It'll be interesting to see who Robbo starts the season with.

Poor Tom has recovered from his injury and training with the top squad.

I think he will start off at the Jets and chip away at an opportunity off the bench but he's got several others to contend with. I wouldn't be surprised if a club in need picks him up before June 30. Tom's a valuable asset with good value. He just needs some luck
& a good run without injuries.

[Yak]

I remember watching a trial at gosford in 2010 where he and Cherrington were making half and full breaks at will against the grand finalists of the year before. Cherro did his first ACL in the 77th minute right in front of me. And Symonds hyperextended his knee after making a break against Souths in his very next game. It's obvious that Tommy still has the ability, his line running and agility at the line is brilliant. He's got very good ball skills, offloading and work before the line. Just needs to get his confidence back up and work on his offensive workrate and dominance in defence. He would be an excellent player at Melbourne if he remained injury free. A similar player to Hoffman who is played perfectly down there for his skill set. If Cherro fires early he'll certainly have his work cut out for him getting back in first grade, purely because Cherro gives you a tight option off the bench with far greater presence in defence. Same goes for Bosden really. We've certainly got some options there at least.

We are becoming top heavy in the forwards, don't get me wrong the depth is good but I would like 1 top shelf outside back signing to compliment our youth in the backline.

Unlucky mate, we just spent the last bit of our wedge on Mr Whomightiplayfornextyear.

Fair point though.....

I just reckon some players need to spend a bit of time at Newtown learning some basics and finding some heart and grit. You can't blame Smith for everything.

We got intimidated up front alot last season, thats why I'd use Moa straight away , he is a tough no nonsense style of player, who wont take a backward step, a perfect partner for JWH, to put some sting into our defence. At this stage I cant split FPN or Evans for the last replacement forward, it would depend on training and pre-season form. Lots of others in the mix, but this is the team I'd run out first game against the mixo's, and see how go. Like other comments mentioned on here, Moga is a worry, still not over the moon about him, and the injury isnt helping, I do think we are one quality centre short to complete the side.

You did this squad in 2012 open up 'twice' to let 50 in, get belted by the Broncos reserve grade team, get belted by the wooden spooners and lose 2 unlosable games in the dying seconds?
