    depends on what happens with SKD in late February the backline could be

    Mitchell
    Burgess
    Fergo
    Copley
    Toups
    Nikorima
    Hastings

    Given the circumstances, I actually don't mind that backline, barring any injuries!

      he can't tackle but I wouldn't mind seeing how Luke Brooks went behind our forward pack, I think he and Mitchell Moses are both off contract at the Tigers after this season.

        Give JWH the captaincy and watch this team bleed for each other...

          Should Pearce be given the sack.........

          I'm a definite no for Keary, but Reynolds at his best is worth a punt for a reasonable price I think. He could play the role of anchor (similar to what Cronk does in origin) whilst Hastings runs amok and we would also have our goalkicking problems solved. Although his running game is non existent his organisational and kicking skills are excellent.

          I think Cronk is perfect in terms of skill, leadership and professionalism but the price he would command (probably $900 - $1M) would be a question mark. I'd say we could purchase Reynolds for $300k - $400k less than Cronk and use that extra money towards bolstering our backline stocks over the next 2 years.

          Nikorama is an outstanding talent but I think it is a very bad idea to have him as out first choice half alongside Hastings. For an example of how such a young halves pairing can go pair shaped for a first grade team, look no further than Brooks and Moses at the tigers.

          As for captaincy, Jake Friend of course with JWH as VC.

            This is has been mentioned in a few different threads by a few different posters. I totally agree. Everything about JWH says passion, dedication and toughness. I think he would truly embrace the role and excel at it as well.

              Cronk would be perfect, and we'd have money to spend.

              Give him a two year deal and let Hastings and Nikorima learn off him before those two eventually become the full time halves.

              Actually getting him, is the hard part.

                There must be a reason why he wasn't given it last time around.

                        We're lacking skill and experience this year. I hope our game plan becomes pure aggression and spoil tactics. Ugly wins are better than losses. We have the power to bash teams.
