Storm - D Kidwell, J Smith, J Webster, A Blair

Broncos - T Tupou, G Eastwood

And this is a list of notable names from the Super League

1. B.Webb, M.Tony
2. Vainikolo, J.Webster
3. P. Whatuira, G.Carmont
4. I. Soliola, S.Mannering
5. T.Tupou, M.Vatuvei
6. B.Marshall, J.Ropati
7. S.Jones, J.Smith
8. Asotasi, N.Cayless
9. R.Swain, T.Leulaui
10. R.Wiki, P.Rahihi
11. Kidwell, Solomona
12. Lautiti, F.Pritchard
13.SBW, S.Hape

Two great side with great player still to fit in.

Asotasi (will he be fit?)
Solomona
Pritchard
Faiumu

 

[eadz]

Is Covell a Kiwi? cos i would seriousy consider him as a goal kicker. Worth at least 4-6 points a game. From memory they don't have very good goal kickers

 

[Sanchez]

covell lmao

 

[Nz]

If only Mason, Hunt and Carrol were all willing to put on the black and white.

Soli is a quality player, strong, fast, just needs to be given good ball, which he doesn't get often enough at the Roosters. Watch our earlier season game v Parra, he makes a 70 metre break where he must break 6 tackles & fend McKinnon, Tahu & Grothe all twice, before slipping a great ball to Wing. He's hard to stop from 10 out, & as shown last week in our match v Warriors, when in space he gets to show his turn of pace, & makes runs equivalent to an extra forward.

If only he could hold onto the ball & stop trying to force plays. But NZ should put their quickest winger outside of him, he'll attract 2-3 defenders & pop a flick pass at will.

 

[DACSSDOWN]

1. Webb

Thats seems to be his only downfall.
He also hits like a semi trailer and he is only 18 or 19. I hope he stays with the Roosters for a while yet

 

[Ari Gold]

will jeremy smith be available?

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

yes i think it was 6 weeks when he got injured, so he should be good GF week.

 

[ali]

I really rate Mannering from the Warriors and I'd love to see him get a gig. But gee you have some good centres. Shontayne Hape would probably be my first centre picked and I too rate Soliola. Depending on what side they play, they would be my first choice centre with Mannering in the squad as backup.

If Brent Webb's ribs don't recover in time and I'd love to see his Warriors understudy Paddy Ah Van get a run. Despite his tender age he looks fairly reliable and runs the ball back hard.

 

[Harold Bishop]

Steve Matai is the form Kiwi centre, and should be picked miles ahead of Soliola and Mannering.
