Your RD 1 2018 line up

[franklin2323]

I am aware there is zero chance of this team hitting the field.
I expect griffin will pick whare and Browne.
Katoa i am not sold on but Wallace needs a replacement, I think it needs sorting out before May is fit.
I like JFH as prop, he hits hard in defence and can rough up people for the first 20 minutes.
Leota has a lot of potential and can do some work in the front row if needed. He had a couple of really good games last year.

I think CHN/Yeo are backrow

Peachey. Kikau, JFH. RCG bench. Browne will start if he plays if not Leota last bench

 

[kinghippo]

CHN and Yeo are definitely the best combo we have, hopefully CHN is recovered for the start of the season.
Anyone have an update on our players recovering from surgery?
One report I saw says waqa and CHN won’t play any trials but should be starting round 1.

1 Edwards
2 Mansour
3 Blake
4 Whare
5 Dwz
6 Maloney
7 Cleary

Of above most are rep qulaity either former or future.And not suprised if where once again.

8 Tamou
9 Wallace
10 RCG
11 Yeo
12 Peachey
13 Merrin

Of above most are rep quality either former or future. Bar wallace all can be rep players again.

14 Mckendry
15 KIKAU
16 CNN
17 JFH

I reckon the last 3 guys have potential to be rep players. That is the team id run with.
Are there any juniors who people think will burst onto scene?
Mckendry is 28. I wouldnt say he is completely spent yet.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Reports DWZ has done an injury at training and will miss opening few rounds.

Now our lack of depth is going to bite us on the arse.

Wallace will be NSW 9 if he doesn't get injured.

Well that's a kick in the guts.

NSW must be in a bad way. Wallace wouldn't even be in my top 17 at club level.

To be fair it's probably NSWs weakest position as far as depth goes. We have all the fullback though.

Who replaces him? Surely not the peach or Yeo centres?

 

[mxlegend99]

If DWZ is put we literally only have one option for the wing. Waqa Blake.

Which means hes going to be out of position playing average footy as hes not an effective winger.

It weakens the wing spot. It also weakens right cdntre since hes our best right centre.

1. Edwards
2. Mansour
3. Peachey
4. Whare
5. Blake

Assuming no further injuries thats our backline Round 1.

Griffin has played Whare on the wing as well. Not that that is any better an option.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Ankle

 

[franklin2323]

Come on down Sivo. The only option really

Whare is useless as a winger. Blakes not great but is atleast a threatening ball runner.

Our wingers have to help RCG carry the rest of the dud front rowers. Either way its a terrible situation to be in...but hey who needs depth?

 

[OldPanther]

Come on down Sivo. The only option really

I hope they go this way. I want to see if he can make a good go of it.

 

[ACTPanthers]

Come on down Sivo. The only option really

Not the only option as stated already - I can see Whare or Blake on the wing before Sivo is brought in

 

[Whino]

Nah with carty's money available they probably sign a bum like Edrick butterfingers lee in the coming weeks.

We need another outside back regardless but I doubt we get one before round 1
