Tough decisions

If you look at all the players to choose from, it'll be a tough decision to leave certain players out of your team.

Is Tim even good enough to make the team?

Taka could be a great all round reserve but so is Smith, T Rex.

The reserve forwards could be Terepo, Vave, T Rex and Gower.

Where do the Pritchards fit in? Injuries only?

Is Davis finally ready for 1st grade?

The joys of being a coach I suppose.

  • Davis is certainly a disappointment, he looks over weight and slow.
  • Agreed, but that's what the great teams have to do. The players know they will need to perform consistently or they will be spending time at Ringrose Park. Wenty could have a very good team next year if players can stay fit. The trick is to keep those players motivated even when the chances of playing top grade are slim.

  • Davis is shite, wont be playing 1st grade next year unless theres a massive injury crisis.

    Frank Pritchard is the same, massive plodder, same goes with Gower, these guys are not 1st grade quality so not fitting them in is no big loss..

    T-Rex has been utter garbage, me might not make it either.

    The bolter will be Ray Stone imo, id not be surprised to see him get a crack through injury.

    Smith is very handy as a reserve.

    • I did not know F Pritchard had been resigned.

      On another note, Reece Robinson has signed with the Broncos
  • Is Tim even good enough to make the team?
    - prop is arguably the weak spot in our top 30.
    - mannah is our most experienced prop and has some, albeit limited, big game experience.
    - mannah makes our 17.

    Taka could be a great all round reserve but so is Smith, T Rex.
    - taka is still my left centre even if Hayne arrives.

    The reserve forwards could be Terepo, Vave, T Rex and Gower.
    - not sure but brad Arthur seems to have a strong opinion of terepo and his handling issues seem to have ended (to some extent).
    - you'd think Vave, t rex and Gower would be NSW cup.

    Where do the Pritchards fit in? Injuries only?
    - in my opinion (which means nothing) they will be backups.

    Is Davis finally ready for 1st grade?
    - can't see how he'd fit in even if he was playing well.
    • Taka might start at centre with Hayne at fullback and Gutho still away. But with everyone healthy he'll move to the bench as he can cover backrow, backs and halves(in an emergency). I think Tony Williams may surprise a few people. Apparently he's training with an enthusiasm that stems from knowing this may be his last chance. I'm sick and tired of morons on this site bagging Mannah. The bloke takes the first hit up every time, which is the hardest to make. Hands to knees and quick play the balls which other players take advantage of to look like world beaters. He also doesnt miss tackles. He s not on a massive pay packet and bleeds blue and gold. Great captain and role model for young players re work ethic.
  • I think takka will play alot of the bench but between jennings and hayne 1 or both will miss some games.
    I feel for will smith he did enough last year to warrent a spot he was good in both semis but i can't see him getting a start in the 17.

    The club have a big wrap on ray stone and reed mahoney so they will be my bolters for a spot BA seems to have a wrap on tetepo and you can pencil him in for a spot he is our strongest ball runner. Not sure what happens with kaysa im not sure BA seems to rate him but id rather king then mahoney with kaysa 3rd choice

    Hallelujah.

    • Nick is finally saying what needs to be said

  • Im not concerned about that takka played abit of back row at the titans
