[freeridermx]

can anyone tell me why the hell Stuart Fielden has 29 i have never been able to work that out does that number mean something to him ? any one know

 

[jed]

As far as I know it was his original squad number, and he's simply held onto it ever since, someone else will be able to confirm though.

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

Here's my stab at a Wakey line-up:

1. Halpenny
2. Tadulala
3. Hall
4. Demetriou
5. Buchanen
6. Obst
7. Jeffries
8. Griffin
9. March
10. Korkidas (Or Ned Catic, if he signs)
11. Solomona
12. Elima
13. Betham

14. White
15. Field
16. MacGillivray
17. Wrench

18. Whittle
19. Henderson
20. Rooney
21. Feather
22. King
23. Field
24. Campbell
15. Applegarth

 

[Deleted member 10972]

Obst? Jeffries? HAHAHA greatest halves pairing EVER! Roosters & Tigers REJECTS!

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

They're both still better then Finch

 

[Lowey3]

Saints line up will be.

1. Wellens
2. Gardner
3. Talau
4. Lyon
5. Meli
6. Pryce
7. Long
8. Cayless
9. Cunningham
10. Fozzard
11. Gilmour
12. Vinnie Anderson
13. Sculthorpe

14. Roby ? Hooper
15. Faasavalu
16. Anderson / Graham
17. Wilkin / Bennett

 

[Corbin]

Huddersfield will rip it up in the halves next year

6 Thorman
7 Paul

Best halves in the ESL.

 

[JasonE]

Here's my stab at a Wakey line-up:

1. Halpenny
2. Tadulala
3. Hall
4. Demetriou
5. Buchanen
6. Obst
7. Jeffries
8. Griffin
9. March
10. Korkidas (Or Ned Catic, if he signs)
11. Solomona
12. Elima
13. Betham

14. White
15. Field
16. MacGillivray
17. Wrench

18. Whittle
19. Henderson
20. Rooney
21. Feather
22. King
23. Field
24. Campbell
15. Applegarth

I'd have Rooney at 6, I really rate him just hope he stays injury free.

 

[jed]

Huddersfield will rip it up in the halves next year

6 Thorman
7 Paul

Best halves in the ESL.

I like the look of that combination, but Paul wasn't a serious contender for the #7 at Bradford this season, and I Thorman was never a contender for the GB side - Iestyn Harris & Paul Deacon are (in my opinion) a much better pairing.

 

[Lowey3]

b

Huddersfield will rip it up in the halves next year

6 Thorman
7 Paul

Best halves in the ESL.

Robbie Paul is the worst International playing in super league.

His been used as a sub for 3 years now at Bradford, offering no impact at all.

He would'nt make it at a Bartecard team in NZ nevermind an NRL team, which says it all.

 

[Evil Homer]

Any player would look bad playing out of position.We'll see what happens come next year.

nd I Thorman was never a contender for the GB side

Thorman was in the initial 40 man squad and was on standby for GB for the Tri Series,although was captain of England at the time.

Harris and Deacon are a good pairing though,as IMO are Pryce and Long.

 

[Fairleigh Good!]

Robbie Paul has done nothing positive in years. He has become somewhat of a joke figure with his ineffectual showings from the bench, and his comical performance in the Grand Final last year.

I like the look of the Saints halves. Pryce and Long will certainly be the most dynamic duo in the comp.

 

[daveking]

mcguire / burrows when fit will be the best pairing

 

[Fairleigh Good!]

Sinfield will continue to play stand off for most of the season with Ellis at loose forward.

Having Burrow, McGuire and Mathers on the field at the same team would seem a very weak defensive line for me. Where would they hide them all?

 

[daveking]

well seen as we are called one season wonders does it really matter

 

[daveking]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/super_league/wakefield/4485468.stm

Wakefield Trinity Wildcats have signed utility forward Ned Catic from Sydney Roosters on a two-year contract.

is he ahy good

 

[Evil Homer]

Can't say I like the look of Salford's squad.

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

I think Wakey should be clear of any relegation talk now - depending on injuries. Top 6 here we come...again!

Salford and Castleford will battle it out for relegation IMO.

 

[ParraDude_Jay]

Are you kidding? Salford should be in top 6 contention. It's between Castleford and Wakefield, the signing of a workhorse prop doesn't move them from relegation to top 6 contenders.
