So how do people see the team shaping for next year? I was having a quick look at the 2014 players and for the first time in a long time there is some genuine competition for every position across the field.
The big question I have is do we go for all out size in the pack or do we show loyalty to smaller guys like Fulton and to a lesser extent Halatau? I think we can put a fairly big pack on the field in 2014 so does Fulton, as good as he is, hold his spot? My initial views are we go for size.
With the depth we have some players are going to miss out. I can see we will have some real speed in the back in 2014 so again, places will be hard to get. Simona is out for a while so who will play in the centres?
I think 5/8 is the biggest question mark. Our spine will no doubt include Farah, Brooks and Tedesco. So who do you see at 5/8 and why? My initial thoughts are Austin, he can kick goals, has size and he seems to have a good footy brain. I think he can develop with this team in 2014.
As I say, there are some good players who are going to be on the fringe and that always frightens me as they can get picked off by other teams when they get frustrated not being in the top team.
Any thoughts? Might be a good topic of conversation/argument leading up to Christmas.....:roll:
