SQUAD FOR O5

[Mzilikazi]

Well Manly has its very own Pizza Hut owner that claims to be one of our keenest fans. We couldn't offload him to you could we?

We might as well build a railway link from Parra to Brookie to accommodate all these player, staff and fan movements. :lol:

 

[Hurriflatch]

I like the look of that sqaud and as has been said great ot see so many juniors in the sqaud.

But that is 39 and with Leuluai it's 40.

I'd be interested to see which of those players make up the top 25.

 

[Hurriflatch]

Gosh there's some fat players in that squad. The Maccas around Parramatta Stadium must be going great guns and it will get even better when Hindmarsh returns from the UK.

We have fat players you have fat administrator's

 

[Hurriflatch]

also looking at that sqaud. Considering that John Williams is still there I'm guessing the rumours of Matt Gruska leaving the club were true??

i don't think Gruz!! was offered a contract.

 

[The Colonel]

I count 39. One more spot for Leuleuai?

or Josh whats his name

At 17 its likely that Josh would be part of the lower grade squiads at least at the start anyway along with Backo, Sorenson etc...

 

[PB]

From that squad, all players being available (which they invarably wont be) for round 1...

If i try to think like Smith, then whether it is your preferred team or not, you could almost safely assume that our first team will start the season as follows:
1.Wade MCKINNON

2.Matt PETERSEN
3.Luke BURT
4.Timana TAHU
5.Eric GROTHE

6.Daniel WAGON
7.PJ MARSH

13.Glenn MORRISON
12.Nathan CAYLESS
11.Nathan HINDMARSH
10.Justin TSOULOS
9.Mark RIDDELL
8.Michael VELLA

14.John MORRIS
15.Chad ROBINSON
16.Adam PEEK
17.Aaron CANNINGS



Leaving our ressies side with some real selction dilemas as o who to leave on the bench! Alot of decsisions would depend on who still qualifies for the Jersey Flegg team...
1.Joel REDDY

2.Brett ANDERSON
3.Ashley GRAHAM
4.Ben SMITH
5.John WILLIAMS

6/7.BLAKE GREEN/Tim SMITH /MARCUS PERENARA (2 OF 3)

13.Dean WIDDERS
12.Jack AFAMASAGA
11.Chris MUCKERT
10.Fuifui MOIMOI
9.Ian HENDERSON
8.Paul STRINGER

Ressies from:
Feleti MATEO
Peter LEWIS
Henry PERENARA
Josh CORDOBA
Luke O'DWYER
Weller HAURAKI
Brendan OAKE
Brett DELANEY

 

[Hurriflatch]

Thats fair but I could see Stringer beating out Tsoulos or Peek for the round 1 side.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

also looking at that sqaud. Considering that John Williams is still there I'm guessing the rumours of Matt Gruska leaving the club were true??

Let me guess where he's headed.............................MANLY. :roll: :roll:

 

[Utey]

Knights or Tigers I heard

 

[thedux]

39, and 30 of those have first grade experience, with Wagon at 28 years the oldest by some way i am guessing...

I think that Peek is actually the oldest in the squad from memory. Well-balanced squad but a couple of players need to live-up to reputations because there are plenty of young kids to fill the holes.

Nope. I sit with Peek's old folks at home games. He is younger than me, and Wag's is my age.

 

[Avenger]

Where is Daniel Backo??

 

[Utey]

He will be apart of the lower grades squads. He needs plenty of development but looks like a good prospect.

 

[bartman]

Wouldn't Stringer and Morrsion also be in contention for oldest player?

39 players on full-time deals. That's a lot of strength. Confirmation of Moi Moi in there, and add a maybe with Leuluai...

Looks like Ronald Prince will be match payments only if he recovers from injury and stays? No Gruzska either, but expect someone else to snap him up.

Naming guys as young as Blake Green in this list makes me think that the Daniel Backos, Sorenson Jrs, Matt Nicholas, and Zach Russ etc aren't in the mix for higher grades this year anyway? If they perform this year, they might then step up to our top 40 squad for next year.

 

[Pazza]

Morrison is the most experianced player in the squad.

I like it, we have recuited some damn good players, we already had some class first graders and we have very talented young players coming through. Its just the kind of blue print that we need to follow to take us back into the top 8.

 

[Utey]

I just hope the best players are played this year. No more favouritessss

 

[Mzilikazi]

Morrison is an outstanding buy. Ridell will go okay if he gives up his two cartons a week habit. IT remains to be seen how Tahu will go without his mate Gidley giving him the ball.

 

[Utey]

Tahu I think wont be as suited to centre. His gonna struggle IMO for a little while before he finds his feet and he misses a lot of tackles which is going to cost. We shouldnt forget about Robinson, his an honest forward who is an excellent defended. The Roosters will hit themselves for releasing him.
