Depth

Depth chart below shows we needed Tuilagi and will need a top quality left centre- that way Simmo is a good quality depth for all positions in the backs. Still 4 spots left. I put Moretti in even though can't find him contracted anywhere. Put Matterson in the middle even though he is on the Eels site as an edge - seems to struggle with lateral movement in defence on the edge.

 

Depth (26)

FB: Gutho (1)

Wing: Sivo, Russell, AMS, Dunster (4)

Centre: Penisini, Simmo (2)

Halves: Moses, Dylan, Asi (3)

Hooker: Lussick, Hands (2)

Lock: Hopgood, Ofa (2)

Middle: RCG, Paulo, Wiremu, Matterson, Moretti, Makatoa (6)

Edge: Lane, Cartwright, Tuilagi, Doorey, Mataele (5)

Other: Momoisea (1)

            • You are 100% right. Oates will NOT leave the Broncos.

            • Yes but think about it Coryn, who is going to mentor them?

          • 100% correct Poppa. 

            Oates and Olam are exactly what we need.

            They are better than anyone else available and are better than what we have now.

            • Oates is too slow.  Our outside backs lack pace and Oates would be fine if you have quick centre inside him but we don't have that.

              • Russell is to slow as is Dunster. 

                Oates is better in every other aspect of the game than those two.

        • I'd be looking at Ben Hampton as an easy fix similar to Tom opacic 

        • Iro is a strange one. All reports label him as the next big thing but he's going absolutely nowhere. 
          Perhaps there is something going on, other than football ability with this one ? 

  • We need a tall, athletic, winger!

    Like how storm has got warbrick and coates..

     

    • Yes it is Oates and we may try to get Toupo even though he is contracted, Roosters wing depth is rediculous,

  • Speaking of depth, could this be our NSW CUP side next year? 

    There looks to be a lot of talent coming through the junior ranks, I have seen a bit of Martin, Sanders, Arthur, Twidle and Lynn, they all look promising. Going on comments on other players which I haven't seen much of, I have added them to the squad. I don't know the age or eligibility of most of the players coming through. Who do we think will be the most likely to debut next year?

    I really like the look of Martin and Arthur, both will play NRL.
