What does everyone think would be the full strength line-up for Premier League this year?

Where do you think they will finish?

How do you think the Jim Beam Cup side will go?

Who will be the key players in each side?

Here is a possible Premier League line up. I have based it on the Nrl squad having an 18-man squad that I have also listed for reference.

Tell me your thoughts.

Newtown Jets:
1. Aiden Kirk
2. Michael Lett
3. Vince Mellars
4. Lelea Paea

Pangai will not stay on the bench long if he DOES start there.

Pangai will not stay on the bench long if he DOES start there.

Do you think he can break in front of Lett, Mellars, Paea or Perrett?

Newtown have a very strong backline.

 

[brook]

honestly if he puts his head down and works at it yeah I do.

The kids got a bit future ahead of him, I can't think of many in the game with more talent and over the last couple of years he's really started to find some consistancy too.

I *think* he still scrapes into the cut-off for flegg so if it did come down to it they'd probably be better off playing him in the starting side in easts flegg rather than on the bench in PL

There were some pretty good players there for Newtown. Lots of depth. They should have a good year.

Thanks GIRVIE, your a legend cobber !!

Thats a good looking side. Have heard EDMONDSON is still injured, will be interested to see if he plays. Shame no SOWARD in the team, but it looks pretty strong on paper.....

good luck to your Bears this weekend mate, hope they go well.....

 

[2 True Blues]

Bluebags are still undefeated at Henson Park. Think we lost only one game all season at Henson Park last year ( beating grandfinalists Roosters and Parra in 2005 also at home ), and now go into 2006 winning two home games from two. Promising stuff and really good for the local fans.....

 

[2 True Blues]

Still undefeated at Henson !!!!!! Jets beat the berries 40 to 22, however they scored a late try as were on 16.............Have a BYE next week so the top 4 should be ours !!!!!

Lost Jim Beam Cup though. 28 to 16 !!!!

 

[Crusher]

JETS for NRL!!!

Is the bye this weekend???

 

[2 True Blues]

Yeah Jets have the BYE. The first of the season for them whereas all other teams in the top eight have already had one I think, with one of the teams in the top three actually having already haven two. The BYE should be well timed for injuries as there are still numerous injuries in the Roosters NRL side and many of the reserve players playing first grade as a result.

So the bye should see us in about 4 th place by memory, however technically third......

 

[Nikki]

Damn. Was gunna be my weekend to come out and catch Heath L'Estrange as its his 21st this weekend..

 

[2 True Blues]

Well he timed that well. And he is probably pretty well hung over as we speak....LOL.......

Jets play Souths at Henson next Saturday at 3pm......

 

[Nikki]

I missed a weekend. Its his 21st this weekend (21/5) but he has been named on the bench for the Roosters. For once I hope Sticky drops him again then I can head out to Henso.

 

[newtownbluebags]

Jets play Souths at Henson next Saturday at 3pm......

It's going to be a top afternoon from 1.15pm on 2TB! Jim Beam & Premier League

JETS TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[2 True Blues]

Am counting down the minutes mate. Two ORIGINAL sides playing on the sacred soil that is good old HENSON.

Could not buy a better day out for a couple of bucks if you tried !!!

Love seeing those two old traditional jerseys do battle at HENSON.....Bring it on brother !!!!

The Jets Beam game at 1.15pm should be good as well. I can't wait mate !!!!

 

[newtownbluebags]

[2 True Blues]

Maybe just one Garlo's mate. Have to leave plenty of room for the KB's and get the priorities right ....LMAO......
