Title winning pack?

[Guest]

Considering the re-signings this season and the fact barring injury we have the same line up week in week out, is this that pack to deliver us a title??
JWH, Friend, Kennedy, Aubusson, Guerra, FPN, Arona, Cordner, Masoe, Tasi
Vs
Cusack, Bonetti, Cayless, Morley, Fitzgibbon, Ricketson, Lomu, Crocker, Fletcher.
Will these young boys ever reach the heights of the 02 pack?

Two NZ rep forwards

vs

Best NZ forward, Best forward in the world, Best AU second rower, Best AU lock, Two other Austalian rep forwards.


Maybe but they're going to have to scale gigantic heights IMO.

Unfortunately not.

Cusack vs Kennedy
Bonetti vs Friend
Cayless vs Masoe
Fletcher vs Nuuausala/Takairangi
Fitzgibbon vs Aubusson
Ricketson vs Cordner

Crocker vs Arona
Flannery vs Guerra
Morley vs Hargreaves
Lomu vs Tasi

Would be some great matchups. Remember that in 2002 Cayless, Fitzgibbon, Crocker and Flannery weren't at their rep prime.

Unfortunately they wont win us a comp because they dont score the tries, they can dominate but you need a backline

No Fittler in this team.

Yep.

Jr Jr is starting to live up to his promise but our current 5/8, god bless him, and god damn me for forsaking him, does not have what it takes to deliver us a premiership. I have grave doubts that our beloved incumbent from across the Tasman will either. Anasta turned out to be very much not another Fittler, but he is not a poor defender. Maloney misses tackles. LOTS. The more I see of him the less impressed I am.

I guess it is up to Pearce to step up another level...

Defence can be trained.

Defence can be trained.

Hmmm. Surely someone would have trained SKD to stop jumper grabbing.

Although perhaps opposition teams run at Maloney a lot to tire him out.

We need sparke
SBW or at lest a player that similare
We alsoe need gud backline
hopefulli Moga lives up 2 his hype
SKD start score many try
And we get good wing

It's getting there. All those guys are future rep players.
