I like Winterstein, but, if my memory serves me correctly, his partner is the girl Tavita Latu went Loco on.

WTF??? Brook the crook?

Tagatese would need to slim down a little.

Why would Tags need to slim down? The guy has pace, strength and size. He runs through holes all day long and kills merkins. I'd love him in the centers! Running off Carney and wade he'll score a lot of tries!

Flano needs to shut up again.

Totally agree with this.

Sure have your thoughts Flano but don't go making them public at this point of the year.

f**k you still need to get the players to get to know each other and put their heads down in training and of course play some trials. And here he is already forming strong opinions on selections for next years team!

WTF?

Not a good move. Could already have caused a bit of friction in the team and was based on what he thinks not want he has seen. The silly bugger is still learning.

So he can do the above for 80 mins at centre.

So a lot of this speculation seems to indicate that Gallen is moving up front? IMO the Sharks need the fastest and most explosive players they've got running off Carney to stop other teams simply marking up on Gardner. Graham imo could play a Fittler or Daley-like role in the centres - big, skillful and another kicking option should the need arise. He seems to have a bit of pace for a biggish guy. Best is a finisher and nothing more in my mind, Tagatese would need to slim down a little. There's got to be some big young thing in the 20s looking for a chance.

Graham, is too good to have hidden on the flank.

Great to hear Flanno give him such quality wraps, BUT, still think his' future lies in the 2nd row or lock.

AK & Townsend last years "saviours" must be thinking wtf.

Pickerd is a gun. Perhaps he could take a wing spot? Actually he is smaller than Stapo...

Why? The coach, who watches him train all day, says he should be in the halves. Weve never seen him play in the back row. Some of the best tries we saw last year (Williams against the Roosters) were set up by Wade in the Halves.

I would think a few major points would be, he doesnt have a quality kicking game and he isnt very elusive. Not to mention that he hits hard, and is a deadset shoe in for Bird, who as we all know is a lock and not a 5/8th.

Also we have quality players like Robson, Morris, Kelly and Townsend who 3 from 4 will miss out if he plays at 7.

Cmon mate I'm sure the coach himself will tell you he kicks the ball like a prop!

He has matured into a backrowers body. Not his fault just a growing thing I suppose

"Some", being the operative word!
Not anywhere near enough, for a halfback!
IMO Graham played hard and tough for us this last season, though with few ball skills!
