Warriors 2002

1: Ivan Cleary/Motu Tony
2: Henry Faafili
3: Jonah Lomu??? (but more realistically, Wairangi Koopu)
4: Clinton Toopi
5: Francis Meli
6: P J Marsh/Motu Tony
7: Stacey Jones
8: Iafeta Paalea'asina
9: Monty Betham
10: Jerry Seu Seu
11: Logan Swann
12: Ali Lauti'iti/Awen Guttenbeil (Ali goes back to second row due to our depth at prop but would move to prop if needed to cover injuries)
13: Kevin Campion

Reserves:
14: Justin Morgan
15: Richard Villisanti
16: Ali Lauti'iti/Awen Guttenbeil
17: P J Marsh/Motu Tony
Shontayne Hape

Mark Tookey
David Myles
Justin Murphy
Cheyenne Motu
Lance Hohaia
Channereth Ly
Richard Utai
Anthony Seu Seu
Nathan Wood??

Starting to look like a decent side I reckon, although we're still looking for that class centre. I've actually named 27 players, but I'm not sure if Wood will be there, and I'd say only a couple of the last five locals listed will actually get contracts. We're starting do develop a bit of depth, especially at prop/second row and in the halves, and that will just get better if guys like Motu, Hohaia, Ly and Utai follow the example set by Tony and Paalea'asina this season.

Positions for those reserves for those who're interested:

Shontayne Hape (centre)
Mark Tookey (prop)
David Myles (centre)
Justin Murphy (wing/fullback, ex Bulldogs)
Cheyenne Motu (hooker/lock)
Lance Hohaia (hooker/lock)
Channereth Ly (half)
Richard Utai (centre (he's the guy with the afro in the Warriors promo cartoon with Stace and Cleary))
Anthony Seu Seu (prop/second row, Jerry's brother)

Taxi Driver:
You have Timmins in the 2nd row on the Saints team.
I think he has to be at lock or centre but I can see we have a shortage of 2nd rowers next year. There must another solution.
Personally I want Smith it the front row but it looks like it ain't gunna be the case.

2002:
SaintDoc, I like the team but IMO, Timmins should not be subjected into the 2nd row.
I haven't added the bench. This is my St George team 13.
Roberts
Blacklock
Timmins
Gasnier
Hookey
Barrett
Kerr
Hooper
Cooper
Thompson
Ryles
Riddell
Bailey

Just a swap but Timmins will be more valuable defending wide.
IMO Cooper must be in the side I can't understand why he is still in 1st division.
