Your Team for 2018

[BenCumminsIsACheat]

Gordon is a terrible defender. He was a turnstile at the back. Having him in the centres would be a HUGE mistake not to mention his ineffectiveness in attack

Gordon should be put to pasture

It's obvious, we need some more depth in the backs. I don't want Aubo and Matterson playing in the centres all year. Surely we can pick up a centre and winger with a bit of first grade experience looking for an opportunity?

How about Gordon?
He kicks goals and all.

And, Aubbo makes a great centre , imo, ......depth ain't something we are NOT allowed to have/stock-pile anyway.

[Ray Stehr]

I did this in 2013 after Jennings became official, I'll do the same now. I'll go first.

1. Tedesco
2. Tupou
3. Mitchell
4. Manu
5. Ferguson
6. Keary
7. Cronk
8. JWH
9. Friend
10. Napa
11. Cordner
12. Aubusson
13. Liu

14. Tetevano
15. SST
16. Matterson
17. Pearce

Who kicks the goals? Swap Manu for Gordon and put Gordon on the wing and Fergo in the centres and there's the team.

I'm not convinced Flash is the answer to our centre problem. Aubo belongs in the back row. His defence is fine in the centres but he's too slow and can't pass. Don't get me wrong, I love Aubo and he's my fave but he's a back rower.

You happy with Pearce wasting a bench spot?????????????

He's a utility.
Give him a full season at centre , and I'll bet he'll be better than average.
Flash ain't the answer to any problems we might have in the 3/4s , but he does answer the goalkicking question.

Overall, I give up trying to solve the games problems.
The salary cap creates the lack of depth situation, no way any club is gonna spread the wealth.
A proper reserve grade would help the competition and the future of the game, but the nrl is too greedy and short-sighted to care.
Greed and self-interest.
I didn't even start on stupidity!
Greenbug has enough on his fine china plate I reckon..

[Ray Stehr]

I'd be happy to see Pearce go but Keary deserves a starting spot and Pearce won't play for Wyong. so the bench it is.

[Ray Stehr]

Hopefully Pearce will go and we'll get Crighton for 2019. If Pearce goes I'd give a bench spot to Radley.

[eddie]

I can't see Pearce and Cronk in the same 17.
I ain't one to tow the line on anything, just call it as I see it.

Pearce should've discovered his real position years ago.
The club and the proPearce brigade having faith , for too long, was admirable......................but floored.

Pearce has been over-paid , relatively speaking, for a bloody long time.
He never was the half you reley on when the chips were down.
He was more athelete than footballer.Just like his old man in that regard.....
He wanted the glory but couldn't handle the pressure.
He loved spending money he never earned.
He showed how smart he was when given the responsibility of the captaincy.

Sick of hearing people make excuses for this idiot.
The club bent over backwards for him several times.

Efforts , money and time expended exceed rewards by a large margin.

Yet, we are supposed to see things from his point of veiw????????????? again????

Poor Mitch.

[Funky Chicken]

No matter what happens SST MUST be in the starting 13......runs hard, bends the line, has a step and an offload

I think I would go for something like

1. James Tedesco
2. Daniel Tupou
3. Latrell Mitchell
4. Blake Ferguson
5 Michael Gordon

6. Luke Keary
7. Cooper cronk

8. JWH
9. Jake Friend
10. Dylan Napa
11. Boyd Cordner
12. SST
13. Isaac Liu

14. Zane Tetevano
15. Ryan Matterson
16. ????? Need another big body to come off the bench and be able to bend the line (Would have love to have picked up Paul Vaughn last year and kept Matagi)
17. Victor Radley

[Chooksforme]

You cant go into a game without an efficient goal kicker, Flash is good enough to hold down a wing spot in the team.
