    Cordner, Guerra, Brad T.

    The guys who finished it off should get first shot and starting,

    FPN was our worst forward in 2011. Maubs can earn his spot back - he was on the verge of being dropped before injury struck early this year.

      11 CherringtonIf he gets going he could be the best of our young backrowers

      12 MAub I was thinking at the end of last year that we didnt need him again. After seeing old highlights he is a one reason why SKD got space on his outside in 2010.

      13 B Cordner He needs to be given a chance before FPN who was crap last year.

      My bench
      Taka
      Tasi
      Mose
      Guearra

      Friend should be playing 80mins

        I just think both Takairangi and FPN are better impact players
        My forward pack + bench is;
        8. Kennedy
        9. Friend
        10. Tasi
        11. Cordner
        12. Guerra
        13. Aubusson
        14. JWH
        15. Masoe
        16. Takairangi
        17, FPN
        Probably have missed someone obvious (no, I don't care for Bwaiff in the pack)

          Where are we going to play Ty Webb?
          The golfing charade may be over before it has began Lol.

          Going by this http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8370459 he will STILL be in the side somewhere.

          Neither option has any appeal to me, but slightly better in the halves than in the forwards!

            I just pray by 2012 he's finished fishing his wayward kick offs out of the bunkers and has moved on to another course.

                I do like that forward pack.

                All we need now is Daniel Mortimer and Prince Rogers Nelson to fire up.

                  Frank is better even when playing badly.

                    12. Aubo
                    13. Cordner

                    IMO we need aubo running holes on the edges like 2010; he may even play centre considering the amount of backrowers we have.

                      I think those people that think Cordner is already better than FPN are blinded by hype a bit. FPN was terrible in about 4 games this year and he's certainly a player that is noticed more when he has a bad game than when he contributes well. Don't get me wrong I rate Cordner very highly (in fact I think if Guerra continues to struggle in defence early next year Smith will have Cordner come in on the left edge).

                      Takairangi is definitely best as an impact second-rower that can drift into the centre of the field and offload to a tight support runner.

                            Look at the games played, they are pretty much equal considering FPN played almost 3 times as many games.
                            Stats aren't everything.

                              as you said Fpn was far from his best.

                                FPN had an awesome work-rate in 2010 but went MIA this year when he was needed. In a very tough year some of our forwards still managed to enhance their reputations - Friend, Guerra, Ryles IMO. The younger guys like Tasi, Brad T, Cordner and Guerra just seem so much hungrier than FPN. This was a large factor in our good run home and one of the rare highlights in a poor year. I am keen for the young, hungry guys to get first crack at 2012.
