Never heard of any of them except Sgt Shultz.
All UNDER 20s - dead set certs for a FG start.
ORF SEEZUN Malady strikes again.
Te Maire Martin & Gideon Mosby-Gela won't make their debuts this year.
Brooks & Moses are set as the Tigers halves and the Cowboys back-line stocks are strong with experience.
Liam Knight may well make his debut, though, especially in light of Mason's departure, Lawrence's potential departure & not too many other solid fringe forwards at Manly.
Tevita Pangai may also make his debut but not to start. Raiders still have some decent forward depth despite the reports - the likes of Luke Bateman, Jeff Lima coming in & a couple of others.
But if he impresses, he'll get a crack eventually.
And if it were up to me, Schulte would play.
And whilst he can play centre and back-row, he played on the wing all season for the Cowboys because of his height & aerial ability, so I'd keep him there.
Te Maire Martin is now at the Panthers.
Indeed he is, my bad.
But still, don't think TMM will play this year.
Wallace/Soward seem to be the favoured halves pairing still.
Ive said it before, i'll say it again
Morgan rubbish
About to say same thing Ron. However, if Schulte prefers centre and Gutherson wing why not play them there. Also, by the sound of it, if Schulte can create space for his winger he needs to be centre. This is why Taka is so good by giving Semi room to move so he can do his thing.
PS. Floppa was so slow he always run towards sideline cramping up the winger who had no room to move. No wonder our right side was so poor this year!
One of the big reasons behind Schulte's success at the Cowboys was his ability to win the ball in the air in both attack and defence.
Cooper Bambling & Ty Carucci would deliver pinpoint kicks for him - even wayward kicks at times - and Schulte's aerial ability would see him catch them and score, or catch them and pass to a team-mate in mid-air.
It's an asset of his and that aerial ability that we need on the wing would be missing if we were to play him at centre.
He's a much better player in the air than Gutherson.
Gutherson is the guy that will create space for the outside man, and Schulte is the guy that will excel in the air, much like Semi.
The best back-line we can go with, IMO, is 1. Gordon 2. Semi 3. Gutherson 4. Taka 5. Schulte.
Height on both wings, aerial ability on both wings, and creativeness and craft in the centres.
And we'd have a very balanced attack across the board and on both flanks.
Why would you split Taka & Semi? They worked quite well together this year so leave them that way.
Would only be looking to having one newbie in the backline also. So, to the joy of some I would start the year with Morgan in either the 4 or 5.
