[nontime111]

From what Ive seen my Round 1 line up would be; (not that I know anything... just EXCITED for the first time in YEARS about the Dragons line up this year!)

Mann
Nights
Aitken
Duges
Matta
Widdy
Benji
Leeson
Havili
Packer
Thompson
Frizz
Jack

Cooper
Creagh
Ikahihifo
Rein

with MILNE getting a look in as soon as possible re injury in the backline.....

 

[dragon thomo]

i would be happy with that side for round 1, but i think he will start with rein

 

[Country Dragon]

I think it is more the suggestion of Mann to half and Benji to bench and fill in hooker....

Thank you!

Frizz most likely will not be ready for round 1. Expect Matthews to fill his slot

That's a good side nontime. I agree with dragon thomo as much as I don't want rein in my starting line up Mary will have him there. The best signing is Mann. He is going to surprise a lot of people. He reminds me of Darius Boyd the way he plays. He will score plenty of tries. Bring on 2016 can't wait !

 

[Highland Saint]

Articles keep listing Milne as a centre. Has he played much on or does he have the attributes for the wing?

 

[Kuro]

Definitely. JDB is highly underrated. He averaged around 100m a game along with 40 tackles last season from around 55 minutes a game. If you're into the fantasy nrl side of things his ppm was sensational. Cooper should be part of the prop rotation with LAH, Packer, Creagh, Ikahififo and Lui.

It should be LAM btw.

And on that note, new banner..

"Mary has a little LAM"

Whose in?!

:lol:

Played centre in NYC and for the junior kiwis in the same position. Has pace so could definitely be an option for the wing. Looks quite solid to.

 

[Saints Forever]

Milne is a Centre, but has all the attributes to play wing. Has a very good pair of hands.

Mate having only seen him play once in a trial at centre, he has that position written all over him... strong and elusive.....wing not sure....imo would be wasted in that spot...bit like Coops started on the wing but as you know centre was his place

Hahaha all about the Bunnies and their under strength team. Lets be honest, 6 of their players that are out this week would make their team for round one. We have 5 players out who would have been in our round 1 team. Its a trial and even if we win by 50 or lose by 50 couldn't care less. Lets hope for no injuries on both sides and a nice open game. Good weather will be nice as well.

It's 8.

GI
AJ
Reyno
Sam
Tom
George
Grevsmuhl
Tyrrell

 

[Rabbits20]

Souths pack is their strength and they have

Tyrell
Sam Burgess
George Burgess
Tom Burgess
Grevsmulh
Plus Reynolds Johnson and GI.

These players are irreplaceable and make up eight of their starting 13.

Correct. Take 5 Dragons forwards out and you guys would struggle too. Eg: take out Cooper and Packer too. Take Lafai out too. All of a sudden your team looks thin.


That's most of our cap too actually. That would be about 3.5 million of our cap.

Our losses hurt more than your losses.

At least it's only a trial.

Enjoy the win.

Actually, I still honestly don't think we would be hurting as much. Mata'utia would would move into the centres, KFFL onto the wing. Creagh elevated to the starting side with McCarthy, ikahififo and lui onto the bench. We have a well balanced team and salary cap with plenty of depth.

We had the same issues you guys will experience this year last year and that is team balance and a lack of 1st grade depth. You guys just need to hope you have no injuries this year especially to Sam burgess or you guys will be in a world of hurt. I almost feel sorry for you guys. Almost.

Fai Fai Loa is ordinary imo. Kiti Glymin is better.

McCarthy is a youngster. Souths have Musgrove who has lots of potential too.

You guys are better off a bit more than us I guess depthwise.

But that's as Souths have more superstars that the cap is spent on and you guys have more solid guys.

Souths can afford injuries to solid players just not our superstars. Young guys would fit in well if needed with the quality guys.

This week we are missing pretty much all of our superstars.

Should be a good game regardless alien.

Well your missing 2 superstars in Inglis and Surgess. I wouldn't consider anyone else on that list as a "superstar". Maybe Reynolds can be included as a star but the rest are solid 1st graders. In our eyes we are missing 2 of our most important stars in Widdop and Dugan.

McCarthy is actually a little older 28 I think? From the super league. KFFL may be ordinary but provides depth. Kiti Glymin is injured as well. We could go Milne to I suppose. Very talented young guy.

Hey mate, it's R20.
