2011 top 25 squads for NRL

[WaznTheGreat]

If a quality prop like Martin Kennedy is being held back behind geniuss like Hargreaves and Conn then smart clubs will already be sniffing around trying to steal him away.

Agree,Martin Kennedy is easily the Roosters best forward

IMO, that Storm side isn't a certain top 4. I would even question them making the 8. I think Bellamy has got a big job on his hands 2011.

 

[madunit]

Dogs and Knights look to have pretty shaky halves combinations.

Storm will be unstoppable when injury free.

Their biggest problem is going to be depth, they have Kostjaysn and Cronk who can play hooker, Kelly, Widdop and Kostjaysn can also play half or five-eighth and Widdop can play at Fullback so they can cover for most of their big name players during origin time.

Can't believe they've hung onto Quinn though, O'Neill is just as good, much younger and cheaper.

 

[DFC005]

So still missing Eels (although I do like the team posted), Cowboys, Titans and the Sharks. Anyone got any idea on those?

 

[MatthewA]

Forgot about Dene Halatau. He'll still be at the club next year.

Thats a very strong squad... but then the cowboys could have the current test team and still find a way to finish in the bottom 3.

Storm looks ok but they are really light in the front row. If Troy Thompson is your number 1 prop you have big problems. Bench prop at best.

Sorry, best I can think of ATM.

Probably not too far off...I'd be expecting something like (and I'm not expecting this top 17, it's just something like what I would like to see at some stage);

1-Jarryd Hayne
2-Luke Burt
3-Joel Reddy
4-Timana Tahu
5-Eric Grothe
6-Tom Humble
7-Brad Murray
8-Justin Poore
9-Casey McGuire
10-Fui Fui Moi Moi
11-Nathan Hindmarsh
12-Ben Smith
13-Shane Shackleton

14-Anthony Mitchell
15-Tim Mannah
16-Justin Horo
17-Reni Maitua

18-Daniel Mortimer
19-Jeff Robson
20-Taniela Lasalo
21-Carl Webb
22-Jordan Atkins
23-Matt Keating

I have a feeling with Kearney we might see some young fellas in the last two spots, with Manase going into the part time squad? Anyway, they will go to two of;

Ken Sio
Pat O'Hanlon
Jakob Loko (unlikely, but maybe. He's a must keep so they might add him...)
Mitchell Allgood
Pele Peletelese
Manase Manuokafoa

I'm probably forgetting someone
