Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XVI

[Poupou Escobar]

so we are going into 2015 and our backline is:

Hayne
Toutai
Hopoate
Morgan
Radradra

With Hunt as our only notable back up.

At a glance it lacks experience and class. Either our cap is worse than we though or the coaching staff have big opinions of the kids coming through.

That backline includes Hayne and Hopoate. How good do you expect the rest of them to be? There's nothing wrong with those outside backs.

Anyway I reckon Toutai isn't a definite, and Morgan might not be either (if he's competing with Toutai for a centre spot).

Also, most of our backups are young and inexperienced. These guys can show massive improvement over an off season. Vai Toutai 2015 isn't necessarily the same player he was this year, just like he is now a better player than he was last year. Just like Semi Radradra this year compared to last.

I'd say that Morgan is really the only player in that backline that I would be looking for an alternative for.

If we can find a centre to replace him who can give good ball to his winger then Semi will do fine, as he did earlier this year when we had a settled backline and he was getting service from Tonga. Toutai should also be better come the start of next year and thus will probably make a good partner for Hopoate.

If we can make an improvement on Morgan I'll be very happy with it, if not then i guess it'll be OK.

Morgan shits on Toutai and Morgan is crap

Morgan shits on Toutai and Morgan is crap

Sad. But true

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

Well, then, if you play Morgan instead of Toutai you need to find a new centre.

 

[El Diablo]

or a new winger

How does toutai go at centre in the lower grades?

 

[emjaycee]

If Vai is a centre maybe he is in FG on the wing getting some experience before 2015 when he and Morgan battle for Tonga's vacant spot and Burrito, Goodall, little Izzy battle for the empty wing spot.

I remember a current superstar who played on the wing his debut year. Didnt hurt his development.

1. Hayne
2. Semi
3. Morgs/Toutai
4. Hoppa
5. Burrito/Goodall/Folau

I'm wrapped that we have player called Burrito.

He could become a key ingredient in our team.

Big question though is whether he will meat the demands of first grade.

I'm sure Arfurz will lettuce know what he thinks of Burrito in due course.

Lacks class?? Lol

Hayne and Hoppa are pure and utter class. That is all you need with a few quality players around them.

 

[hindy111]

Hayne and Hoppa are origin players.

Semi is young and a decent winger.

Morgan over Tonga.He passed the ball today all you doubters..He has speed footwork and a solid player.With a salary cap you cant have all origin players.Does a decent job.

And so Toutai-Goodal-Falou-Hunt-Faraimo for another win spot. I think it is quite a good backline. You have speed power class meter gainers tackle breakers.
Would be top 5 backlines in NRL
