Your best team for 2005

[SirShire]

1. David Peachey
2. David Simmons
3. Nigel Vagana
4. Ryan McGoldrick
5. Matt Reick
6. Greg Bird
7. Brett Kimmorley
8. Jason Stevens
9. Matt Hilder
10. Danny Nutley
11. Paul Gallen
12. Sam Isemonger
13. Phil Bailey

14. Andrew Lomu
15. Daniel Dumas
16. Michael Sullivan
17. Hutch Maiva

That is my strongest Sharks team, assuming we keep Peachey and Reick, but lose Beattie. If we lost Peach, Simmons to fullback and Covell to wing. If we lost Reick, Covell or Merritt to the wing. Not too fussy there.

Well I'd say don't count on Tallis definately playing next year. BUT you forgot about Corey Parker! Here's the updated version:

1. Hunt
2. Frawley/Kelly (I don't know how much longer Kelly will be around)
3. Tate (one of THE best centres in the world, don't move him to the wing)
4. Berrigan
5. Hodges/Kelly
6. Lockyer
7. Seymour
8. Webcke
9. B Berrigan
10. Civoniceva
11. Tallis (c)/Parker
12. Carlaw
13. Carroll

14. Costigan/Thaiday
15. Meyers
16. Parker/Learoyd/Czislowski
17. McGuire

****load of awesome juniors making their way through the ranks, particularly in the forwards. But even left out of the 20-odd I named there are Ashley Alberts, David Stagg, Neale Wyatt.....

If thats the manly side next year then forget it. We'll be lucky to win 5 games. Might as well start thinking about 2006. The Pia Donkeys have a better backline than us for f*cks sake.

 

[Anonymous]

And the pia donkeys have a better forward pack than us ;-)


The wooden spoon :arrow: Tiger town next year.

My Eagle Eye, I love Barker College. lol.

It's a better side than this year, and we've clocked 5 wins. I reckon it's good for 8-10 wins.

[Big Mick]

Thats a pretty small bench, but i don't know much about the 3 you've put in #16.

 

[Murphdogg1]

PJ Marsh instead of Nathan Fien

 

[salivor]

I don't know how Corey Parker is going to go from Origin to not even making the Brisbane side in the space of a year ;-) .

My side next year would be:
1. Karmichael Hunt
2. Brent Tate
3. Shaun Berrigan
4. Justin Hodges
5. Craig Frawley
6. Darren Lockyer (c) (gk)
7. Brett Seymour
8. Shane Webcke
9. Barry Berrigan/Michael Ryan
10. Petero Civoniceva
11. Corey Parker/Brad Meyers
12. Dane Carlaw
13. Tonie Carroll

14. Brad Meyers/Corey Parker
15. Neville Costigan
16. Tom Learoyd
17. Sam Thaiday
18. Michael Ryan/Barry Berrigan

No point in putting Tallis or McGuire in the team as who knows if they'll be with the club next year.
One thing is for sure though is that we're going to have an even better backline next year and it's time to give Kelly the axe. He's an extreme defensive weakness and is a liability under the highball so next year it's time to go with an attacking outlook but at the same time all our outside backs will be competent defenders. The future is bright!

 

[salivor]

PJ Marsh instead of Nathan Fien

Will PJ even play again let alone next year? Isn't the word that the Warriors will release from his contract early anyway?

Tigers:

1. Hodgson
2. Richards
3. Whaturia
4. Elford/Fitzhenry
5. Moodie/Miles/Fitzhenry

6. Marshall
7. Prince

8. Payten
9. Galea
10. Skandalis
11. Laffranchi
12. O'Neill ( c )
13. Fulton

14. Farah
15. Gibbs
16. Heighington
17. Halatau/Harrison

i dunno... no idea.

not looking good. everyone else is getting stonger except us.

 

[Earl]

1. Billy Slater
2. Matt Geyer
3. Steve Bell
4. Matt King
5. Steve Turner
6. Scott Hill
7. Matt Orford
8. Robbie Kearns
9. Cameron Smith (c)
10. Alex Chan
11. Peter Robinson
12. David Kidwell
13. Kirk Reynoldson

14. Ryan Hoffman
15. Dallas Johnson
16. Cooper Cronk
17. Robert Tanielu/Antonio Kaufusi/Sione Finefeauki

That is more likely to be the Melbourne side for next year. Steve Kearney, Rodney Howe and Danny Williams won't be at the club from what I've heard, so if we happen to sign a decent forward they would probably slot into the 17 jersey.

 

[Big Mick]

give me a go, i was close earl.

 

[Earl]

No.

:lol: ;-)

 

[Nugby]

pretty close on the dragons, but Dean Young on the bench, you'd have to be kidding, he'd be 11, thompson'd be 12, and creagh'd be on the bench, not sure how the ennis/gorrell/withers situation'll end up though

 

[incredible_holc]

ummm how come all the parra line ups i see dont have an interchange hooker on the bench???
what are you going to do for the 40minutes min that ridell is off the field????

 

[Earl]

Probably move Morris from 5/8 to hooker and have someone move to 5/8 :!:
