I see everyone posting teams but are awful and are completely way off the mark. Here is a truly realistic top 17 for next season.
- Isiah Iongi
- Josh Addo Carr
- Will Penisini
- Zac Lomax
- Bailey Simmonson/ Sean Russell
- Dylan Brown
- Mitchell Moses (c)
- Joe Ofanghue
- Brendan Hands
- Junior Paulo
- Shaun Lane
- Bryce Cartwright
- J’maine Hopgood
- Joey Lussick
- Jack Williams
- Ryan Matterson
- Kelma Tuilagi
Reserves
Wiremu Greig
Matt Doorey
Luca Moretti
Sam Tuivaiti
Dean Hawkins
Joash Papalii
Haze Dunster
Toni Mataele
Development
Charlie Guymer I’d say 18/19/20th player
Richard Penisini
Saxon Pryke
The only changes would be if Paulo went back to his bench role impact & if ryles wants lane as a middle then Kelma would start in the second row position.
What do you think guys?

Pretty spot on, think Junior needs to lead from the front with RCG gone now so he should start
Think lane will be in the front row rotation
Just need one more forward and perhaps a Hooker. Then that is sweet. Move Hands to 14.
Papalii most likely the 14.
Yea im keen to see papalii get moulded into a bench hooker as we know he can play wing fullback centre 5/8 could be a nice 14
Just a note, I listened to Bailey on the Bloke in a bar podcast, he said a lot without saying anything direct. The defensive system is going to change for the better, he clearly hated the stupid system BA was running. We should reset our expectations for all edge defense.
The defensive system couldn't change for the worse, that's for sure. 😂
Seriously
Best thing I've heard all pre-season.
The backline is coming together nicely but there's still a big question mark over that forward pack.
