  we need a geniune finisher, phil graham could prove an astute buy if we sign him.
  
  we dont have a lot of leg speed in the 3/4 line

  Cruse Bickey is another "alleged" signing.
  Good value but still young. 'Biscuit" and Afu are ones to watch imo
  Fast, aggressive and showing talent.
  
  You also have Manakafoa who may come good under SK
  plus some of the Wenty players previously mentioned. Eg Loko, O'Hanlon, Etu and others.
  Top 25 could look pretty good (on paper) again
  
  SHITE !!!!! - after all the moaning and groaning we may not be so bad after all. lol

  Whats happened with that pommy forward we were supposed to have signed up. Nobdy seems to include him when they blog about our new signings? I was speaking to a guy at work who is a newcastle boy and he reckons that this guy killed them in the local comp up there and that the comp up there is one of the toughest around! He was dirty when I told him that we had signed him up, He wanted him to go to the Knights. Wasn't he supposed to be a good friend of Sammy Burgess?

  this line up is not strong enough - short a quality signing in the centres/wing and ofcourse a halfback - if we can do that, we will be competitive, if not ....................

  yeah i was worried about the halves but im now im thinking of the wings and centres
  We so far have
  Burt
  Reddy
  Grothe
  Tahu ??
  What about Atkins?
  He was a winger for titans and could be used in centres at some time?

  You guys are NOT going to be satisfied with anything short of the perfect team.
  
  Look closely at who we have.
  Very few MASSIVE headline grabbers but good solid players who have the capacity to mix it with the best.
  
  This is what we have got - live with it.
  It is in fact a pretty strong line up IF THEY PLAY AS A TEAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and to their abilities.

    it is not a strong line up
    go and have a look at other squads
    no back up depth at all in the backline and no halfback
    no halfback = no top 8 again
    go figure colin

  2 J Reddy
  3 J Loko
  4 T Tahu
  5 E Grothe
  
  L Burt
  K Sio
  J Atkins
  I think our 3/4s will be fine.
  • 2m55ehehnnw5k > postcard October 16, 2010 at 10:25pm

    loko is not ready for a full season
    tahu and grothe will have injury concerns throughout the year
    sio is not ready for a full season
    atkins cant make gold coast top 17 regularly
    
    if we were to grag tonga however, then id be happy with this backline , otherwise we have serious depth issues here and on top of that, no genuine experienced halfback
