Team 2015?

[Guest]

That's the plan, Perret and Skids were the best for Easts. Toops height doesn't lend itself to ball returns.

He either needs to put a bit of size on his legs or get better at bumpimg off guys who go low on him. As soon as someone gets around his thighs or hips he's powerless to stop them driving him back.

I'd have Napa start with Moa on the bench and Meehan in the team over Kennedy.

With Friendy out I'd put McIlwrick or Williams at hooker.

Don't even bother about naming Jake he possibly could be out for half the season. IMO I don't think Hastings is a dummy half, I think Sheck will struggle at FB & I don't rate Kennedy, Evan or Setu. Nene McDonald has to be in the side IMO & I hope Meehan lives up to his hype or otherwise I don't think the Roosters have got enough tough forwards

Update/ predictions; IMO rnd 1

1; RTS
2; SKD is a left winger
3; Jenko
4; Fergo
5; Toops kicking to both on the right side would be unstoppable
6; BBQ
7; JR
8; Moa
9; Aubbo
10; Napa
11; Cords
12;Guerra
13;JWH

14; Hastings
15; Liu
16; Evans
17; MLK- To start the season Meehan -

Forwards; Meehan to play more games in 2015 maybe even crack a permanent spot in the 17
Papalli to play a few NRL games in 2015 [my bolter for 2015]
Taukeaho - Mcilrick - Setu- Siejka[ has either bulked up or is fat?]

Backs; Nene will play more games in 2015
- Stapleton [ should play during Origin]
Reuben to debut for Easts
Wyong may see an NRL debut and a new signing should be enough..

No SKD ? You rate a Wyong #9 ahead of Aubbo - Hastings - Mcillwrick... Interesting!

I was under the impression that Nathan Stapleton had signed for a European Rugby Union team prior to his move from Cronulla-Sutherland to the Eastern Suburbs.

Hi Turk, I believe that once Ferguson is cleared to play, SKD will be moved on.

Also, I believe it would be a disaster to play a hefty chunk of the season with a bit-part hooker such as Aubo or Hastings. McIllwrick might fit the job, but he hasn't won NSW Cup hooker of the year for the past two years running. This is why I'm leaning towards Mitch Williams.

[Guest]

I agree, Mitch Williams is good enough. It depends if he wants to to take the chance. Travelling to sydney full time while working won't work. Mcllwrick in my opinion is to play back row, good work rate and can fill in at hooker. Saves having utility on bench.

Foss, why would Robbo let SKD go if he fits under the cap with Fergo etc? He was better than Jenko in 2014 and is still under contract, to add to that the likely hood of both Fergo and Jenko playing Origin in 2015?... IMO, letting SKD go would be seriously retarded?

Good enough for what? Has he played NRL yet? Hope your right but I guarantee he won't play #9 in front of Aubbo or Hastings... He might get a start in the 9's or a trial? Maybe even play an NRL game in 2015..
