I have a feeling John Sutton is going to have a big year the only question is

Barring injuries Maitua WILL be NSW #13.

Yes you are right, if Dean Young IS injured Maitua will be NSW #13

...who gives a sh*t?

:lol:

as we know, sutton can play a variety of positions, which is an advantage especially when it comes to rep selections, since the retirement of bk, sutton is a contender with paul gallen. and he can play five eighth and centre, depending on how nsw use gasnier and jamie lyon, five eighth is highly contested, with todd carney, jarrod mullen, sutton, anasta, finch etc in the running, and centre has gaz cooper lyon etc, so if sutton had a chance id say it would be lock or off the bench

He will not be the lock, Reni Maitua has that spot for sure.

Maitua will get the the number 13 position ahead of Dean young who will probably be used as a hooker on the bench or a backup in the 2nd row. Maitia, NSW #13.

Braith Anasta at the Bulldogs

Hmm...something tells me it might be their destination buddy.

Very good point you make there. :lol:

Dean Young will hardly (IMO) play hooker at all this season, since Simon Woolford signed. Young is a Lock everyday of the week.

Young’s work rate compared to Maitua’s is incomparable, Young is a better ball player then Maitua and Young is a better defender then Maitua.

It’s not a bash on Maitua as he is a good player, but take off your blue and white Bulldog glasses and become a realist.

Dean Young, Lock for NSW in 2007.

 

[gorilla with a shotgun]

you say he is good enough, fair enough but do you honestly believe he is better than the other options there?


leave the bias at the door.

If Kurt Gidley can make it in the country origin team........

Reni Maitua has that spot for sure.

i hope not

Has everyone forgotten Luke O'Donnell for some crazy reason?

11. Nathan Hindmarsh
12. Luke O'Donnell
13. Dean Young

That would be my ideal backrow for SoO I

 

[icewind]

They must have him in the second row with Hindmarsh and Mason as a prop again. Surely.

 

[nqboy]

I think LOD is considered as more of a second rower rather than lock, though I'm not entirely sure there much difference in the roles these days.

and Paul Gallen

 

[Inferno]

The back row for NSW has plenty of options. Hindmarsh and O'Donnel are basically walk up starts, so that leaves 2 maybe 3 spots, so Young will be fighting it out with Gallen, Hoffman, Ryan, Matuia and Simpson.

Personally I don't rate Young ahead of any of those guys.

 

[Phillips]

Andrew Ryan shouldnt be anywhere near the nsw lineup..

 

[The Camden Leisure Pirate]

Willie Mason plays his best in the back-row.

 

[gorilla with a shotgun]

i rate matuia higher than young but i would give matuia the numba 17 and play odonnel or gallen at lock

 

[Goldthorpe]

i rate matuia higher than young

PREDICTIONS 2007
- Roosters for Wooden spoon
- Raiders to make 8

Sums up your intelligence!

 

[TheManOnTheGrassyKnoll]

Hahahaha. John Sutton and rep footy. Someone is taking the p155. If they consider Sutton I also hope they consider Fitzhenry, O'Hara, El Masri, Monaghan, Jason King, Chris Paterson and Brett Pomeroy. What a woeful woeful player.
