Lowrie is another Mannering....needs to come off bench and nothing more.
How the hell will they pronounce his name?

So, 2012 is farked. May as well get some early predictions in and see if we get near the mark. Pointless exercise, but so is watching the remainder of our games - and I will still do that :lol:
1 Locke
2 Nielsen (teaching Hurrell how to defend)
3 Hurrell
4 Ropati (I expect him to be fit, and we need his experience. Hate if you want - I don't care )
5 Vatuvei / our best young winger / new winger. SRSLY, just sign one damn it!!!
6 Leuluai
7 Johnson
8 Package
9 Friend
10 Matulino
11 Mannering
12 Martel
13 Lowrie
14 Tuimavavae (to come on for Leuluai or Friend or Ropati when he breaks - roving playmaker type role - hell, he could even come on in the second row... he's big enough)
15 Rapira
16 Lillyman
17 Vatuvei (our new impact forward) / Lousi / Ikahihifo / Benry
...however, this will change. I am certain we will sign at least 1 more experienced player, and we may well release 1 or 2...
I have a feeling Thomas Leuluai will get a lot of gametime at hooker next season - based on Nathan Friend's propensity for injury.
The team I would like to see is;
1- Locke
2- Fisiiahi (although I have every reason to believe it will be Tupou)
3- Nielsen
4- Hurrell
5- Vatuvei
6- Leuluai
7- Johnson
8- Matulino
9- Friend
10- Packer
11- Mateo
12- Mannering
13- Lowrie
Res- Lillyman, Sam Rapira, Sam Lousi, Sione Lousi/Sam Rapira
Who needs him at hooker when we have Mara?
However I do like the idea of Martel at #6, although this will mean that Johnson will bear the full brunt of our kicking game.
