8,paeleasina
9,betham (capt)
10.seuseu
11.swann
12,guttenbiel
13,lauititi

bench,pj,campion,villasanti,koopu.
bit light in the bench backs but i reckon this team would take some beating.
not sure about #4,toopi would probably be my first choice.
i think cleary will be lucky to play out the season.the warriors are developing depth with the young guys coming thru eg, hohaia,tony,faumuina and even webb.
top 4 ??? no sweat !!

The economy of NZ should improve with all these jokers having jobs, and not being on the dole

I agree with your team and your sentimets Willow, IT'S TIME TO GET SERIOUS! SO...

We are St George so f**k all the rest,
f**k em all, f**k em all!!!

Willow,
I do agree with your sentiments, however as much as I hate to admit it, and I do hope I am proven wrong. I dont think we have the forwards to pull it off all season, unfortunately we have been able to do it a week here or a week there but never consistently. As I said before I just hope I am proven wrong.

I have no doubt our forwards can lift to theocassion, its the week in week oput mongrel our forwards dont seem to have. Once again benny I will be the happiest person alive if they do prove me wrong, fingers crossed.
