i hear nothing but good things about that Sonny Bill Williams....

 

[Moffo]

Sonny will play a fair bit of grade this year hopefully

Cheers,
Moffo

 

[~doggie~diva~]

Sonny's a machine!!!

 

[JessEel]

saw him once or twice when i was watching like, SGBall and Flegg, but its scary to think what he'll do in first grade............ *shudders*

 

[Shifty]

Willie Tonga will hopefully emulate the feats of his Junior Kangaroo centre partner Ben Harris and establish himself in the side quickly.

Andrew Ryan was the most improved player in 2003 and if he can countinue that form will be hard for the opposition to contain. Thurston, O'Meley, Mason and Anasta all have to improve on last year for the team to thrive.

Sonny Bill makes me shiver.. the hits he puts on are ground shaking..

I expect Asotasi to step up a level 2.. this guy is something special.

I cant wait 2 see Hutch in first grade 2.. he is awesome

i like your thinking!!
IMO all Willie and Bobcat needed was a better coach, and, from what i hear, Steve Folkes is one of the best so watch out for them to have blinders. Good luck to em i say, someone has to teach BS a lesson!!

WIllie Tonga is in the Chris walker class of defenders, so he needs to fix that up.

 

[MadDogMason]

Yer im sure he wil

 

[RifRaf]

Not a bad line up considering the players you've lost... I look forward to a few avatar bets throughout the season (Dogs you looked so pretty in the Tigers Av last year).....

 

[Agent Mulder]

Im looking forward to seeing Willie Tonga as i feel he should fit in at Canterbury.
Also looking forward to seeing Sonny Bill Williams as i feel he is a gun and have huge wraps on.

Luke O'Dwyer and Sonny Bill could be fighting out the Rookie of the year.

I demand a rematch! Round 11 & Round 20. 1 week you have to wear whatever avatar the other makes you. I choo choo choose the Bulldogs one (you can have the spiffy new one).

Good squad, should go well.

Not trolling just a few questions.

I was wondering why The Dogs have a squad of 24???
I thought the top squad was supposed to be 25???
Did you guys also have a squad of 24 last year???

I agree though, good squad, should go well!!
Thanks
