I warn you that this is a very optimistic thread (Karmawave there is no need to post here 
)
The general feeling I get from knights fans on here is that 2010 will be a season of unknowns. Will the team make the top 4? Will the team scrape into the 8? Will we end up near the lower end of the table? 2010 atm is a season of uncertainty. But what would happen if everything clicked for us? Below is a very optimistic stance, but how good would it be if it worked out!
1. Gidley - recaptures his 2008 form
2. Mcmanus - recaptures his form just before injury. He was killing it in regards to making tough meters and being incredibly safe against the kick.
3. Sau - Continues playing his lethal running game, but is now able to set up his winger with an offload or pass.
4. Macdougall - Plays just like he did last season, except receives more ball. (Sorry Alex, I know you wanted Doogs to retire after last year)
5. Vuna - Becomes consistent with his big hits and damaging runs.
6. Mullen - Goes from inconsistent, to playing his good games on a weekly basis.
7. Dureau - Plays in the Cooper Cronk mould, letting Mullen play a 5/8 role whilst dureau does the organising and adds polish to the team with a consistently strong kicking game.
8. Tuimavave - Him and Cross could make us very dangerous during the first 25 minutes of matches.
9. Degoise - Improves his consistency and continues his good dummy half running.
10. Cross - Doesn't get injured and is the forward leader that we know he is capable of.
11. Simpson - Strings games together and plays near what we know he is capable of when fit.
12. Taia - Continues his 09 form
13. Paterson - He has shaken off the baby fat and has the build for a quality lock or 2nd rower. If he improves his workrate then WATCH OUT!
14. Taufua - His running game improved from 08 to 09. If it improves again, combined with his great defence he will be an asset.
15. Tolar - Turns back the clock to the days when he had a quality and regular offload, whilst continuing to offer plenty of mobility in defence.
16. Fa'aoso - Plays like he did in 09 and continues to improve his handling. His offloads in 2010 could also be a big plus
17. Hilder - When he comes on will make plenty of tackles allowing the other forwards to be fresher in attack. His attack improves and becomes more of a ball playing lock. He also covers for injuries in the backline.
