Eagles 2005 Squad? Your Choice

[lodown]

What would you like to see as your Eagles 2005 squad (only include current contracted players, new signing and players we are yet to resign, i.e. no Tahu or Monas yet ;-) )

1. Brett Stewart
2. Scott Donald
3. Anthony Watmough
4. Chris Hicks
5. John Hopoate
6. Andrew Walker
7. Michael Monaghan
8. Daniel Heckenberg
9. Chad Randall
10. Brent Kite
11. Sam Harris
12. Ben Kennedy
13. Steve Menzies

14. Luke Williamson
15. Kylie Leuluai
16. Jason King
17. Shayne Dunley

18. Jeff Robson
19. Ian Donnelly
20. Soloman Haumono
21. Nathan Tutt
22. Kane Cleal
23. Albert Torrens

- Would like to see Watmough make the move out to the Centers, which at the moment we are lacking.

- Also would like to see Hopoate resigned for another year or so, even with all the crap he has done, you cant deny the team lifts when he is out there.

- Would like to see Chad Randall and Shane Dunley play a similar role that seems to work great for the Dragons (Riddell and Withers) and the Sharks (Hilder and Sully), with Dunley having an impact off the bench.

What would your squad look like, and what changes would you like made with the players currently available.

I'd like to see the Club buy a New Backline :lol: .

Watmough is simply awesome in the Number 11. I reckon he's got a mortgage on it for the rest of his days.

 

[lodown]

yeah he is, but i wouldn't like to see watmough, harris, menzies or kennedy starting off the bench.

hopefully Dessie wont push Menzies out to centers again next season

Thats not a bad team

Add Paul Whatuira, Timana Tahu and Joe Williams(backup half) to that and you're spot on.

 

[t-ba]

With Players Bought (Including possibles) in Italics

1-Brett Stewart (This Kid'll explode with an Injury free offseason)
2-Scott Donald (Stay Damn you!)
3-Timana Tahu (I'm not sold on him, and I'm not sure he's a centre. Damn Rooters!)
4-Paul Whatuira (Solid player)
5-Chris Hicks (His best Position!)
6-Andrew Walker (Grooming Williams and Robson will be his job)
7-Mick Monaghan (Looked good before his injury. Defends better than Robson and Mullane)
8-Jason King (Emerging SoO Squad Member before injuries got the better of him)
9-Chad Randall (Training Injury free :roll: )
10-Brent Kite (Good buy. If it weren't for the sign on fee we'd be paying overs)
11-Anthony Watmough (Hand the Man a city Jersey. Our Best player this year)
12-Ben Kennedy (To teach G.Stewart, Moorewood, Watmough, Harris agression and pride!)
13-Steve Menzies (To teach the Above Perfect tackling Techniques)

14-Solomon Haumono (Better off the Bench)
15-Daniel heckenberg (He's earnt it. Unlike the Rest of the forwards...)
16-Sam Harris (Sorry, Choc is the better player)
17-Luke Williamson (No need for Dunley when a fully fit chad plays 80 minutes. can cover 3,4,6,7,9,11,12,13 with ease and aplomb)

18-Joe Williams :badgrin:
19-Shayne Dunley
20-Ian Donnelly
21-Kylie Leuleui
22-Glenn Stewart
23-Nick Paterson
24-Darren Peachey
25-Rob Toshak

 

[Mayor_Quimby]

my ideal team for next year:

1.Stewart
2.Donald
3.Monaghan
4.Whatuira
5. Hicks
6. Walker
7. Monaghan
8. King
9. Randall
10. Kite
11. Harris
12. Kennedy
13. Menzies

14. Haumono
15. Watmough
16. Heckenberg
17. Dunley

To get a taste of 1st grade:

Joe Williams
Glenn Stuart
Darren Peachy

 

[Disco]

T-Ba, id switch Tahu and Whaturia, having Tahu and Donald on one side would be a defensive nightmare
Therefore team Donald wirth Whaturia and Hicks with Tahu

 

[MoJack]

how do you guys rate darren peachy do you think he is up to first grade level

Also how has he been going in premier league i havent been able to get out to many games ?

Cheers

T-Ba, id switch Tahu and Whaturia, having Tahu and Donald on one side would be a defensive nightmare
Therefore team Donald wirth Whaturia and Hicks with Tahu

My main concern is that Whatuira has the Creative abilities of a pot plant. I suppose with Chad back it won't matter because he'll be creating most of Donalds opportunities, but yeah, Tahu-Donald would be defensively woeful. Hopefully we're still in with a Shot Monas' signature :roll: .

 

[Disco]

I don't think Whaturia is that bad creatively, certianly better than what we currently have next to Donald (Torrens)

 

[Langers]

1. Brett Stewart
2. Scott Donald
3. Paul Whatuira
4. Timana Tahu
5. Chris Hicks
6. Andrew Walker
7. Michael Monaghan
8. Brent Kite
9. Chad Randall
10. Jason King
11. Ben Kennedy (c)
12. Anthony Watmough
13. Steve Menzies

14. Daniel Heckenberg
15. Luke Williamson
16. Sam Harris
17. Shayne Dunley/Kylie Leuluai

If we get Joe Williams I would put him in premier league. Walker and Monaghan are both great halves and Williams defence is poor to say the least at this stage. Even though Monoghan can play 5/8 his talent is better utilised in the more important halfback role.

 

[rock_on_knights]

i dont think tahus that great @ a center................sure hes a fantastic wing..... if he DOES move 2 u....lets c how it does it wihtout gidley eyy

 

[Phillips]

1. Stewart
2. Donald
3. Watmough
4. Lennon (can he play centre :? )
5. Hicks
6. Walker
7. Monaghan
8. Kite
9. Randall
10. Haumono
11. Harris
12. Kennedy
13. Menzies (C)

14. Leuluai
15. Dunley
16. Heckenberg
17. King

didn't include Tahu....hopefully he will do the right thing and come to parra ;-)

 

[CC_Eagle]

Rumor has it that Manly are currently in the progress of configuring the payroll to account for the signings of both Mona's and Tahu. The only way I can see this happening is if either Donald or Hoppa is released. Both have their pro's and con's which we're all aware of so I wont bring them up. I HOPE our side looks something like this.

1 . Stewart
2. Donald/Hicks
3. Tahu
4. J.Monaghan/Hicks
5. Hopoate/ Donald
6. Walker
7. M. Monaghan
8. King/ Heckenberg
9. Randall
10. Kite
11. Watmough
12. Menzies
13. Kennedy

14. Leuluai/ Heckenberg/ King
15. Dunley
16. Harris
17. Williamson

and our PL side to look something like this

1. Lennon
2. Peachey
3. Nick Bradley
4. Mullane/ Jarrod Taylor
5. Creary
6. Cherry
7. Robson
8. Donnelly
9. Hollingsworth
10. Haumono
11. Moorewood
12. Tutt
13. G. Stewart

14. Rennie
15. Patterson
16. Macey
17. Stephenson

I believe that will be the strongest side in terms of depth that we have had in a long time.
