2017 Team Discussion

[TimmyQ]

YES!!! Sign him manly, sign him now he will be an awesome addition to our side. Bozo better be paying close attention to him, will add strength, offloads and a bit of mongrel to our already good pack.

For 2017 we are looking at...
1. Tom Trbojevic
2. Jorge Taufua
3. Dylan Walker
4. Steve Matai (if fit)
5. Akuila Uate
6. Blake Green
7. Daly Cherry Evans
8. Darcy Lussick
9. Matt Parcell
10. Ben Matulino
11. Martin Tapau
12. Jamie Buhrer
13. Jake Trbojevic
And a bench of
14. Addin Fonua-Blake
15. Brenton Lawrence
16. Willis Meehan
17. Jamil Hopoate
(Shaun Lane, Api Korisau or Nate Myles may replace one player on the bench)

Now that's a good side... Trying not to expect too much but it really is hard when you look at the players in the team.

Good side but what a shame most punters here barely have Nate 'I'm on $600k for years' Myles barely in our starting 17 if all fully fit...

What's the bet Broncos swoop in late with a big money offer? I mean they got rid of Maranta and freed up 3 million obviously.

Errr @CBreeagles let's not be silly now.....$3.5m at least.

I dunno 3.5 million just doesn't seem like enough, perhaps 4 mil?! Nah that's probably too conservative as well, I'd say 5 million, they can resign all their stars and buy 'a few' others..

That's a great YAHT Harry

Although as soon as someone does one of these things with a prospective recruit they sign elsewhere.

 

[Clay]

This type of signing will give me hope for next year.

 

[Holmsey]

Get him to manly!!! Now!!! Matulino is a gun and despite being down on form at warriors he has still produced some great performances. And his offloading along with Jakes and Taupaus would make us a dangerous second phase team.

If we were good in the forwards this year, imagine how good we would be with Lussick and Matulino at starting props, Marty Tapau and Buhrer at second-row and Jake Trbojevic at Lock with Willis Meehan, Addin Fonua-Blake, Brenton Lawrence and Jamil Hoppa coming off the bench. It'd be hard to get past our middle alright! Nate will be our only weakness... That's if he even makes the 17

Let's hope he stays away from our team but I think he has some value with his defence but he is too slow for NRL. He's slower than Sam Kasiano who is ****en slow!

Just give him off to the Knights they'll take him, why not add in a special deal of Brayden Williame... What a combo!

Our pack was very strong this year and I'm confident it will be even stronger next year.

8: D Lussick
9: M Parcell
10: B Matulino
11: M Taupau
12: J Buhrer
13: J Trbojevic

14: A Koroisau
15: A Fonua-Blake
16: W Meehan
17: J Hopoate

One of the best packs and the best bench in the league IMO.

Chuck Lewis brown in their aswell which gives them a great spine.

Oh yes, maybe they should release Dane Gagai, Jarrod Mullen and Trent Hodkinson because they won't need them anymore with these three guns going to them

Tbh I wouldn't wish them 3 on any team, even my most hated team.

Ha! So many names being thrown around in this thread that I was wondering who Chuck Lewis is.

 

[double hoops]

I hope Bozo goes after him hard. I could even see matulino playing in the back row with us, big minutes and destroying edge defenders.

If Bozo and the Penns are serious, they will make it happen.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Is that something like

We will swap you Myles for Uate, oh and as a sweetner we'll chuck in Hexie at no charge!!

That is one potent looking side there Harry.

Sure is hahaha. At manly Williame and Myles are like the vegetables in 2 minute noodle packs, no one should ever EVER use them
