OK guys - we have come to tyhat part of the season where we usually start looking to next year.

There are still some glaring holes in our team and despite the fact that we are a team of depth players - several excluded, we don't seem to have a great deal of depth.

Im sick of this crap - as Im sure you all are to.

Why dont we do a dogs / dragons (who would have thought buying players would help their teams hey) and try this for next year. Its a;ll possible:

1 Gallant
2 Ayshford
3 Tiquiri
4 Lawrence
5 Tuiaki
6 Marshall
7 Moltzen
8 Galloway
9 Farah
10 Sam Burgess
11 Ellis
12 Mark Flanagan
13 Heighington

14 Payton
15 Gibbs
16 Laurie
17 Galea

I'm not having an overpriced, over rated Union player in our side, let alone at centre.

I'd be inclined to get Galea into the centres, get him to drop a few kgs and do nothing but sprints and passing all off-season.

I'd be dropping Gibbs from the side, replace him with Shirnack who I reckon is going to be a very solid consistent performer next year, which we desperately need.

I sure as hell wouldn't be giving up on Lui, with a good off-season under his belt and some specialised coaching, I reckon he's going to be pretty good.

Someone teach Benji how to kick long without f**king it up half the time. Our biggest issue is our inconsistent kicking game. Sometimes it appears that a long kick at the end of a set is a worst case scenario, which is just ludicous.

MU - good chance he will be with us next year - and not for huge dollars.

Lui is going OK - But hes a second choice half - why weaken half to strengthen fb?

why would u put tuquiri in the centres.. he'd be on the wing and can hopefully use his strength like tui does

No - he would be better played in the centres.

Big strong agile types in the centres work well; Daly, Gasnier, etc etc.

Hope we dont get Lote-

Burgess is contracted till end of 2010... but they keep talking about him in the papers comming next year...


Lui is in mt side every day of the week- Sheens has told him not to overplay his hand- just let Robbie and benji call the shots.......

I'd love to see Benji at Fullback- that way Timmy gets his 7 spot were he was killing them and Lui gets his natural 6 spot were he plays in toyota cup....

he looks to slow to me-

If I'm wrong and he still has speed then I rate him, but looks to have lost a little pace......

We sign Tuquiri, I'm off until him, Sheens, Warren McDonnell and the current CEO are gone. It's bad enough that they sacrifice home ground advantage and take the games away from the loyal fans for a few bucks but I won't follow a team with a turncoat of Tuquiri's ilk on the books.

It will confirm the sell-out status of this club to me and I don't want any part of it.

Did I stutter?
That's your choice mate. I will stick by them through thick and thin, as I did watching the Magpies play in front of crowds of 1500 getting smashed by 40 in seasons where they only won 3 games all year, as I did when Terry Lamb raped my club and names like Kaufusi still haunt me. Do what you need to do, but the club will survive everything that individuals can do to screw it, and I'll be there cheering them on.

Yeah, I was there too but the games were still on at Campbelltown and we didn't sell out. Not until 2000 anyway when we had no choice.

We have a choice in the Tuquiri thing, the right choice is to ignore the fat f**k.
