. Paul Bowman
5. Matt Sing
6. Johnathan Thurston
7. Chris Sheppard
13. Travis Norton
12. Justin Smith
11. Luke O'Donnell
10. Mitchell Sargent
9. Leigh McWilliams
8. Paul Rauhihi

14. Aaron Payne
15. Jaiman Lowe
16. Michael Luck
17. Daniel Strickland

How's that look?

 

[WayneRooney]

Southern on the bench instead of Strickers.

 

[Spike]

Lowe, Payne, McDonald, Tronc, Laity and Lillyman were all off contract this year. Have all these been retained?

 

[Azkatro]

Ahh yeah I remember hearing something about Payne. I assume they'll keep the younger guys - Tronc, Laity and Lillyman. Not sure about McDonald, haven't heard of any other clubs showing interest, but I sure hope they retain J-Lowe.

 

[Pazza]

not a bad looking side

 

[thuganomics]

Who will do Goal Kicking...Hannay or Smith....You would expect Hannay to.

 

[Azkatro]

Yeah definitely Hannay.

Morro has signed with Parra so he's definitely no longer in the squad for 2005.

 

[BD5733]

Who will do Goal Kicking...Hannay or Smith....You would expect Hannay to.

Thurston would have a better g'king % than both Hannay and Smith. You'd think Hannay would keep the duties though.

 

[gcbronco]

You can add Carl Webb to that lineup. If he comes with the right attitude to the Cowboys he will be a great addition to your lineup.

 

[Azkatro]

1. Matt Bowen
2. Ty Williams
3. Josh Hannay
4. Paul Bowman
5. Matt Sing
6. Johnathan Thurston
7. Chris Sheppard
13. Travis Norton
12. Justin Smith
11. Luke O'Donnell
10. Mitchell Sargent
9. Leigh McWilliams
8. Paul Rauhihi

14. Aaron Payne
15. Jaiman Lowe
16. Carl Webb
17. Steve Southern

Looks alright yeah? Still not sure about the status of J-Lowe though, but we've got plenty of depth to call upon in the forward pack.

Tronc is awesome. Saw him play last week, had an outstanding game. Carl Webb will be a big boost, good signing.
