  • Whatever Anderson names, I'll agree with
  • I heard rumours that Eric Grothe is keen on going to Japanese Rugby, so this team is based on him going there.

    Still not 100% sure if we're going to keep both Robson and Kingston. Anyone got any news on this?

    6. Daniel Mortimer
    7. Jeff Robson
    8. Nathan Cayless (c)
    9. Matthew Keating
    10. Justin Poore
    11. Nathan Hindmarsh
    12. Ben Smith
    13. Feleti Mateo

    14. Kevin Kingston / Kris Keating
    15. Fuifui Moimoi
    16. Shane Shackleton
    17. Tim Mannah

    This is, IMO, the best possible 17. I believe Mortimer and Robson are our future long-term halves. I'm a fan of Robson's structural and organisational ability which I believe is continuing to develop, along with his solid defence.

    The lethal 07 Inu-Tahu combination needs to be realised again, and I'm a big fan of bringing Moimoi off the bench has a massive impact player. As far as I'm concerned, the only reason why he wasn't used like this in 2009 was because we had nobody good enough to fill the void for the first 20 minutes up-front and win the initial and crucial battles. Anderson tried this with Mannah for several rounds by starting him and putting Moimoi on the bench but it didn't work. I feel that with a NSW Origin prop there in Poore, this can be done, and Moimoi's true strengths can be realised as he'll cannonball over the tired forwards in the latter stages of each half.
    • I agree with you 100 per cent in regards to moi moi , great point you have picked the same as me , i cant see and weakness , maybe ball skills with ben smith and inu need work
    • Ive heard robson is safe kingston may be heading away
      • Pretty certain Kingston is talking to Penrith
        • apparently Kingston said to many fans at the mad monday celebrations today that he is staying
    • Id start mateo and id place cayless and moimoi on the bench and have shackleton ,poore start
      • our captain wont start from the bench
