Team for next year : Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:31 pm  

Right then with some players being released and some new and re-signing anounced what would be your starting 17 for next season, try and be realistic

What key poitions need recruited for, id be happy with bringing Brough in at SH and moving Sykes to SO permantly, def a new winger IF Semi goes, and possibly a Prop or Centre not sure which one of them is a priority though

Id go with

Halley
Sheriffe
Crookes
Nero
Semi-if he does go a new winger (Raynor?)
Sykes
Brough
Lynch
L'Estrange
Hall
Menzies
Burgess
Langley

Wagga
Scruton
a new prop- (Moa?)

Leaving Deacon, Platt, Koppy, Donaldson, Worrincy, Rudd-if signed, Crossley and Hyde to fight it out for a bench spot

: Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:50 pm  

Halley
Sheriffe
Crookes
Nero
Tadulala(hopefully)
Sykes
Brough
Lynch
L'Estrange
Burgess
Langley
Menzies
Donaldson

Hall
Scruton
Whitehead
Godwin

I'd love 2 new halves and Sykes as back-up but it won't happen. I can still see Deacon being in the frame even if we sign Brough somehow. I'd ather have some proven quality than Moa aswell, otherwise i'd persevere with Koppy. I don't think Crookes will be ready to take the centre spot for a whole season either.

Halley
Sheriffe
New centre covered by Crookes and Sykes.
Nero
Tadulala/Rudd or new winger
New SO covered by Sykes
Brough
Lynch
L'Estrange
Hall
Menzies
Burgess
Donaldson

Wagga
Scruton
Langley
New prop /Kopzcak

No, because Bruogh wouldn't be an improvement on deacon.

They would be my thoughts aswell, but at least we're getting some young players in for the future.

Dave Halley / Hyde
Rikki Sheriffe
Greg inglis / Paul Sykes
Justin Hodges / Chris Nero
Crookes / Rudd
Danny Brough
Paul Deacon - not strictly speaking a standard stand off / scrum half partnership but two kicking pivots slaughtering the opposition with their boots / Paul Sykes as cover
Andy lynch
Heath L'Estrange
Nick Scruton
Burgess
Menzies
Donaldson


Godwin / Horton
Worrincy
Glenn Hall
Whitedhead

remaining cover should be adequate.
