Its a shame that KK will probably not be ready immediately. You cannot really put anyone else there.

Which players you think will get the chance to play 1st grade next year from premier league that havnt played 1st grade before...

 

[eel01s]

What the listed teams show is that we will be very strong again in 2008.

Hopefully Hagan and the side will work on consistency. They found the right attitude over the last four weeks, they now need to look at how Melbourne apply it week it week out.

Hopefully a lot of the younger guys are better off for the experience they gained this year.

* both Taulima and Tony Williams will make their debut at some stage next season.

* Etu has been told that he'll be getting a fair shot when he's needed.

* I also reckon that Oaky will make his debut next season.

* The Keating brothers may also make their debut but I think this may happen a little later than sooner.

 

[JessEel]

oh how exciting. have we signed taulima up for a while?
an offseason for him to work on his tackling technique is all he needs!

So is Oakeys future in the back row now?

I think he signed a 2 year deal this year.

Oaky's been playing at lock for a while and out of his skin I might add..

 

[Hutchy86]

interesting to see emjay put Hayne in at centre... I could see an Inu/Hayne combination being rather lethal. Makes me wonder if Hayne is really compatible at centre.. he can certainly defend well enough & he's a great finisher.
Can someone please confirm how long we actually have Tony Williams for?

I probably wouldn't change the team around too much...
1) Burty
2) Hayney
3) Inu
4) B.Smith
5) Grothe Jr.
6) Brett Finch
7) Timmy
8) Caylo
9) Piggy
10) FFMM
11) Hindy
12) Robinson/ Joe Gulavao
13) Mateo

14) P.J.
15) Junior Paulo/ Weller
16) Gulavao/ Robinson
17) Cordoba

Can he take the step up?

Only reason I ask is that he has been in Prems for a while but am wondering if he can cut it in the NRL if the shift is permanent?

tbh I don't know..I wouldn't put my house on it.

Eela, Have we gotten Maloney again next year.

Gees if so I would hate to be playing the Wenty Magpies with

1 J Reddy

6 K Keating
7 J Maloney

9 M Keating

Add some of the Big Boppers and that is a good Unit.

yeah..James is signed and looking forward to next year when i spoke to him briefly last week, with KK's injury don't be surprised if he makes a shock return on sunday, he actually told me that he's almost ready to play if he has to.
