We have a decent team - potentially

[bluefox1968]

HERE IS A TEAM THAT WE COULD HAVE WITH OUR CURRENT PLAYERS PLUS BUNJI:

1. RYAN
2. FEKI (LEFT SIDE)
3. LEWIS (RIGHT SIDE)
4. LEUTELE (LEFT)
5. GORDON (RIGHT)
6. MARSHALL (HE NEEDS MORE SPACE TO BE EFFECTIVE)
7. CARNEY (RIGHT-SIDE ATTACK)
8. GALLEN
9. ROBSON
10. GIBBS
11. GRAHAM
12. TUPOU
13. ARONA

14. FIFITA
15. TAGATAESE
16. HEIGHINGTON
17. MORRIS

Now surely we could win some games with that team...

 

[bluefox1968]

Of course our coaches would find a way to CRO-NULLIFY our grand plans!

 

[chewsta]

That backline, whatever order you shufle them around and play them in, all of a sudden looks pretty dangerous. I'm really warming to the idea of Lewy in the centres too.

1. RYAN
2. FEKI (LEFT SIDE)
3. LEWIS (RIGHT SIDE)
4. LEUTELE (LEFT)
5. GORDON (RIGHT)
6. MARSHALL (HE NEEDS MORE SPACE TO BE EFFECTIVE)
7. CARNEY (RIGHT-SIDE ATTACK)

 

[madunit]

Why break up the Leutele/Feki combination?

Why put a slower back rower in the backline?

If you want a dangerous attacking backline, I'd go with

1 - Holmes
2 - Gordon
3 - Marshall
4 - Leutele
5 - Feki
6 - Carney
7 - Robson

And if you don't get benji, move Gordon to CEntre and put beau on the wing

It's time to bring Holmes into first grade into his preferred position.

Gordon at center would be good. The guy can bust a tackle especially one on one, stick Beau with him & it would be a good attacking combo.

 

[Click2000]

1. Gordon
2. Ryan
3. Leutele
4. Feki
5. Stapo
6. Carney
7. Marshall

8. Fifita
9. Robson
10. Gibbs
11. Graham
12. Lewis
13. Gallen

14. Tagatese
15. Topou
16. Arona
17. Morris

 

[cb4]

The 1-5 will stay as is until Beau comes back.

Wright or Ayshford will be gone then.

 

[IH8lossers]

1. HOLMES
2. RYAN (LEFT SIDE)
3. LEWIS (RIGHT SIDE)

6. MARSHALL
7. CARNEY
8. FIFITA
9. ROBSON
10. GIBBS
11. GRAHAM
12. TUPOU
13. GALLEN (start here then move into front row)

14. MORRIS
15. TAGATAESE
16. HEIGHINGTON
17. ARONA

 

[Since 73]

Our strongest team would be Gordon and Lewis as our centres.

Our strongest team would be Gordon and Lewis as our centres.

The week after Leutele knocks his way past SBW and other Origin 'stars' for a barnstorming meatie. Cronullafied.

 

[madunit]

Leutele is the best threequarter at the club.

Good team. My only change Heino for Arona.

 

[Luke Bowden]

You don't Lewis in the centres.

 

[Ausguy]

Who asked you? No one!

 

[Frenzy.]

Lewis to the centres is madness. Takes him out of the game too much. People whinge about lack of speed and you want to put a busted up back rower in the centres.

Gordon to centre is madness as well. He's played 3 games there in his whole career. His first and second games and 1 the next year. He's not doing that well at fullback because he has lost a yard or two of speed. I really doubt he can learn centre defence in a hurry either.

I'd sell him to the highest bidder to be honest.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Hes going to the wing Frenzy & if the late offer for Benji doesnt come about Benji will be playing fullback for us.
Also, Ennis wont be coming to us so that throws Robbo back into the hooker mix . Unfortunately.

 

[Weaponhead]

It would make sense for Gordon to look to the ESL next season to extend his career. The leg injuries have taken their toll. He has some good attributes but doesn't have the rounded skill set of the high quality fullbacks.

 

[Coastal Shark]

cb4 posted in another thread that Ennis was a done deal along with Benji and Fifita.

 

[Ausguy]

A very interesting team next year. Especially if we get the centre we are after.

Re: Lewis to centre?

OK - put Feki at centre and Stapo on one wing.

But who drops off the bench?

All hypotheticals, of course.
