[Stizyler]

punter should be Lockyer, best drop out in the game.

 

[Cupid Stunt]

I was interested till I saw Jason "Tontine" Ryles. I'd be coming around that corner all damn game & the best part is it'd be towards Lockyers right arm!

Sack, blocked pass, sack, sack, sack, blocked pass... :Lol:

 

[Godz Illa]

Good luck CS. You'd be on your ass so many times you'd think it was Pancake Tuesday.

 

[Big Tim]

Danny Wicks for DT.... anyone see his standing backflip???

 

[dragonfire]

the thing that is surprising that the guys we consider big here dont compare to teh size of some of those guys in the NFL, crazy

 

[Philby]

Here is my Nrl team

Offense
QB: Darren Lockyer
WR: Israel Folou, Greg Inglis (Both have great hands, strength & speed)
RB: Greg Bird, Anthony Laffranchi (Both have a habit of busting tackles)
TE: Sonny Bill Williams (he is big, mobile & strong)
OT: Justin Tsoulus, Jarrod Hickey.
OG: Scott Logan, Jason Ryles
C: Ben Hannant

Defence
DE: Willie Mason, Tom Lehroy Lahrs (Spelling?????)
DT: Mick Weyman, Danny Wicks
MLB: Paul Gallen
OLB: Milton Thaiday, Fui Fui Moi Moi
CB: Joel Monahan, Mark Gasnier
S: Karmical Hunt, Jarrod Hayne

Special Teams
P: Todd Carney
K: Hassim Elmagic
KR: Billy Slater

 

[hellteam]

interesting. i actually reckon greg inglis would go extremely well at american football

 

[Monk]

he would, whether it be at KR, P, QB, WR, RB...

 

[pennywisealfie]

inglis would be rb

josh perry would be in the O-Line

 

[Philby]

I think Inglis would be better suited to WR becuase his height, speed and strength would be incredibly hard to match up for most CB & Safetys. He would be so strong through the air as well. It would be interesting to see how his stats (40 time, vertical leap ect) measure up against NFL players.

 

[Godz Illa]

Matt Cooper would be a good CB. Able to read offence and anticipate, plus he has good speed to match it with the WR's.

 

[hellteam]

yeah no way he would be rb. rb's are short, most around 5"9. hes much taller then that. perfect wide receiver. his times would be up there, hes sub 11 for 100 im pretty sure so id say his 40 and 20 times would be good

 

[Bumble]

For many years I've said the only player who could make it in the NFL from here is Eric Grothe. And now, maybe Inglis.

 

[Monk]

eric...lol
do you think he would be able to stay with his man?
he would be caught out of position too many times

 

[Philby]

Grothe doesnt have the agility or speed needed in the NFL. Sure he is strong but being a WR in the NFL is all about getting open & away from the defence. His hands a fairly ordinary as well. He isnt built right to play RB. Its totally different running over the top of 80kg wingers compared to 120kg linebackers

 

[Noa]

Rb who have a habit off trying to run over linebackers dont last to long.


GI would be a perfect WR, similar to Plexico. Locky as well would have made a great WR. Inu and Hayne along with Inglis could almost make the switch to WR right now.

Issy would be a better TE then WR.

Shannon Walker and Matty Bowen for cb

Greg Bird, SBW, Tonie Carroll at LB

Qb ummmm..........Braith Anasta or Feleti Mateo, good size, good ball skills.

Michael jennings, good choice for RB. Matt Utai as well.

DT Dave Taylor.

SS Issac Luke

P - Darren Lockyer

KR -Justin Hodges

PR - Justin Hodges (yeah I rate him highly)

He's probably not the most agile player, but he is pretty damn quick.

catching could be an issue...
