Depth

[Sizzle]

Anyone else starting to become concerned about our depth?

[Rooster1908]

Don't really think our depth has change from last year , especially if we get jmoz

[Snapn1]

Roosters have the best depth in the competition close the thread NO NEED TO TALK about having the best depth WE KNOWWW!!!!

[stephenj]

if we need more depth we just buy it?

Are you referring to the training drill number Newcastle put on the young guys?

[Rooster_6]

If we sign Morris2 then I imagine our 18 to 23 would look something like

18. Sitili Tupouniua
19. Lindsay Collins
20. Poasa Faumasilli
21. Lachlan Lam
22. Matt Ikuvalu
23. Asu Kepoa

I think thats a pretty decent pool of talent, it becomes a bit compromised if Aubs or Chrichton end up having to fill in at left centre all year.

Average number of players used yearly is around 28 so you would imagine players like Butcher2, Fifita, Hutchinson, Bailey & Tuipulotu may all get a taste of first grade this year.

Yeah we look alright.

I do have some questions marks over Faumasilli, I am not sure he is quite up to the mark. That may just be me though

[QWERTY]

We also have Hall

[Rooster_6]

We also have Hall

The forgotten man, yeh drop out Kepoa and bring in Hall to the 23. Just an international with 300 games under his belt.

[zac]

Too many mistakes and too many penalties, but the first 20 mins last night showed that our reserve grade team isn't too far off.

[Thirteen]

The sky isn’t falling. Reserve grade played first grade last night.

NEXT!

If we get Jmoz, we'll be good.

[Mickie Lane]

To the OP.
No.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

People need to realise it's a real trick to getting your top 24 or even top 30 sorted with the Salary Cap limitations these days.

If you want to picture a graph showing your squads individual talent/worth there has to be a sliding downward scale there.

You can't have a squad made of of 24 James Tedescos and JWHs.

We probably do it better than anyone.

[Johnny Tobin]

We work our cap by spending most of it on the top, say, 21 players. From there on it's pretty light.

It's how we manage to have so many superstars but it leaves us vulnerable.

Has worked pretty well so far though.
