2009 Player Profiles

[Frederick]

Hasn't been given the honour of a mug shot on the website though. Still, it doesn't seem to mean anything seeing Wes, Aku and Mika don't (as yet) have their profiles on there either.

He does have his own mugshot (as do the others mentioned), his profile just hasn't been done yet. Edwards is definitely in the full time squad though

NYC profiles are partially up:

Luckily we know we have Stig, wyborn, Tetevano. Pearson, Osbourne, Papamou and hopefully a few others to be added, or i'd be very worried.

I'm trying to think of another prop or two - Tupou, Ailoami, Garbutt and McHattan seems like a very young and inexperienced prop rotation for us to be counting on.

 

[aqua_duck]

good side, but you forgot Boss - who i think must be a halfback and the one Pika says is going OK.
Pearson hasn't really impressed, so i hope so.
I don't think much of Hunt so far - so he will need a big off season to be better than someone like Lamb, who might not be fast, but he was safe as houses in NSW cup and has played for NSW at an under 17 level.

Shaun Boss played for Parramatta SG Ball last year. Second row or prop. He played for Central Coast junior reps before that.

Lamb should be better this year - injured and (badly) bashed last year.

having a look, these are so.... erm.... cheesy.

funny.

 

[Pika]

Kevin is the halfback.

Lock Ford in for fullback, he has been great.

Boss is in the mix, one of the few people at 100kg who can handle prop. Fearless.

Ben Toupu may make the prop spot, he is slowly getting in shape.

Papamau will need some work if we are to see him this year.

He has been throuh a lot and yet to do a training session. He is in poor shape.

If he can get sorted we may see him mid season.

Edwards has not done a session, he is a mid season prospect as well.

I think Marlborough if fit can push Manny for hooker, and Wyborn is also performing well there.

Pearson concerns me greatly. Never seen a grown man sook like he does when he gets frustrated in the wrestle.......

 

[aqua_duck]

Which toyota cup player would you say has impressed you most in pre season

 

[roopy]

Ford is an interesting player.
Every game last year he showed new skills - but he also showed he can make some horrendous mistakes.
If he has added some bulk and strength he needs people to follow him when he runs because he had a massive potential to offload with his spiderman arms last year, and a bit of strength to stand in a tackle more and he will offload every time.

Apart from those training in NRL, I would say Boss, Ford and a kid called Cruise (not sure of his last name). Kid is a talent, not sure if he has the size......

And the half back down from Gold Coast Kevin, he has looked sharp as well.

.

Is that Kruise Wilson (i suppose it has to be - how many kid's named Kruise are there?)
He was at the Storm last year, but didn't play NYC.

He is my least favourite player - don't know why - he just strikes me as up himself.
