Your team for 2016

[Tiger05]

1. Tedesco
2. Nofoaluma
3. Naiqama
4. Simona
5. Hunt
6. Moses
7. Brooks
8. Woods
9. Farah
10. Sue
11. Lawrence
12. Halatau
13. Sironen

14. Seumanufagai
15. Lodge or some other prop if Lodge keeps being an idiot.
16. Taupau
17. Cherrington

Lawrence and Halatau to play the whole game. The bench will have plenty of impact. Sironen to play up the middle or roving a little and interchange with Taupau.

I'd probably take Robbie off and rest him but I'd try and get more attack out of him than what we have gotten recently.

I reckon that team can compete in the competition. They could have competed this year as well and that is what concerns me. Taylor is a basically a Muppet of the highest order. Hopefully something changes with his coaching.

 

[BrotherJim05]

1. Tedesco
2. Nofo

9. Cherrington
10. Taupau
11. Lawrence
12. Sironen
13. Edwards

14. Halutau
15. Ava
16. Sue
17. Lovett

During this year there were many posts relating to Pat Richards and his lack of speed. We can all cite examples of where a fast winger would have scored but old Pat just didn't have the legs.

I find this interesting because quite a few teams are calling for Hunt to be on the wing. Granted I have only seen him play maybe 10 times but he doesn't seem that fast and he doesn't seem that good. If he was that good I don't think so many teams would have let him go.

What is the chance of Addo-Carr getting called into the top grade. I know he was a world beater in the 20's and there is a huge gap between that and the top level but he has speed to burn and any half chance will more than likely result in a try. I know his defence is suspect but so was Koro's and we would have all taken him in our side this year.

I just figure we need to score points and this guy could be the one to do it....our X factor so to speak.

I was just talking to a guy at work....can Hunt kick goals? Maybe that is why is was signed, to step into the kicking job left vacant by Richards.

That could be it. He might be signed as our goal kick hunt.

We can't play Sirro at lock in 2016, lock is essentially a third prop these days, we will get steamrolled if we do this.

1. Tedesco
2. Nofoaluma
3. Naiqama
4. Simona
5. Hunt
6. Moses
7. Brooks
8. Sue
9. Chero/Farah
10. Woods
11. Lawrence
12. Edwards
13. Taupau

14. Halatau
15. Sironen
16. Seumanfagai
17. Chee Kam

 

[Bulli Tiger]

Moses can kick goals.

 

[BrotherJim05]

Moses can kick goals.

Yeah from memory he's actually pretty good aswell

 

[Tiger05]

We can't play Sirro at lock in 2016, lock is essentially a third prop these days, we will get steamrolled if we do this.

Unless the rule change make a difference. I think though currently you really need 6 props. 3 on the field at any point - both props and a lock.

 

[BrotherJim05]

Looks like Farah is staying. Doubt they will re-sign Halutau if this is the case. My revised lineup for 2016:

1. Tedesco
2. Nofo
3. Naiqama
4. Simona
5. Hunt
6. Moses
7. Brooks
8. Woods
9. Farah
10. Sue
11. Lawrence
12. Sironen
13. Taupau

14. Ava
15. Edwards
16. Griffin
17. Lovett/Kee Cham/Cherrington

Would be better to see Farah play 80mins

 

[Vic Mackey]

This is what I think we'll see, not what I would nesicarily have:

1. Tedesco
2. Nofoaluma
3. Simone
4. Naquima
5. Hoeter
6. Moses
7. Brooks
8. Taupau
9. Farah
10. Woods
11. Sironen
12. Lawrence
13. Edwards

14. Sue
15. Seumanifangi
16. Chee Kam
17. Halatau

NSW Cup:

1. Hunt
2. Seve
3. Heleta
4. Milone
5. Peni
6. Littlejohn
7. Rankin
8. Griffin
9. Cherrington
10. Buchanan
11. Fine
12. Lovett
13. McConnachie

14. Grant
15. Graham
16. Liolevave
17. Cassell
18. Addo-Carr

10. Woods
11. Sironen
12. Lawrence
13. Edwards

14. Sue
15. Seumanifangi
16. Chee Kam
17. Halatau

That is about our best side really. I'd think maybe Hoeter and Halatau are the two I'd personally drop off. I think I'd pick a different (faster) winger and personally I'd like to see Griffin on the bench. I think he can play well at prop or second row/lock and he seems as hard as nails. Griffin, Sue and Ava are not a bad rotation and Chee Kam is good enough to play in the backs if need be.

 

[macnaz]

Is Obed Karwhin ready for NRL ? We really need some strike power.
Plus anyside without Lovett , he is f**king pus and a waste of salary cap dollars . Id rather spend the money on carboard corner posts or urinal piss cakes to make LO crappers smell better !!

 

[isaiah]

Cannot wait to see firstly griffin then later mcconnachie make their marks in the NRL. They are up to it.

 

[madunit]

I dont get this love for Naiqama at centre. He has horrible defensive reads.

Fine and Hunt would be better. Kev is a winger and nothing else.

 

[Vic Mackey]

I think it's more a lack of alternatives as opposed to love for Kev in the centers. I'm all for one of the NYC kids in Heleta/Seve being given a crack.

 

[Ron's_Mate]

I dont get this love for Naiqama at centre. He has horrible defensive reads.

He's a shocker for rushing up early and leaving a hole.

 

[madunit]

Or rushing up and having his tackle attempt brushed aside with ease.

 

[Trollhammaren]

I dont get this love for Naiqama at centre. He has horrible defensive reads.

Fine and Hunt would be better. Kev is a winger and nothing else.

He is atrocious under the high ball though. I reckon that's the main reason he's switched to centres.

I cant see your hate for him... you have death ridden him all year regardless of him playing good or bad .
I actually thought he was about the only player to improve this year and added something to the side particulary at centre .
Defence is something that can be trained and coached and improved.
