Team shuffle

[Jacks Fur Coat]

As back up depth for forwards I liked the look of Andrew Pearn and David Harris from the Jets but they may be gone now.

Wyong could have some options too as they did a very good job this year with no NRL club alliance.

Dan Hunt?

Why on Earth would we sign a merge forward??? It would be like going to mojave desert to go for a swim.

OMR summed it up brilliantly.
Sonny is the only real loss in the forwards, and we should be giving our youngsters a go.
Maubs should be playing more minutes on a regular basis.

I just hope Fergueson works out, RTS comes into his own, and Pearce continues to play as we now know he can.
I'd be super confident then.

A big big big loss. Even this year when his form slipped, there were many important tackles he'd make in defence that no one would seem to notice when a player looked like sneaking through our defence. Cordner and Guerra will need to step it up next year.

Sharks bought him

If sign Merrin for sure

Robbo learnt a lot in 2014 and his new team is being built to take advantage of the 2015 rule changes, this years rule changes were designed to help big forward packs and stop defences getting set.. Great for Souths, Cowboys, dogs etc, Robbo properly realised this post origin and did well to win the MP.. Proof of why preseason are most important.

JT that goes by another initial??

I hope god its not James Tamou. Absolutely shocking year was carried by the other cowboy forwards.
I would be surprised to see him play rep football ever again

The NRL in it's wisdom changed the rules well into pre-season training. What 's to stop it doing this again? You'd swear it was done on purpose to screw our game plan but that would be bordering on conspiracy theory territory wouldn't it!

Robbo's holding his cards this preseason.... 2015 will be the make or break for TIT! I know Robbo will have most bases in depth covered, he's a pretty smart chooky.

Won't help much if we still can't get any penalties.

Joe Turgess?

Easts Penalties; JWH, FPN, Maloney, Friend.. Who do Easts keep? far too many liabilities going into 2015.

[Game Fowl]

On the surface this looks like a simple fix by addressing the offenders technique, however this may be difficult if what I heard about the Refs having a dossier of each players KPIs , if this is true then the Refs are going into each Game with preconceived intent and any player who is in the spotlight has no chance.

I am not a conspiracy theorist however I was disturbed to hear this in conversation and this goes along way to answering some of the outstanding anomalies which happen on a regular basis which is swaying games

Talk about a fall from grace.

I am talking about penalties we don't get.

Partly because Easts don't lay down or milk penalties, I understand where your coming from but Easts do lack plenty of discipline in the ruck and give away far too many.
The thing that pleases me going into 2015 is the fact that the premiers received 200 penalties to our 123 and only scored 101 tries to our 106, with Ferguson at centre, skids on the wing and RTS at fullback I think we should receive more penalties coming out of our 20 and score even more points..
