Round 1 Team?

[ooeey_ranga]

What do you think at full strength our squad would be for Round 1 against the dragons?

• Brett Hodgson
• Taniela Tuiaki
• Dean Collis
• Nick Youngquest
• Chris Lawrence
• Benji Marshall
• Matthew Head
• Todd Payten
• Robbie Farah
• Bryce Gibbs
• Ben Teo
• Chris Heighington
• Liam Fulton

14.John Morris/ Dene Halatau (Not sure who gets cut)
15. Corey Payne
16. Bronson Harrison
17. Keith Galloway

Fringe:
Stuart Flanagan
Danny Galea
Ryan O’Hara

Just a quick list i came up with, let me know if i missed anyone or what you guys think?

 

[weststigerman]

If you switch Youngquest and Lawrence it would be pretty close to the full strength 17 that Sheens would pick. For round 1 however, Bryce Gibbs is in doubt, I would assume either O'hara or Luke Harlen will come into the team.

 

[N.C.]

Can't really see Teo getting a start ahead of Harrison, and yeah, what he said about Lawrence/Youngquest... Other than that I reckon that's probably pretty close.

 

[ride the tiger]

isn't harrison used as a prop & therefore have no relevance regarding Teo starting or not?

& with all the talk from the club about Youngquest being a utility player, i could see him in the centers before Chris based on more experience (at least at the start of the year). Also depends a lot on how Chris's off season has been in regards to his defence.

Ideally

1. Hodgson
2. Tuiaki
3. Collis
4. Lawrence
5. Youngquest
6. Marshall
7. Head
8. Payten
9. Farah
10. OHara
11. Teo
12. Heightington
13. Fulton

14. Payne/Halatau
15. Galloway
16. Gibbs
17. Harrison
18. Morris/D Galea

Give Hard man OHara the start. He needs to start earning his money.

Anothr option is Lawrence and Youngquest on the wings, with Tuiki in the backrow and Danny Galea in the centers.

 

[madunit]

1. Hodgson
2. Tuiaki
3. Collis
4. Lawrence
5. Youngquest
6. Marshall
7. Head
8. Payten
9. Farah
10. Heighington
11. Teo
12. Harrison
13. Fulton

14. Payne
15. Galloway
16. Gibbs
17. D.Galea
18. Halatau
19. Flanagan
20. O'Hara
21. Morris

I think it's time Harrison started games, he was one of the most consistent performing forwards we had all year and was given f**k all game time. That has to change. I'd go with Galea ahead of Halatau, purely because he can tackle.

 

[themanonthehill]

What i'd choose:
1. Hodgson
2. TNT
3. Collis
4. Lawrence
5. Youngquest
6. Lord
7. Job
8. Gibbs - but prob in doubt
9. Benny Mk II
10. Payten
11. Heighno
12. Te'o
13. Fulton

14. Halatau
15. Galloway
16. Hard man o'hara
17. Harrison

BRET:
6. John Morris

 

[bubblesunlimited]

1 Hodgo
2 TNT
3 Collis
4 Lawrence - Defends on wing
5 Youngquest - defends in Centres

6 Benjamin
7 Head

8 Payten
9 Farah
10 O'Hara
11 Heighno
12 Harrison
13 Teo

14 Galloway = Tontine
15 Gibbs
16 Payne = more size than Fulton
17 Halatau

Plus some super depth in D.Galea, Fulton, Morris, Junior Burger with Cheese, Moltzen, Lazarus, Dunley, Flanno,

 

[smeghead]

Halatau over Fulton :lol:

 

[baddog]

Halatau over Fulton :lol:

Dene Halatau, meet Paul Fletcher. You'll have plenty of time to get to know each other real well over the coming year.

 

[Spank]

Its gotta be:

1. Hodgson
2. Youngquest
3. Collis
4. Lawrence
5. Tuiaki
6. Marshall
7. Head
8. Payten
9. Farah
10. Galloway
11. Teo
12. Heightington
13. Fulton

14. Payne
15. Morris
16. Gibbs
17. Harrison

 

[super_coach]

At the back end of the season when the forwards rolled over and died, Rhino and Fulton were theonly ones who deseved a pay packet. Robbie was injured so he has an excuse, the rest owe us big time

 

[crouching_tiger]

1. Hodgson (c)
2. Lawrence
3. Collis
4. Halatau
5. Tuiaki

6. Marshall
7. Head

8. Payten
9. Farah
10. O'Hara
11. Harrison
12. Heighington
13. Brown

14. Galloway
15. Fulton
16. Gibbs/Metuisela
17. Te'o

 

[Vicious]

1.Brett Hodgson
2.Chris Lawrence
3.Dean Collis
4.Danny Galea
5.Nick Youngquest
6.Benji Marshall
7.Matthew Head
13.Liam Fulton
12.Ben Te`o
11.Chris Heighington
10.Keith Galloway
9.Robbie Farah
8.Todd Payten

14.John Morris (i`d play Lewis Brown, but JM probably deserves a chance to prove his worth off the bench)
15.Bronson Harrison
16.Corey Payne
17.Taniela Tuiaki
18.Ryan O`Hara
***We need someone who can hit hard in defence to play in the centres to hopefully stiffen up our defence on the fringes. Danny Galea looks the best man for the job, even if it`s just for the first half an hour or so in each game.
***We`d need atleast 1 genuine prop on the bench so O`Hara would have to be in the 17, Tuiaki is a must selection to most likely come onto the wing letting Lawrence get more ball in the centres, therefore the last spot in the 17 would be between Harrison and Payne.

 

[themanonthehill]

No Junior Burger vish ?

 

[Vicious]

No Junior Burger vish ?

Not at first. After an ordinary season, he`ll have to earn his spot back in the top grade and he will. Youngquest is the safer option to start the season with, but McDonnell is a far classier player. Same as selecting John Morris on the bench, Lewis Brown could be the most dynamic impact player in the NRL and therefore is a must in our top 17 by halfway through the season, but as i`ve stated, we`d look pretty ordinary to not even give John Morris the chance to prove his worth off the bench initially.

[ooeey_ranga]

I've got big wraps on Teo, but i think Sheens will keep him coming off the bench just for a little while longer, even though i orginally had him in my starting line up.

Someone suggested before Fulton would miss out, i highly doubt it!

Good for us to have some selection dilemmas' for round 1, love it!

Long time reader, first time poster, don't crucify me just yet!!!

 

[madunit]

if only the dilemmas pertained to "Who to leave out" more often than is the case.
