Costigan signs

[Raider_69]

If Bickerstaff signs, where do we put them all?

Let's play a game. Pick your forward pack from the following players:

Troy Thompson
Michael Weyman
Dane Tilse
Lincoln Withers
Andrew Dunemann
Thom Learoyd-Lahrs
Scott Logan
Josh Miller
Alan Tongue
Glen Turner
Neville Costigan
Matt Bickerstaff
Marshall Chalk
Alan Rothery
Willie Raston
Ryan Hinchcliffe
Ben Jones

:crazy:

easy as!

8.Thompson
9. Withers
10. Tilse
11. Miller (since tommy is out to start the season)
12. Costigan
13. Tongue

14. Weyman
15. Thurling
16. Logan (Miller to the bench, TLL to start when back)
17. Zillman

With Turner, Jahler, Rothery and Bickerstaff next cabs off the ranks in the back row
Plenty of front row options, Miller, Logan, Raston, Weyman, Thurling, Thompson and Tilse can/do all play there
Hinchcliffe in the back up rake or lock possy, with Campo also offering an option at lock, and dunemann - left right out

That depth chart looks even better when you consider Skeepe forgot Thurling, Kahler and maybe Lomu. Its almost crazy.
My pack would be the same as R69's, although I am hoping Raston can aim up next year.

 

[skeepe]

Thurling! Of course! How stupid of me.

Let's see.

8. Logan
9. Withers
10. Thompson
11. Learoyd-Lahrs
12. Costigan
13. Tongue

14. Miller
15. Weyman
16. Tilse
17. Thurling

Seems to be a pattern emerging here.

 

[Raider_69]

virtually the same team as mine skeepe
except ive catered for tommy being out to start the season which opens up a bench spot for zilly (assuming he isnt our starting 5/8th which isnt out of the question)

 

[skeepe]

1. Bronx Goodwin
2. Colin Best
3. Phil Graham
4. Marshall Chalk
5. David Howell
6. William Zillman
7. Todd Carney
8. Scott Logan
9. Lincoln Withers
10. Troy Thompson
11. Thom Learoyd-Lahrs
12. Neville Costigan
13. Alan Tongue (c)

14. Josh Miller
15. Michael Weyman
16. Dane Tilse
17. Trevor Thurling

I like it a lot.

14. Josh Miller

[dubby]

Not enough backs, and I'm concerned over the 1

 

[Raider_69]

opps i forgot dobson

 

[paulquinn49]

I still dont think Chalk has done enough to keep a bench spot, let alone start in the backs next year.

 

[Bay56]

Not enough backs, and I'm concerned over the 1

agree dubster but nontheless management must be congratulated on the signing of Costigan

 

[raiders fan forever]

totally agree with that mate

 

[thickos]

Best young pack in the comp by a mile.

If Zillman is everything we hope him to be he will provide that x-factor to take us to the next level. Exciting times...

[raider1822]

Great hit up pack, but how many can run & offload? i.e Lance Thompson,
Pongia, Lazurus and Osbourne. Which is what we need.

 

[SOULS 04]

[legend]

Marshall Chalk
Colin Best
Phil Graham
David Howell
Craig Frawley
Todd Carney
Andrew Dunneman
Alan Tongue

Michael Weyman

[viking]

everyone seems to have forgot Lomu.

 

[Timbo]

Hmmm.

I'd go:

1-W.Zillman
2-D.Howell
3-C.Frawley
4-P.Graham
5-C.Best
6-T.Carney
7-A.Dunemann
8-D.Tilse
9-L.Withers
10-T.Thompson
11-N.Costigan
12-T.Learoyd-Lahrs
13-A.Tongue (c)

14-M.Chalk
15-J.Miller
16-M.Weyman
17-T.Thurling

---------

Every time I do one of those, it changes dramatically...We've got so many like players next season.

Tom LL and Tilse...

 

[sydraider]

1-B.Goodwin
2-M.Chalk
3-C.Frawley/ D. Howell (Frawley more than likely will sprain a fingernail)
4-P.Graham
5-C.Best
6-T.Carney
7-M.Dobson
8-D.Tilse
9-L.Withers
10-T.Thompson
11-N.Costigan

14-W.Zillman
15-J.Miller
16-M.Weyman
17-T.Thurling

Thats me for the start of 07. I cant see Zilly on the bench for long.
I hope Dunemann never cracks the 17 unless desperately needed, he can resume the roll left by one J. Van Dyjk in reggies.

sh*tload of depth in the forwards. I know I havent included Logan, will wait and see.
I am also interested in that B. Kelly we signed from the sharks, could be a bolter.

Excited about 07 and especially 08 and beyond.
