i like your 2nd bulldogs team more, there is no chance harris will be lock.

i also think thurston should be your 5/8 and let anasta be lock. but not being a dogs fan i wouldnt have a clue what your bench could be

My cowboys team for 04 would be, I don't think this will be it though coz I am pretty sure they have bought Norton to play 5/8.

1.M.Bowen
2.Williams
3.Hannay
4.Bowman
5.Sing
6.Myles
7.Sheppard
8.Rauhihi
9.Mcwilliams
10.Sargent
11.Morrison
12.Luck
13.Norton

14.Campion
15.Luke Odonnell
16.Strickland
17.Payne/B.Bowen/Sweeney/Jensen

 

[quick sticks]

1. O`davis
2. Tahu
3. Gidley
4. Richardson/Hughes
5. Quinn
6. K Gidley
7. Johns
8. Parsons
9. Buderus
10 Perry
11. Simpson
12. Kennedy
13. Abraham
14. Hall
15. Newton
16. Woolnough
17. Price

Could not split between Hughes and Russell Richardson. If Richardson trains well in the off season he may get the start over Hughes who since suffering from a few injuries has not been playing at his best. Good to see Richardson playing again with the right players around him, i feel he still has plenty to offer.

I think the Bulldogs and Broncos lineups for next year are interesting conundrums. The Broncs of course lose Ikin, Swain, Lee and Prince, among others, while the Bulldogs will be without Norton, Vagana and others.

I'd like to see Bennett promote Seymour to full time halfback status and slot Motu Tony into the #6 jersey. Berrigan would move to hooker. For the Bulldogs I hope Folkes starts using Thurston at five-eighth and moves Anasta to lock.

Also Kingling I'm pretty sure Norton will be gracing the five-eighth role next year for the Boys. Myles might come off the bench as a utility. I'm still interested to see how he'll handle the halfback situation (Shep and Fien).

Pretty simple... only had to replace the lock. I think Luke Swain would be a chance too. It will be a hotly contested spot.

We'll miss ya Satts.
