I quite like the look of this team...

That will most likely be the team if Carney plays fullback. SKD and Williamson are pretty much interchangeable (one is experienced but error-prone, but the other is a rookie) and Jorbs and Jones will both be competing for the same bench spot, but otherwise, it is a solid team,

Thanx bro. I'd give Williamson a go. Would love to see Mitch Aubz get the lock position and keep it. I really rate him, great defender. Will be interesting to see how Carney goes at fullback. He'll handle the attacking side of things but taking high balls and defence will be a challenge for him.

Anasta to hooker..

Anasta to hooker..

Haha, good one.

But what your statement does highlight is that fact that he is going to be played out of position because 3 into 2 doesn't go. I also think Ben Jones is going to be a casualty of "sh1t recruiting" as someone else previously posted.

mini to left right out?

Speaking to Ben Jones he informed me he will start the season in the u/20's


But with Friend gone I'd like to see him training in the hooker position I think he would offer more than James Aubusson



1..T.Carney
2..A.Minichiello
3..S.Perrett
4..R.Williamson
5..P.Graham
6..B.Anasta
7..M.Pearce


8..J.Ryles

Starting hooker? That's a huge defensive load to throw on him.....I'd rather see him off the bench in firsts or at 6 in the 20's tbh.

I think he could handle the pressure of Defence

I think the line-up will resemble something close to this:

1. Todd Carney
2. Sam Perrett
3. Phil Graham
4. Joseph Leilua/Ryan Williamson
5. Anthony Minichiello
6. Braith Anasta (c)
7. Mitchell Pearce
8. Jason Ryles
9. James Aubusson
10. Frank Paul-Nuusuala
11. Mitch Aubusson
12. Jared Wearea-Hargreaves
13. Nate Myles

14. Lopini Paea
15. Willie Mason
16. Anthony Cherrington
17. Daniel Fepulaei/Olireti Samuelu

Just a thought though, would any of you guys think Todd Carney can slip into hooker? We've got two world class fullbacks in Sam Perrett and Anthony Minichiello and I just don't think playing Carney there in front of these two guys is showing them enough respect. We are obviously very weak in the hooking position so I think Carney would be great at hooker. He has the creativity to set plays up, he has tremendous speed off the mark and can certainly read a game of football.

Du Plessis to come in for Hargreaves and Maubs to go to second row, and Du Plessis to centre.
Jaubs to play whole game.

Just some random team's i was thinking...

And most of you are probably thinking why i picked Kenny-dowall for all,it was becasue i think he will turn out great under Smith.

Pearce/Carney to hooker, just thought we need a classy hooker. But Jaubs will get the first crack no doubt.

EDIT.

Might add this team too, which i reckon will be the team for round 1.
1. Minichello
2. Perrett
