Which player will have the most pressure put on them?

Of all the players in our side I believe PJ Marsh will have the most pressure put on him next season. The man has not played for over 18 months and may be immediately thrust into the number 7 role. If he delivers it may lead to a path of greatness.

Other notable mentions are John Morris playing 5/8th, Tahu in the centres and Riddell attempting to have a similar impact/cult following at a new club.

Nathan Hindmarsh will be under the most pressure to follow up on this years efforts. Also, after fixing his ankles, he will be expected to play better than ever before!

Mark Riddell will be under a lot of pressure due to the whole weight issue. There are already rumours going around about the kilos he has staked on but from all the photos I have seen (which add weight, well thats my excuse) he is looking pretty good!

This morning's rumour's column states he has lost 4 kilo's and is training hard.

Definitely must be a rumour. ;-)

Plus let's not forget that Pig had a slight back aggravation too, impeding his training.

I think the player with the most pressure will be whoever plays halfback.

Depends on what pressure your talking about

Presure from the fans to perform: Vella
Presure from youngsters coming through who want a big shot: PJ Marsh, Matt Petersen & Luke Burt
Presure from the media: Whoever plays in the 6 and 7 jerseys

most pressure will be on the forwards. Cayless for making up for the past 2 seasons, Vella for just poor form and Cannings.

Sounds good.

Also, I think Morrison and Wagon realistically have to perform. Afamasaga and Mateo could easily be knocking on the door for First Grade selection.

I just have a feeling that Cannings will be awesome this year.

Can you imagine late in both halves, Moimoi coming into the front row with Cannings into the second. It would give us a huge second wind at the both of each half.

no player will be under the sort of pressure that coach Smith will be under this year. He says he enjoys the pressure, if that's the case he's going to enjoy next year like no other :D

I think Smith will be (if he gets a run) due to the fact he is being thrown in at only 19 and trying to revive a few horrid years. But if he doesnt get a run I think players such as Graham, Burt, Vella etc or anyone playing half. A lot of players will have pressure to preform.

All the players will, but the real pressure will be on Coach Smith. Has to get his team at least in the top 6 for it to be classed as a successful season.
