Think Gibson is half decent but if him and arundel are our first choice centres watch out for some hammerings

This is what the squad looks like now
The ones in bold are the weak spots for me.
Happy with the players themselves but I'd like a stronger player in that position.
Pomeroy in at centre and Godinet or Moore at 14 would be nice
Also then add Tupou as a back rower, makes the team look a lot stronger

I still think we will be hovering around the bottom 4 but 8th isn't impossible.
I don't think we'll be cut astray like we were this week though.

1 Jordan Tansey
2 Tom Johnstone
3 Ashley Gibson
4 Joe Arundal
5 Bill Tupou
6 Jacob Miller
7 Liam Finn
8 Nick Scruton
9 Michael Sio
10 Scott Anderson
11 Jon Molloy
12 Daniel Kirmond
13 Mickael Simon
14 Stuart Howarth
15 Anthony England
16 Anthony Walker
17 Matty Ashurst
18 Reece Lyne
19 Andy Yates
20 Chris Annakin
21 Max Jowitt
22 Jordan Crowther
23 Sean Morris
24 Ben Shulver
25 Richard Owen
26 Craig Hall

Are we to presume Lee Smith won't be staying?

When John Kear took over Tony Smiths side that was getting beaten week in week out back in 2006, how many new players did he bring in?

Re: first team players : Fri Oct 30, 2015 2:10 pm  

Pop tarts squad is around 90% of the team that got smashed most weeks. However we know another class player coming in Tupou
so that will add a little bit more class.

However when looking at the squad the area where we are the most weakest and really need more class is the halfbacks. We look shockingly light at half when compared to the rest of SL

Think we have been over this ground in the past, the team JK inherited would wipe the floor with our present bunch
