Your tip on who will have a great season from your club

[caylo]

Tim Smith

I think one of the two keatings will be a big star, along with T.Williams who should make his debu IMO

Our best player IMO will be Timmy on the back of the two Nathans and Fui at their peek.

Most improved will be Burt, will be regarded as one of the best players who will never play reps, and Riddell in for a big one too.

Most dissapointing... i don't know Wagon? may struggle to break the full-time squad once Williams, Hauraki come through. Benny if he plays in the backrow IMO

 

[Glory be Lockyer]

Lockyer in 2006 repeat

 

[Cletus]

Bani for Manly.

 

[j0rd0_ShArKs]

Reece Williams
Ben Pomeroy

 

[Dazzat]

David Taylor (Broncos) for SOO honours.

 

[Raider_69]

If we get the halves right we can win the series.

what that means, well thats a whole other thread, but I want to see 6. Mullen 7. Carney

id reverse them simple because i think mullens a better #7 and todd's a better #6
but thats the future of the blues halves imo, but i dont think that matters too much... i say blood them this year... even if we lose this series, those two will lead the era of blues domination IMHO. Who plays where is really irrelevent, both will be good enough to play either... im not sure mullen will be up to it this year (nor carney for that matter) but i say go with it anyways.

I'm sorry to tell yiou his full potential is still pretty limited

He's not a bad player. He's no "next Ben Kennedy", as he's been labelled. But he goes alright.

As for Parra:

Mateo - starting the year at 5/8 and eventually movin to lock as a ball-playing lock, he'll love it

Inu - he'll prove just why we were not too fussed to see Tahu leave

Kris Keating - most talented 5/8 at the club imo

 

[effnic]

i'm expecting big ones from:

- Willie Tonga
- Reni Maitua
- Matt Utai
- Michael Sullivan
- Sonny Bill (but isn't everybody?)

Not everybody mate.

I've got a feeling that Ryles is primed to have his best ever season IMHO.

From the others:

Creagh to carry on where he left off. He'll play origin this year I reckon.
Young to make a hell of a comeback and also crack the Blues squad.
Reynoldson to prove an inspiration to the young players and provide some starch to our pack.
Nightingale and Rangi Chase to make the Kiwis WC squad.

 

[Munky]

For Penrith to even compete we need Sammut to fire.

Everytime he got the ball in a promising position in the lower grades something would happen.

Haven't really heard much on Ryles have we , if you are right he may get his Origin jumper back

 

[scuzzi]

Ben Hannant, PJ Marsh and Sam Thaiday for the Broncs

 

[nqboy]

Carl Webb's last six weeks before injury late last year were brilliant, the raw power and brute force that few can muster or counter. He's playing for his next contract this year, so, injuries permitting, I'm expecting a big one from him.

 

[Iafeta]

Manu Vatuvei and Jerome Ropati.

Vatuvei's started well in the trials from what I hear, and I think Ropati is a natural centre, he had an outstanding end to the year and I think this will continue.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

I think that alot of tips on here a more "hopeful" then actual predictions.

 

[JB]

Simon Mannering.

Playing 2nd row this year. Great work ethic. Good speed (for a forward), strong, tailor made to suit the new interchange rules. If he can develop an offload he'll be very valuble.

 

[Geohood]

Lopini Paea

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

i reckon anasta is going to stand up and be counted this season, wasn't fit in his first and struggled, but credit to him for not wanting to let his new team down. he had a good solid year last year despite what the anti anasta brigade say so i reckon this year he will be hitting his straps

the player i'm looking forward to watching the most is lopini paea. this is going to be his year. he is going to stand up and be the backbone of our forward pack and i think his bumper season will carry on into the world cup

also think minichiello will have a great season with plenty to prove after injury problems

i still think pearce is a year away

I'd be interested to see which ones you would put in that category.
