  • Forward pack as listed will get us as high as 10th.

  • I expect the teams to look like this:

    1. Iongi
    2. Ado Carr
    3. Penisni
    4. Russel
    5. Lomax
    6. Pezet (why god... whyyyyyyyyyyy)
    7. Moses
    8. Hopgood
    9. Smith
    10. Paulo
    11. Williams
    12. Kautoga
    13. De Belin
    14. Da Silva
    15. Walker
    16. Moretti
    17. Tuilagi (depends on what JR wants. Whether it is a pure middle in Tuivita. A middle/edge workhorse in Guymer or attacking upside backrower in Tuilagi)

    I got no idea for nsw cup. Got no 3rd string hooker unless we pick a JF boy. Not much wingers or centres to pick from either. To many 1/6/7 to pick from. Plenty of forwards to pick from.

    • That's a strong 17 🥰 

      1. Iongi
      2. Addo-Carr
      3. Penisini

      7. Moses
      8. De Belin
      9. Smith
      10. Hopgood
      11. Williams
      12. Kautoga
      13. Walker
      14. Da Silva
      15. Paulo
      16. Tuivaiti
      17. Guymer / Samrani

      1. Joash
      2. Nanva

      16. Ryda

      do you think this is too ambitious in terms of asking these young guys to step up EA?

      • On top of these names EA, the following seem like legitimate prospects:

        Backs: Bloomfield, Farrugia, Vella, Johansson, Rokosuka, Risati.

        Forwards: Koina, Petrus, Lokeni, Polley.

        correct me if I am wrong though!

        • Backs: Bloomfield did not have a good league year for eels but I still rate him. His union and schoolboy footy was great. Rokusuka, Sorovi, Moala and Johansson are good. I dont rate Farrugia or Vella. Bamblett & Davis are gun fullbacks as well.

          Halves: Ristati and Fletcher

          Forwards: Koina, Petrus, Polley, Lokeni, Popo, T Brown, Talagi, Funa-Iuta, Nauer, Bell, Coiankis

      • Lincoln will be 19 this year. He will move up to JF after that season is finished and should stay there IMO. He is quiet skinny and needs to build up his frame. At this stage I would not give him a nsw cup debut given the players in front of him as well.

        Ryda will probably start in JF. Coinakis could get the 9 job at this rate because we dont have a hooker right now with Hands & Lussick gone and Smith & TDS in NRL.

        Not sure what will happen with Twiddle, Volkman and Lorenzo combo. I would release Volkman to another club. 

        Moretti needs to be in the NRL team.

  • Jack De Belin is the big recruit ...thats fricken hilarious ....and yes it has to be Parra.  Jason Ryles we are all in but whats going on here ?

    • Beau fermor incoming apparently!
