Next Years Team (2012)

[Captain of the Gate]

Actually the one prop I wouldn't mind having a crack at is Russell Packer.  He's just been dumped by the Warriors but I get the feeling a change in scenary would do wonders. He's young and got a heap of ability and perhaps we could take advantage of the rumoured unrest over in enzed and get him over to Brookie.

He was great for them late last year. A little disappointing in the opening rounds this year. He kept his tackling up but didn't deliver a lot of go forward.

He's down on his best which is why he's been dropped but to me he looks like he's not happy and by some of the rumours going around about harmony in the Warriors camp, he may indeed be looking at getting a fresh start elsewhere.  He's still only 21 and best years are well ahead of him so I'd definitely make a move.

Hadn't given him much thought but Packers definately worth consideration - if we can rake up the money UNDER the cap.....

Something else to consider is that Lowe coached Wigan and still has a good relationship with them from my understanding so maybe we'll pick up a few pie eater's players(Wigan)
