2011 top 25 squads for NRL

[DFC005]

Following on from the similar thread last year, thought it would be good to start listing each clubs top 25 squad for 2011.

 

[Big Pete]

Not official...but going by the 2010 Top 25 and our recent signings...

BRISBANE BRONCOS 2011 Unofficial Top 25
Rohan Ahern
Scott Anderson
Gerard Beale
Dale Copley
Mitchell Dodds
Matt Gillett
Alex Glenn
David Hala
Ben Hannant
Justin Hodges
Josh Hoffman
Ben Hunt
Greg Inglis
Denan Kemp
Nick Kenny
Darren Lockyer
Dunamis Lui
Andrew McCullough
Josh McGuire
Corey Norman
Ben Te'o
Sam Thaiday
Shane Tronc
Peter Wallace
Jharal Yow Yeh

1st XIII
1. Josh Hoffman
2. Dane Gagai
3. Greg Inglis
4. Justin Hodges
5. Jharal Yow Yeh
6. Darren Lockyer (c)
7. Peter Wallace
8. Ben Hannant
9. Andrew McCullough
10. Shane Tronc
11. Ben Te'o
12. Sam Thaiday
13. Corey Parker

14. Alex Glenn
15. Matt Gillett
16. Nick Kenny
17. Scott Anderson

18. Rohan Ahern
19. Gerard Beale
20. Dale Copley
21. Mitchell Dodds
22. David Hala
23. Ben Hunt
24. Denan Kemp
25. Dunamis Lui
26. Josh McGuire
27. Corey Norman

Gagai will force his way into there. I made a mistake initially, I doubt Lui will be in our Top 25...but he'll be in the senior squad for sure.

 

[mxlegend99]

A guess at the Panthers squad:

1. Lachlan Coote
2. Brad Tighe
3. Michael Jennings
4. Michael Gordon
5. Sandor Earl
6. Travis Burns
7. Luke Walsh
8. Tim Grant
9. Kevin Kingston
10. Petero Civoniceva
11. Trent Waterhouse
12. Nathan Smith
13. Luke Lewis

14. Masada Iosefa
15. Sam McKendry
16. Matt Bell
17. Nigel Plum

18. Joseph Paulo
19. David Simmons
20. Adrian Purtell
21. Daine Laurie
22. Arana Taumata
23. Shane Elford
24. Frank Puletua
25. Nafe Seluini


Less certain of the blokes at the bottom of the list. Not sure what's going on with Frank Puletua and Shane Elford (retirement, re-signed or partial contracts etc.) and whether Nafe Seluini is part of the top squad or not. But that's probably pretty close given our lack of signings so far.

[KeepingTheFaith]

Warriors at a guess.

Backs
Hohaia
Locke
Tupou
Vatuvei
Ropati
Inu
Moon
Maloney
Seymour
John
Johnson

Forwards
Mannering
Rapira 1
Rapira 2
Mateo

Heremaia
Mara
Latimore
Lillyman
Matulino
Louisi
Brown
Taylor

Players contracted outside top 25
Poching
Fisiahi
Gavet
Penehe

Any of those players could force their way into the final 25 with a good preseason (if they aren't already considered in the top 25)

[grouch]

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.

1. Josh Dugan
2. Joel Monaghan
3. Jarrod Croker
4. Blake Ferguson
5. Daniel Vidot
6. Terry Campese

[DFC005]

[Monk]

Roosters:

1. Minichiello (2012)
2. Perrett (2012)
3. Kenny-Dowall (2011)

24. Jones (2012)
25. Carney (2011)

Kennedy will be in the starting 17.

 

[RWB]

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.

He'll start next year imo, clubs have been sniffing around for a long time now.

 

[Iafeta]

He could be the most underrated Kennedy since Bobby.

He's a good player, looks the goods.

 

[Deleted member 10972]

Regardless, I don't see both Ryles and Conn at the club beyond 2011. As solid as they are, they won't hold back the young kids coming through.

yea pretty amazing.. and most of the stronger sides got abit weaker.. yet the Tigers stay the same.. they are looking good for a shot at the title next season if they stay healthy.

 

[Big Pete]

Not entirely true.

They did 'lose' Daniel Fitzhenry and David Gower.
