[Patorick]

Main thing is not fading away in the second half. That (and the injuries and suspensions) well and truly did us in last year.

Anyway, off-field stuff is worrying me more than anything at the moment.

No major sponsor, with kick-off only a few weeks away is embarassing and makes Lowe look like the George Costanza of CEOs.

Hope he can turn things round a bit.

Prediction: somewhere in the eight.

Of course Joe over Rodney haha, nah just guessing he might not be back for round 1.
Liam Foran, took a stab, could be half a dozen blokes on the bench.
DCE for club rookie of the year.
I love Tony Williams.

 

[APRIL BELLE]

DCE for club rookie of the year.
QUOTE]

Club Rookie - fair enough.
Is that restricted to players who debut in the year ?

 

[zombie jesus]

Yeah, don't think it could be anyone else at this stage, he's the only rookie we know will get a run, one of the young forwards could step up but I've got no idea what the pecking order is amongst that group.

 

[4legs]

i think jamie buhrer is the young forward that will step up, this kid has the step , the hard defence, a kicking game , can play anywere in the back row, right or left edge,

 

[Scarves]

Buhrer looks set for improvement, he's got ticker, now he needs to become a first grader.

Our back three is back to 2008 standard. Tony T Rex will provide some big bench impact. I reckon Choc will spring back to life in 2011 and have a watershed year. K Foran will come of age in 2011, I have massive faith in him. Ballin is set for his best season in the top grade after last seasons exposure. King and Kite have no excuses and don't want any.

If our classy centres avoid injury and suspension and out new half back lives up to the wraps, this year could be one to remember. $21 looks juicy.
