My top 17 next year

[bartman]

I think in Round 1 2005, the supercoach will select a 19 man first grade squad, as follows:

1. McKinnon
2. Petersen/Grothe
3. Grothe/Graham
4. Tahu
5. Burt/Grothe
6. Morris
7. Witt
8. Cannings
9. Riddell
10. Cayless
11. Hindmarsh
12. Morrison
13. Wagon

14. Marsh
15. Vella
16. Widders
17. Robinson
18. Stringer/Tsoulos *forgot about Justin*
(19. Ashley Graham or Grothe or Petersen or Burt)

I think we're still one experienced centre/5-8 away from being a totally scary side!! Hopefully one of our young backs will develop well during the year. Otherwise there's good depth there and we should expect (again :roll: ) to be around top 4 all the way through....

On paper we have an awesome side, I havent included everyone either. Still Id love to see Burt in the 5 and put Grothe in the centres.

1. McKinnon
2. Petersen
3. Tahu
4. Burt
5. Grothe Jnr
6. Morris
7. Witt
8. Stringer
9. Riddell
10. Cayless

14. Marsh
15. Widders
16. Vella
17. Cannings

And I know I have missed some guys, on paper this is a very strong team.

Good size, good speed, good skills. Our back 3 forwards are all 80 minute players. Our hooker is one of the best in the game, our halves whilst not being the most talented, have great kicking games and with some work, can really gel. Our bench is full of impact. Like someone else said, there is no excuses.

I wouldn't change that team once, It's exactly my team.

 

[Stagger eel]

there are a couple of significant flaws in Grothes game to suggest he won't be a good centre.

passing and positional play.

It looks like a very similar team to the one that smashed Moanly at Brooky in 1997!!

 

[The Colonel]

If they brought them back from retirement and overseas I reckon they'd put 50 on Moanly still.

9. Riddell
