Next year....what will Smith do?

[Guest]

Admin (Easts not this website) are a shambles... How can you offer Brett Morris a contract and when he is ready to accept, tell him we can't fit him under the cap.. Then the following week O'Meley is announced to be leaving.. and still there is no money in our cap..

yes i reckon. but there was enough money for Carney?

[supermario]

I thought Lammy was taking up a position in England... Murray has to go too.. The NYC side is no better under him than Lam.

Smith should wield the axe.. There is too many players just there to pick up a pay cheque.. Hello Willie..

Lammy said it will be a couple of weeks before they find out what is happening with coaching positions at the club. Basically Smith will look over who is here now and who he will keep.

Like i said, over the next few months, we will have alot of change.

thats a pity about towers? he did deserve a go in fg? we did the same thing to axel foley!

[stephenj]

lammy smiles when i mentioned a move back to the shire? they really appreciate him down at the second last guppies!

Create a tackle structure, we currently don't have one, we are generally (other than Nate and Jake) windmill grabbers, no one goes for their legs and so they keep marching downfield.

Get our players fit, then create some leg drive and leg speed.

We can't really hope for any more with this rabble.

Exactly mate.

Discipline, attitude, pride, commitment, physical and mental fitness.

That will show in defence, the attack will look after itself.

Smith will coach the team next year

Mason is on huge $$$ next year apparantly well over 400K as it is his final year... No wonder he is determined to see next year out

Smith can not alter existing contracts which are already in place..

He can hardly get rid of anyone..

No but he can send the rubbish to Newtown.

Clean slate for everyone from here, I want to see what they can do when coached.

The starting side i'd have:

1. Perrett
2. SKD
3. M Aubusson
4. Jones
5. Minichiello
6. Carney
7. Pearce
13. Anasta
12. Myles
11. Mason
10. FPN
9. Friend
8. Paea

14. J Aubusson
15. Cherrington
16. Stanley Waqa
17. Kennedy

changes to the centres/forwards if any of the 20s actually man up/stop getting suspended for long enough to see if they're any good (*cough*Williamson*cough*)

I thought Luke Towers had more years on his contract, I would like to seem him stay and do well at the club.
I am also glad he did not get blooded this year and it may have ruined any chance of being a good NRL player in the future.

I'll put money on Williamson being first choice centre next year if your interested in having a punt.

we will win the spoon again with that team. it is basically the the same as this years team

We'll be better with Anasta and Carney but there's stll too many duds for my liking.

yep..

j aubs is the most useless hooker i have ever witnessed, he does not understand the conept of a 'scoot'..... shame since he learned from c smith

m aubs is not a centre, his defence on sunday proved that, he need to be in the second row.

skd.... is just shit its as simple as that. he tries his heart out, but he isnt even good at trying.

martin kennedy - newtown player, the small opportunity he has had he hasnt shown anything

paea, stanley waqa, fpn - they are too similar too slow and too lazy, if they have to be in the side, paea as one starting prop and fpn on the bench.

jones - try his heart out again but there is no position for him in this team, he is not a centre and he is not a hooker. newtown.


1. perret
2. ??
3. williamson
4. ??
5. mini
6. carney
7. pearce
8. paea
9. friend
10. myles?
11. cherro
12. maubs
13. anasta

14. mason
15. hargraves
16. fnp (if he works his ass of)
17. ???? - utility needed here, similar to chris flannery in his heyday


imo this bunch of players in this position lays the foundation for a solid, well balanced team. as you can see there are a lot of holes to fill, still in need of a quailty centre and winger with lots and lots of speed.
good luck smith!!
