The team could go any number of ways and there will be plenty of competition for spots next year but i would really like to see this team given a go. Atleast in the trials anyway.
1. Moss- Has something we have lacked since Wesser left and thats pure speed. He is seriously quick. He is a try scoring freak(only have to look at his try to game ratio in the 20's). His support play is awesome and he can very much sniff out where to be at the right time, alas Nathan Merritt. He is just as safe as moylan and possess's the same ball playing skills.
2. Simmons- Safe, reliable, great defender who knows when to come in, great finisher and helps out with plenty of carries.
3. Whare
4. Roberts- Speed machine. He will need to bulk up, probably 4-6kgs and spend the off season working on his defence. But he could be devastating.
5. K. Naquiama- Speed machine. Spend the off season with simmo teaching him how to defend as a winger. His attack will take care of itself.
6. Austin- (Firstly let me just say I know we have plenty of options here which is good. Coote, moylan, John will all be around the team) I would really like to see Blake get first crack. Imo he is our john sutton, Trent barret, Fittler or Terry Campese. He isnt as big as many people think. Yes he will bulk up more as he ages but he will never be a huge backrower. He has a good kicking and passing game but his strength like Sutton is his running game. Against the Vulcans in NZ this year he scored a try that really grabbed me. 12m out he gets it at 1st receiver dummies and fended of one then over powered 2 of the Vulcans BIG boys to get over and score. His playmaking skills create that indecision in the defenses mind and you would back him 99% of the time 1 on 1.
7. Soward- I think he will be our Adam reynolds. Great Kicking game, quick, great passing game and a fierce competitor. I think Him and Blake together would be a perfect combo and that they would complement each others styles and strengths. Soward and either Coote, John or moylan are to alike.
8. Sammy
9. Segayaro
10. Timmy- Give hime the captaincy, hopefully it fires him up.
11. Brown
12. Manu- To move to front row throughout game.
13. Taylor- He will be great for us, he is all class. 80min player.
Bench- (could go a number of ways but id go)
14. Peachey- To play the role segayaro is playing this year, he is strong for his size is quick and skillful
15. Plum- to play prop
16. Cartwright- future superstar as we all know.
17. Cherrington- Really deserves a crack. Has been a standout all year for the wolves. Great offload, good speed, strong and a good defender. He could be a very damaging benchie.
Players such as Docker, Coote, Moylan, John, Nabuli, Mansour, Kite, VTK, Latimore, Kingston, Tighe as well as the others to push for a fg spot as well.
DWZ is the smokey imo. He will be training with the full time squad and I dare say it wont be long till we see this kid in fg. He is that good you just cant hold him back. Look at RTS for the roosters. Debuting at 18 hasnt hurt him. DWZ is the most exciting prospect i can remember coming through the grades in a long long time. He could be anything.
Exciting times ahead anyway.
