I struggle with the dogs support.
Serious contenders...........honestly.
My team may not be as shown here...but the support for the dogs, shows up those not in the know.
No Chance at the premiership this year. Do like the coach.
Just suprised at the thought.
I wouldn't take any notice of the posts by Moffo. Just silly off-season stuff. The team he named probably won't even look like the one we field.
But I'm not surprised we are mentioned. We have a strong coach and a very strong squad with lots of depth.
Fair enough, the back line is a bit on the younger side but it's chock full of talent. The forward pack is excellent. Eastwood is one of the best forwards going around, Tolman is arguably the best young prop in the NRL, Pritchard needed a club change to relish and I hope that he does, Ryan is always great and Stagg is the best defensive lock in the world.
The bench has the potential to have a hell of a lot of impact with possibly Idris, Eastwood, Paea and Keating/Roberts coming off the bench and again, depth is very strong.
I can't find a spot in my side for guys like Armit, Hodgson, Halatau, Millington, Lett, Romelo or Payne just to name a few.
I don't think we are at all a show in for the title or even a top 4 finish but to say we have a mediocre team, a poor coach, an average side and all the rest that some people have been shouting around is ridiculous.
Just one last thing on Moore - He took the side which he had rebuilt in one off season to should-have-been-Minor Premiers (thanks Clarkey), won coach of the year and handled everything perfectly. Then comes 2010 when the club had to use the most players in the comp, more so than any other team because of injury.
Granted we can remain above the line for injuries I think we will finish top 6. People love to jump on a side when they've had a poor previous year.
