Rnd 1 2013 - Potential Lineup

[emjaycee]

Somebody had to do it so assuming that we get both Izzy and Hock, and barring injuries during the off-season I am predicting a 17 to start round 1 something like the below.

2013 Round 1:

1. Hayne
2. Sio
3. Loko
4. Izzy
5. Blair
6. Kelly
7. Sandow

8. Mannah
9. Keating
10. Moi Moi
11. Hock
12. Ryan
13. Reni

14. Mullaney
15. Lussick
16. Allgood
17. Paulo

Tonga is missing cause I think we may be letting him go to make room for Izzy, though I kind of hope not and B Smith will be at Wenty in my team cause I dont think Ricky will tolerate the lack of discipline.

If we miss out on Izzy and/or Hock, Tonga will come in as will Smith IMO.

 

[Someone]

Im still a massive fan of B.Smith. Would have him infront of Ryan.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Yeah b smith does have a few mistakes - but does a lot of the little things we don't notice. No surprise our defence out wide was terrible considering smith was out for the majority of the year

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Yep. Smith > Ryan.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Assuming we sign hock/izzy:

1. Hayne
2. Sio/Blair
3. Tonga
4. Morgan
5. Izzy (until he gets a few games under his belt)
6. Kelly
7. Sandow

8. Mannah
9. Keating
10. Lussick
11. Harrison
12. Smith
13. Reni

14. A hooker (Roberts/smith/searge - trials will determine who)
15. Fui
16. Allgood/hock
17. Paulo

Gee hard side to pick - only a few players are guaranteed a spot and plenty of options in most positions. Back row / wing are spots thar a wide open

You know I forgot about Harrison so when you add him into the mix it seems we do have a few backrow options
Hock
Paulo
Harrison
Ryan
Smith
Reni
Loko potentially
Horo
The dude we signed earlier that was an armed robber or something (cant remember his name)
...









Lasallo

And everyone thought we were up shit without Hindmarsh. As long as some of these merkins can tackle, we may be okay in that area.

We might have numbers, but there isn't a lot if quality. Hock is an international but the rest of them are of a similar standard and very few would walk into another NRL side.

Hopefully with so many at least 2 or 3 will give us what we need. I reckon loco has the potential to be that gun back rower we need.

 

[Pazza]

Hayne
Sio
Blair (im hoping this kid responds well to the new coaching staff cause he has the potential to be quite a good player, plus he has that agressive attitude the team is lacking)
Tonga
Falou
Kelly
Sandow
Mannah
Keating
Lussik
Hock
Smith
Maitua

Smith
Paulo
Allgood
Moi Moi

 

[Redback71]

no way in the world would we have to dump tonga to fit folou under the cap. we should have heeps of cap space to spare

Agree 100%

This.....you would assume Tonga would've been at another club by now if this is the case.


On a side note why such the man love for Ryan in this place....he is deadset a Wenty player at best.

Good team. Just two things:

(1) I think Lussick is better starting and Moimoi off the bench; and

(2) I don't think lack of discipline is an issue if we are after Gareth Hock. I'm a big fan, but discipline is not his strong suit.

 

[Someone]

1 Hayne
2. Sio
3. Tonga/Loko
4. Izzy
5. Blair

6. Kelly
7. Sandow

Paulo is one to watch for next year. keen to see how he goes.
