25 man squads

[Stagger eel]

I'm pretty sure that Peewee Moke has signed with Penrith.

the name Peewee Moke has nothing on Cooper Cronk... it just rolls off the tongue, the alliteration is tops!
easily the best name in the comp, is young cooper cronk.

I've gotta agree there, i think Cooper's still holds the title although Peewee Moke is a worthy contender. Maybe if it was Peewee Poke he may've pipped him but i reckon i'll stick with Coop on this one.

Peewee Moke played a couple of years in the roosters juniors and had massive wraps on him.
Saw him play a couple of times and he really looked the goods.
Went to the Sharkies for the last two seasons i think, and hasn't really kicked.
Suprised the sharks let him go though, will be a good buy for the panthers if he puts his mind to it.
Fairly big boy, was playing in the backs in the juniors, good turn of speed too.
One game i saw him play for the roosters, he was unstoppable making busts on almost every time he touched the ball.

Only had 1 year with us I think.

Heard, but can't confirm the reason he left was that Sticky, didn't rate him at the roosters so he was unlikely to be rated with us. Wish all the best to him.

i wouldnt say the dragons have the best experience but the following players would probaly make any teams 17 in the whole NRL:
Dean Young
Ashton Sims
Jason Ryles
Justin Poore
Wes Naiqama
Brett Morris
Luke MacDougall
Ben Hornby
Matt Head
Mark Gasnier
Ben Creagh
Matt Cooper

 

[greenhat]

I remember reading an interview with, I think, Matt King
where the interviewer asked about cooper cronk having the best name in the NRL
and matt king (?) responded something like 'Yea, Cooper tells us that all the time'

I couldn't see many making the Broncos team, maybe cooper ( wing ), gasnier and head, that would be it.

Surely you jest? A few of them may make it into any teams 17, few being the operative word. I'll even give you that maybe even alot of them on that list would make it into many of the other teams 17. But to say all of them would make it into any teams 17 is just crazy talk :crazy:

 

[Kiwi]

And of course Daza, if they are so good, please do enlighten us as to why these players you say would make every other teams top 17 haven't won squat in how long?

if a team doesnt have a great coach it is never easy to win the comp. I just dont think that Brown has what it takes to win the NRL premiership even though i hope he proves me wrong this year. Not all those players would make every teams 17, kind of silly comment but when in form those players are up to making representative sides and most of them are still very young

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Wests Tigers

Dean Collis
Robbie Farah
Daniel Fitzhenry
Stuart Flanagan
Liam Fulton
Ben Galea
Danny Galea
Keith Galloway
Bryce Gibbs
Dene Halatau
Luke Harlen
Bronson Harrison
Chris Heighington
Brett Hodgson (C)
Ben Jeffery
Benji Marshall
Shannon McDonnell
Tevita Metiusela
Jason Moodie
John Morris
Ryan O'Hara
Todd Payten
Rocky Trimarchi
Taniela Tuiaki
Paul Whatuira

We look a bit light on in the forwards, plenty of speed but not enough boppers. Hopefully the big red bloke will slip into a new gear this year.

And I hope Gibbsy has whacked on 10 kilos, if he's going to pick everyone in the NRL he's going to need it.

 

[ocko]

john morris will be halfback?

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Looks likely Ocko, or maybe Benji at 7 with Morris at 6.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Its not silly at all. I reckon its very close to the mark, with the exception of your mob and the broncos.

But thats beside the point, we've had top on-paper players for many seasons now. What we truly need now is the grit shown by the Dragons of the early to mid 90's who fought well out of their weight division.

 

[Stagger eel]

Looks likely Ocko, or maybe Benji at 7 with Morris at 6.

Tim Sheens basicaly confirmed that Morris will wear the 7 shirt this morning on the BSB.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Probably the sane option.

 

[innsaneink]

:-k Hmmm yes he did....referred to him as "our Cooper Cronk"...in that he has good skills and is sound defensively, he believes he'll go well.

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

well all morris has to do kick,defend and pass it too benji so im sure he will go ok at half
