Immortal -

The halves are obviously our weakest point in terms of depth.
Barrett & Head need to play the majority of games this year if we are to go anywhere in the comp.
Holdsworth & Gorrell I don't think will cut it on a week by week basis together as the halves pairing.

Definatly. If both Head & Barrett are injured at the same time we are pretty much stuffed.

I don't think we need as many hookers as we have had in recent year. If worst comes to worse then Young could play hooker also, who I forgot to mention at hooker

 

[thommo4pm]

somebody has mentioned that we have also kept Wade Humphries after originally he was going to be released. That's good for depth in the hooker role, not a bad little player.

 

[Magpie Nick]

Ranking the teams from 1-15 would to be hard to me, because some teams look better in the Forwards than others, but those other teams may look better in the Backs than the first teams.

I think Wests Tigers have good depth around the park except for Prop and Halfback, obviously we don't have the strength of the squads that Brisbane and Roosters have, and our depth in the vital areas isn't as strong as some others, but it isn't the worst in the NRL.

Fullback: Wade McKinnon, Luke Burt, Timana Tahu, Joel Reddy, Brett Anderson, Ash Graham

Since when could Tahu play fullback. In all his carrer at the knights I have never seen him play fullback.

I thought I did see him play a match or two back there??...ok!! I'll take him off. ;-)

 

[God-King Dean]

I also forgot with Ennis thqat he can play numerous positions, I know he played 5/8th & lock, not sure if anywhere else

 

[Special K]

Sharks (Going off the first grade squad and the Flegg grand final side players that are staying and the one newton bloke I know about :lol: )

FULLBACKS: David Peachey, David Simmons, Bryson Goodwin

WINGERS: Nathan Merritt, Luke Covell, Paul Mellor, Dimitri Pelo, Bryson Goodwin, Mitch Brown

CENTRES: Nigel Vagana, Vince Mellars, Beau Scott, Ryan McGoldrick, Stephen Ross

HALVES: Brett Kimmorley, Adam Dykes, Russ Aitken, Tony Caine

FRONT ROWERS: Jason Stevens, Danny Nutley, Hutch Maiava, Luke Harlen, James Stosic, Clifford Manua, Lafi Manua, Luke Douglas, Jon Green, Jacob Selmes

HOOKERS: Matt Hilder, Michael Sullivan

We have to many good quality backrowers coming through at the same time and it will bite us in the arse I fear. Dumas, Lovegrove, Reweti and Ciraldo, Galloway and R.Williams(who I don't rate but makes every rep team for some reason) all coming through they will leave for a place where they can get a start

 

[Kelly Patrol]

Droid - The Broncos have the depth,but how long before WB gives them a fair run?He prefers tried and tested.The young blokes only get a go when there are injuries,or during Origin.Karmichael was an exception.

It shits me to see deadwood like Kelly is in the team ahead of some talented young bloke.

Thats not to bad depth. Considering most of those young players have 20 up.

 

[Iafeta]

This thread sounds like a rehashed "Name all the so called superstar juniors at your club," or "Give the Canberra fans another chance tell us (and bag at the same the Tigers) all about their prototype superstar one of a kind legendary gods coming through their ranks".

Given the way people have attacked it, there is no reasonable guage to judge depth between clubs. At least from this in 10 years time I can look back and pick out 40 nuff nuffs who never played first grade, that'll be interesting come trivia time.

 

[God-King Dean]

Every player I mentioned has played first-grade

 

[Iafeta]

Every player I mentioned has played first-grade

Or let me change the bright spots of this thread to being:-

A: A vault for the all the "he's going to be a superstar" nuff nuffs who never make first grade
B: Obscure players who've played 1-2 games
C: Which club continually has a shoddy injury tolls and the local nuff nuff from the surf life saving club at Kogarah could get a run, and a scooner later on :lol:

 

[God-King Dean]

If you can point out where I've said any of these things then bag me out

You love the word nuff nuff don't you. Just remember, Johns, Lockyer, Barrett etc were nuff nuffs once too

 

[Iafeta]

So was Lance Hohaia a nuff nuff once too. Point is, like Lance, a lot of those players will stay nuff nuffs.

You can't say a team has so called depth because they've played a grade game or two, that doesn't mean they're first grade quality. Not by a long shot.

Basically, this has turned into another "these are the players who have played first grade at our club" or "these are our legendary god superstar juniors who will play 5,000 rep games" thread.

 

[God-King Dean]

So was Lance Hohaia a nuff nuff once too. Point is, like Lance, a lot of those players will stay nuff nuffs.

That's one of the dumbest things I've read. Exactly how can you tell if a player is not going to be a 'nuff nuff'. Until you are a proven fortune teller these players will continue to try & get into rep sides. If any of them had your attitude then they'd just quit

 

[Iafeta]

No they wouldn't. They'd be realistic and take it one step at a time.

The last thing most of the players would need is to believe half the hype they get here, because most of it is unfounded and requires a lot more hard work.

You can't honestly tell me that in 10 years time if you saw this thread you wouldn't say about 30-40 of these players "WHO?" How can you then call those players good for a clubs depth if they aren't genuine first grade quality? The fact is there are only currently 15 first grade teams, and a limited amount of spots, not all these players here will secure a spot anywhere. Put them in a thread regarding promising juniors or promising premier league players, but regard them as first grade depth? I don't think so.

 

[God-King Dean]

No they wouldn't. They'd be realistic and take it one step at a time.

Yes, & those steps lead to being in rep sides

The last thing most of the players would need is to believe half the hype they get here, because most of it is unfounded and requires a lot more hard work.

So you're saying we shouldn't give young players a wrap because they may read this & think it's easy resulting in them being crap? It's peoples opinions, whether they come right is another story

You can't honestly tell me that in 10 years time if you saw this thread you wouldn't say about 30-40 of these players "WHO?" How can you then call those players good for a clubs depth if they aren't genuine first grade quality?

& can you show where people are saying they are qulaity? People are naming ht eplayers they can play in which positions, depth doesn't necessarily have to mean 'talent

The fact is there are only currently 15 first grade teams, and a limited amount of spots, not all these players here will secure a spot anywhere. Put them in a thread regarding promising juniors or promising premier league players, but regard them as first grade depth? I don't think so

Once again point out to me where in the thread it states 'name your promising juniors pr Premier League players & do you think they are good first-grade depth?'. You made that assumption, no-one else
