Your Teams Best Line up/Side for 2015 and Why

[kia ora storm]

Really need Tom Leyroh Larhs to find form or there is very little impact from that forward pack. Bromwich is now one of the best Front rowers in the game but he alone can't carry the team.

I think Kurt Mann has massive potential especially if he can bulk up a little over the off season, Im doubting Duffie will ever be good again but would love to see it happen.

Going by recent years I wouldn't be surprised to see a washed up 5/8 end up in the squad...maybe Campese

I left TLL out as he is too injury prone.

If Duffie does not come up then O'Neill and Tonumaipea are there as well.

Mann is a gun and they have signed Shaun Nona as well at no 6 who looks to have good potential.

Top 4 and one of the Grand Finalists imo. Excellent side. I'd play Taumalolo at lock with Ethan Lowe in the backrow though.

I agree. Only question marks on them are can Thurston and Morgan play as well as this year. Can Green manage a consistent season and get them to peak at the right time.

Totally agree. The Cowboys will absolutely kill it in 2015. I know famous last words but this is it for them.

I'd roll this. My question mark is on Morgan performing as well at fullback in 2015. Halves converting into fullbacks have a history of exploding early and petering out. It must be a very mentally difficult role to consistently perform in. I could see Morgan moving to 6 and Coote coming into the side at some point if Lui or Morgan underperform.

Bingo Souths have had this pack for how long and have 1 premiership to their name and the Bulldogs have won how many since having a huge pack?

2014: South Sydney Rabbitohs
2013: Sydney Roosters
2012: Melbourne Storm
2011: Manly Sea Eagles

All these sides have something in common big mobile packs.

Our forwards for next year are looking the goods imo,its a pretty damn good forward pack(we will have starting quality players on the bench,good depth),our backs are a bit of a worry though.

Can our forwards carry these backs?

Until he gets injured 15 minutes into his first game. He is made of glass, and not that strong old fashioned coke bottle stuff, more like the cheap flimsy wine glass variety.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Warriors fan, but wont make a team until next year.
Its a bit daft picking a team while signings/releases seem to be happening on a daily basis

You do realise that most of the rooster pack is under 110kg right, Napa, GWH, FPN, SBW ect were all under 110kg, most on or under 105kg? The Storm only had Norrie and Jesse above 110kg in their grand final team while the Sea Eagles had 3 players above 110kg while the rest of their forward pack were mostly under 100kg.

So you were saying?
