Micky B in the 6?

[EWS]

I actually think that Kerr is older than Prince, but I could be wrong.

As for the centres, Im quite happy with Fitzhenry and Elford there, although with Senter and Mears likely leaving, Fitzhenry will probably find himself at hooker. Ide kept Halatau out of centre, and tell him that he has to earn his place as a second rower. He defends like a second rower. He comes up with lots of big hits, but is easily stood up on the outside.

Ide like to see our side next year as:

B Hodgson
R Miles (until Greally is ready)
[INSERT SIGNING HERE]
S Elford
P Richards
S Prince
K Kerr
J Skandalis
D Fitzhenry
[INSERT SIGNING HERE]
A Laffranchi
M O'Neill
B Galea

As for the bench, this is where Ide like to see our younger players given a chance. Ide put Payten here, but the other three spots should go to the younger players so they gradually make their way into first grade. Lima, Small, Gibbs, Marshall, Harrison, Farah, Halatau and Collis should be fighting for these spots. This means we just need to find a quality centre and a quality prop, and we will have a decent team next year.

Although I dont think any of this will happen. I think our young players will thrust into the starting lineup, and then put back in PL when they dont perform, leving us with the Buettners and Wilsons that we all dread to see in our side.

last year buettner was trying way too much to carry the attack and force things to happen..
with prince outside him as tigerpete said he will have someone outside him who knows what they are doing..
therefore all the pressure wont be on him to make the team do something in attack.. and he can share the responcibility..
looking forward to him running through a hole or two.. granted he might not be so fast anymore.. but hey we make one line break at least we'll be heading in the right direction..

i went out to campbelltown on sunday to watch the magpies lower grades and thought liam fulton dead set carved souths up ,he must have been unlucky not to get the call up in the number 6 jumper,maybe some of u guys that were there would have an opinion on this ,i was also impressed with the bloke in the crowd who took that miraculous catch of a ball being kicked out on a penalty one handed whilst flicking through the big league

I'm anticipating a Manly win. The side Sheens has named is a joke. If Wests win, it will be a dead set fluke in my opinion.
