Team lineups for 2012

[caylo]

my opinions on a internet forum didnt lose my team an nrl game tho lol at parramatta

But your accountant lot you two premierships... lol @ Melbourne

Every team has small guys and every player missed tackles. There have been worst miss tackle by better defenders your just trolling. At the end of the day you can laugh all you like but outside of a few quality players the storm have a reserve grade team on the park so get used to seeing tackles like that.

17. *Insert some outside back that plays 5-10 minutes*

Probably a few mistakes there, but it's a basic guide.

 

[Raider_69]

Not a bad crack there Pete, for canberra, Sam Williams looks likely to start at Mounties (not that i agree with that selection) and Josh McCrone will start the year at halfback, you've missed Shaun Berrigan who will probably start at centre or off the bench as a super sub, i suspect that Joel Thompson might be moved back to the 2nd row to accomidate Berrigan

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Not sure if there is already a thread for this... Post your teams starting 17

Here's the Raiders.

1. Dugan
2. Ferguson
3. Croker
4. Berrigan
5. Robinson
6. Campese
7. McCrone
8. Shillington
9. Buttriss
10. White
11. Harrison
12. Thompson
13. Fensom

14. Learoyd Lahrs
15. Tilse
16. Papali
17. Williams

The only things I would change would be TLL to start (I think he plays better when he does) and I don't think Williams offers much off the bench. Would much rather him playing 80 mins in NSW Cup to work on his game than a few minutes here and there in firsts.

Considering we have a utility like Berrigan in the centres, I think it might be a good move to have another forward. Like Thurling who can play front and back row.

South Sydney Rabbitohs
1. James Roberts
2. Nathan Merrit
3. Matt King
4. Greg Inglis
5. Dylan Farrell
6. John Sutton
7. Adam Reynolds
8. Scott Gedes
9. Issac Luke
10. Roy Asotasi
11. Sam Burgess
12. Dave Taylor
13. Michael Crocker

14. Luke Burgess
15. Eddy Pettybourne
16. Ben Lowe
17. Nathan Peats

Roberts has had a fairly injury interrupted off season, as has Ben Lowe. I don't think either will make the team come rd. 1. Here is my expected lineup:

South Sydney Rabbitohs
1. Nathan Merrit
2. Matt King
3. Dylan Farrell
4. Greg Inglis
5. Chris McQueen
6. John Sutton
7. Adam Reynolds
8. Luke Burgess
9. Nathan Peats
10. Roy Asotasi
11. Sam Burgess
12. Dave Taylor
13. Michael Crocker

14. Scott Geddes
15. Jason Clark
16. George Burgess
17. Issac Luke

 

[Raider_69]

Joel Thompson to the bench for Williams, and Joe Picker starting 2nd rower in his place (whether you agree with that or not, Joe Picker is one of the guys furner has a tough time leaving out of the squad)

 

[aussies1st]

A couple of the previews I've read have had Berrigan at 9 and McIlwrick as reserve hooker.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Can probably agree or disagree with this post but here's my attempt at all 16 sides...

Brisbane Broncos
1. Josh Hoffman
2. Gerard Beale
3. Jack Reed
4. Justin Hodges
5. Jharal Yow Yeh
6. Corey Norman
7. Peter Wallace
8. Ben Hannant
9. Andrew McCullough
10. Petero Civoniceiva
11. Alex Glenn
12. Sam Thaiday
13. Corey Parker

14. Matt Gillett
15. Josh McGuire
16. Ben Te'o
17. Ben Hunt

Pete you left out Baptiste. I hope hes there somewhere.

 

[Big Pete]

I basically wrote the list sometime in October in one of my scrap books and made necessary changes when I could. I did forget about Berrigan and I'd imagine he'll position himself in the centres to allow Thompson to shift into the backrow where he'll finally realise his potential.

Champ - I rate Baptiste too but don't rate his chances of earning a start, at least not right away.

 

[no name]

I can't see Baptiste getting in front of any of those forwards. Will see plenty of him during the rep season but.

 

[legend]

Brisbane look very strong on paper. Manly starting to look old and the Dogs look patchy at best. Too many holes in their team, especially in the halves.

 

[THE CHAMP]

I can't see Baptiste getting in front of any of those forwards. Will see plenty of him during the rep season but.

I'd run him on at 5/8 in the season opener.

 

[AuDragon]

Baptiste chances will very much depend on who gets the nod to play alongside Wallace. If it's Norman, Hunt will be on the bench. But if Hunt gets the gig, chances are Baptiste could very well become the backup for Macca...

I really have no idea where this thought to put Baptiste at 5/8 comes from. He doesn't even have a kicking game that I know of...

 

[Vic Mackey]

All the mail is that 19 year old James Tedesco will get the fullback gig for wests
