Your starting team for 2011

[Avenger]

I'm sorry guys, I've been bagging the Cowboys as sure things for contending for the spoon but after reading this you guys own it!

Let's put some money on it smart arse.

We will see how you feel when the Eels win the comp.

 

[lingard]

why does everything always end up an arguement on here

No it doesn`t.

Just stop ur embarrassing yourself with that poor attempt at trolling

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Seriously aside from Hayne explain your strengths?

Your halves are the WORST in the comp.

Your backline is mediocre at best.

And your forward pack while satisfactory has no depth, few injuries and you lads are in for a lot of beltings.

Yet you stated that upon reading someones preferred starting 17 you drew the conclusion we were also rans. But now it is about depth. Good one, flogger.

So you think a forward pack with Moi Moi (just over 12 months ago was regarded as best forward in the world), Hindmarsh(say no more), Mannah(SOO 2010), Poore(SOO 2009), Smith(most improved forward in the game), Horo and Shackleton is mediocre. You just proved that you can't put brains on statues.

yeah - but apart from all that we are dead set certainties for the premiership :thumn

I'm not sure whether this has been mentioned or not but Hick's white stripe strike rate is about 74 tries in 84 matches including 3 in the GF!!...he is a genuine weapon in the backline if he stays fit.

that may have more to do with the team he played for in his last couple of years of nrl rather than being a genuine strike weapon. i hope he can score plenty of tries for parra but by comparison nigel vagina's strike rate was something like that as well before he left the dogs. change of scenery didn't do him much good.

just food for thought.

Tahu - his strike-rate for Newcastle was like 90-odd tries in 100-odd games or something. It kind of shrivelled up and died when he came to Parramatta.

yep. forgot about that one. although in saying that i don't really care about individual try tallies so much as the team's total. i'd be happy to have our top try scorer finish on 12 for the season if it meant we were still scoring more points than the rest of the nrl and sharing the tries around through multiple strike points (similar to the way collingwood scored goals in the 2010 afl season).

 

[SDM]

I would have score 90 tries standing outside of Matt Gidley.

 

[DeanPay98]

Playing in a team with Andrew Johns and Matt Gidley probably helped. Tahu scored 82 tries in 97 games at Newcastle as against 25 tries in 63 games at Parramatta.

But in part the difference would also be that he played in the centres at Parramatta whereas he played predominantly on the wing at Newcastle.

Let alone Ben Kennedy and Andrew Johns.

bullsh*t

 

[SeftonBoy]

:lol:

Kearney will start with Burt but I'd start with Hicks. He's won a comp hasn't he?

 

[SeftonBoy]

I vote Sefton Boy

I vote for you. You're a tosser so you'd do a great job.:crazy:

 

[bartman]

Didn't expect you to give Luke Burt a jersey in your starting line-up, Sefton ;-).

 

[SeftonBoy]

Not my starting line-up, i think he'll be in SK's line-up. I'm usually a firm believer in giving an incumbent first crack but in my opinion he was atrocious last year so i'd give Hicks his jersey.
SK will pick the best 17 & won't worry about if a guy has been there 10 years or a has 1 or 2 flashes of brilliance a year. They'll need to perform week in week out.
