[Dragon Revival]

I agree with your team Possum. If that team played we would not have the blues emotionally.

 

[Ted bartolo]

Aitkin has to in the side..For me on the bench.nightingale definitely a better winger even if he has slowed a little He is a champion. Side is close to what I would pick

I would play a specialist winger rather than Aitken

Garrick may be worth a run during the pre-season

 

[the lame dragon 48]

just a thought re the selections has dufty any halves experience seems to me 5/8 might also be a good fit for the boy as well any thoughts on the matter from you guys

spot on mate. but McGregor will most probably play duges at fb

 

[Buz-V]

Looking at our coach he will play it safe no doubt.
My guess will be:

1 Dugan
2 Macdonald
3 Aitken
4 Milne
5 Nightingale
6 Widdop
7 McCrone
8 Vaughan
9 Mcinnes
10 Packer
11 Frizell
12 Thompson
13 Sims

14 Havili
15 De Belin
16 Leilua
17 Masoe/Ah Mau

Its pretty solid except 6 and 7. Geez it needs a freshen up. Comon Hunt!

[the lame dragon 48]

you idiot packer number 8 and mosoe if hes ready on the bench sorry guys

 

[Old Timer]

Honestly all the wraps on Dufty are due to his last 2 years at FB.
He has numbers mortals can only dream of and people want to come up with some cock eyed idea that he will make a good 5/8 or 7.
We just bought a top line 7 and there a big wraps on Filed as a 5/8 and in the meantime lots in here lament the lack of attack from the back of the field.
The only question for the club re Dufty is it this year or next year at FB.
Sides get cocked up and careers often ruined by people making arbitrary decisions and playing people out of position ala Benji.
Good centres can become good wingers at a pinch but it's not always the case and a few superstars after some NRL experience can transition in other positions (Lockyer, Inglis) but for the time being lets leave Dufty to what he does best and that is weave magic from full back and let's be a little patient as his time is not that far away.

 

[Ted bartolo]

Dufty played in the halfs before he played fullback.Its the matter getting the best players on the paddock. Think widdop would be better at fullback.I think we need experiment early in the year especially in the halfs.

He was moved from the halves to FB so there must have been a reason for that.
All his current rep footy (which is most significant) and all his accolades which have seen him granted an NRL contract have come as a FB and he says he wants to play FB.
Some people are hard of hearing.

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

Witn an overwhelming sense of déjà vu, the following list is my team for round one.

(I suspect it will be open to ridicule. If so, I'll live)

1. Dugan (vc)
2. MacDonald
3. Aitken
4. Milne
5. Nightingale
6. Mann
7. Widdop
13. DeBellin
12. Frizzell (c)
11. Sims
10. Packer
9. Havili
8. Host

14. Thompson
15. Leilula
16. Masoe (if fit)
17. The player whose name shall not be disclosed on this forum.

Exactly. He hasn't steered those teams around, hasn't had to do the kicking, hasn't had to do the creating. He has shown he is a fullback. Play him as such.

 

[BrissyRedV]

Upon reflection, my team would be at this stage knowing who we currently have available:
1. Dufty
2. Mann
3. Milne
4. Dugan
5. Flo
6. Widdop
7. McCrone
8. Packer
9. McInnes
10. LAM
11. Frizzell
12. Thompson
13. JDB
14. Havili
15. Vaughan
16. Sims
17. Host/Leilua

 

[Uplifting]

Ok I'll have a go, a bit of guess work though about the new players.

1) Dufty

2) MacDonald
3) Dugan
4) Milne
5) Mann

6) Widdop
7) Nona

8) Packer
9) McInnes
10) Vaughan
11) Frizzell
12) Sims
13) Leilua

Bench:
Masoe
Host
Kerr
Aitken

Would love to see Glymin or Thompson given a shot if there are injuries to our backline.

Spot on OT he is fb and will make it in the nrl as long as he is given time to settle in.
