Shane Elford

[franklin2323]

no body on p1 or here seems to be selecting Elford in there team.That suprises me as what was the point of signing him to play for Windsor.And with Elliott and his history of side selections Elford will be in the team more than likely in the centers with Jennings

I personally can't see him in the starting team barring major injuries. I think he will play 1st grade this year however.

I think the bench will go 2 props, Hooker, 2nd row/Centre so say: Iosefa, Puletua, Bell ,Cooper/Blair/Elford If a back goes off during a game He has played FB, wing, Centre, 5/8 Lock & 2nd row in his career so should come off the bench and fill prob 2nd row unless needed in the backs

Shane Elford shouldn't be in a full strength Panthers side. He would be one of the first players i would look to when we need replacements, but definitely not at fullstrength.

Matt Elliott will no doubt have a different opinion... although hopefully he doesn't consider him as anything more then just a depth purchase. IMO these guys should be ahead of him in the following positions... ontop of other blokes that may have slipped my mind.

Centres:
Michael Jennings, Maurice Blair, Luke Lewis, Michael Gordon, Brad Tighe

Wingers:
Michael Gordon, Junior Tia Kilifi, Geoff Daniela

Backrow/lock:
Frank Pritchard, Trent Waterhouse, Joseph Paulo, Daniel Penese, Luke Lewis, Gavin Cooper, Matthew Bell, Junior Moors, Nathan Smith, Maurice Blair

As far as the bench goes, Masada Iosefa and Paul Aiton should have their own rotation system locked up, while the backrow position should go to one of the blokes on the above list.

Spot on MX. He's ideal for Depth because he is versatile I see him getting as much 1st grade as O'Halloran got. Maybe a touch more because he can fill in 2nd row no more than 10 games.

As for the bench I would go Iosefa or Aiton 1 starts to other off the bench. Puletua or Grant, Bell or Grant and Cooper/Blair can play 2nd row or Centres if needed throughout the game

Come on don't put him in the same category as O'Hallaron. Sure his not the greatest purchase ever but his not that bad either.

 

[Spitty]

He'll be playing the same role as "Sparkles" O'Hallaron.

Just doing it better....

Hopefully.

He couldn't possibly do a worse job.

Shane Elford would be a decent replacement atleast. Mark O'Halloran was just terrible.

A post on p1 says Elford has broken his arm during a training mishap.He fell of a bike.As yet this is unconfirmed .But he sure has bad luck follow him.Get well Shane you deserve a change of luck

I've been barred more times from Pi than you've had batting practice in the shower, hence I don't go there.

 

[murraymob]

Shane had a mishap at training but all is now well and is now back fully fit and looking forward to getting us in the 8

 

[Fibroman]

I heard he slipped over in the showers and had a badly swollen foot. But it didn't look like a foot to me, it looked closer to 4 or 5 inches.

You have a very unhealthy obsession Fibro. Time to check yourself in and re-assess yourself.
