Dream Team

[Chip and Chase]

Let's just forget for a minute that there is a salary cap. If you could put together your NRL Dream Team for 2015 what would it look like and how many Manly players do you think would make it * ?? I'm discounting Burgess, SBW, and Te'o as they are off to rugby.

I'd go

Snake - best in the business as far as all round game is concerned
Mansour - this guy is a metre eating machine and good finisher
Killer - all class
Hurrell - hard to stop and getting better with experience
Hayne - not a fan of his consistency (or lack of) but when "on" he is hard to leave out
Thurston - quality
DCE - behind a good pack and with other attacking options for the defence to consider he would shine
Scott - proven performer
Smith - obviously not a fan favourite outside of Melbourne, but he is streets ahead of any other dummy half.
G Burgess - Plenty of impact from this big unit. May well turn out to be as good as Sam
Taumololo - hard fringe runner who is on the improve
Cordner - one of the best edge forwards going around
Gallen - high workrate and can play middle or edge

Graham - another strong high workrate prop
Parker - can cover front row and lock and has good second phase options
Bromwich - up and comer with plenty of grunt
Bird - best utility forward in the comp.

A couple of others that have impressed me this year are Josh Jackson, Ben Matulino and Dale Copley.

* True supporter award goes to the first person to name Manly 1-17

Snake – Attack and defence both brilliant and reads the play the best.
Mansour – Like a forward on the wing and fast.
Killer – The best centre in the NRL.
Hayne – Dump the ego and sheer brilliance remains.
Inglis – Only place to put him but has to be in the side.
Foz – ½ of the best halves pairing in the NRL.
DCE – The other half of the best pairing in the NRL.
Martin Taupau – 190cm beast
Matty B – Have gone with nivia over Smith purely on defensive capability
G Burgess – Battering ram
Josh Jackson – Like his ability (not his chicken wings)
Choc – Still prefer his movin and shakin!
Gallen – Just cannot leave him out

Aaron Woods – only young and just starting to come into his own.
James Graham – Great offload and can play long minutes
T-Rex – Super battering sub (yes we know he can)
Burher- best utility forward in the comp.

 

[Snake]

Snake
Robertson
Lyon
Matai
John Hopoate
Cliffy
Tooves

Kite
Ballin
Spud
Choc
Gifty
Beaver

Kosef
Kingy
Cement
Foran

I challenge anyone to beat this team! You'd be lucky to leave the field with all four limbs in tact with that pack and the bench.

 

[anthonyb1965]

Yeah great but most of them won't be playing next year.......

My Manly dream team would be:

FB - Wombat
WG - Snake
CE - Killer (vc)
CE - Bozo (c)
WG - Mongo
FE - Cliffy
HB - Cherry
PR - Lurch
HK - Tooves
PR - Wardy
SR - Beaver
SR - Igor
LK - Mal Reilly

Res - Skivy
Res - Gifty
Res - Kitey
Res - Choc

Coach - Biscuits

Snake and Wombat both have to be there and as Snake is faster I've put him on the wing. I chose Irvine on the other wing over Dale Shearer, even though I was a big fan of Rowdy's. And Matai would have started but since Bozo also had to be in the side and I have Stanton as coach, he gets a bench spot.

I'm going to exclude Manly players (to remove bias), I'm also picking my team on the basis that I'm starting a new club with no salary cap, I have 1 eye on imediate succes the other on the future.......I'm also not picking any players I dislike

1.Inglis
2.Hopoate
3.Walker
4.Hayne
5.Johnston
6.Thurston
7.Brooks
8.Graham
9.Luke
10.Scott
11.SBW
12.Taumulolo
13.S Burgess

14.
15.Woods
16.Moreoa
17.Merrin

18. S Mata'utia
19. Mamo
20. Lolohea
21. Cartwright
22. Peachy
23. Lichaa
24. K Sims
25. L Perrett

Moreoa, Peachey and Cartwright are interchangeable, sruggling for a ultility 14 who play cover hooker, lock, 5/8 and centre.......Gillet, Aubusson, Gidley......don't really like any of those guys, hmmmmm, Buhrer would be perfect

The Australian Netball Team this Saturday.

The Australian Women's Cricket Team next Saturday.

All having a dip in my pool. And then sunbaking and drinking various cocktails after their swim.

(My pool is not a very big one so I have to split them up.)

Does this mean I am sexist? :huh:

Sorry guys I just can't bring myself to dream about football players.

Disclaimer: Sorry to anyone I have offended. Please take this post as a light-hearted joke about different sports and how women have gained more notoriety in their sports pursuits and this is well deserved due only to great sporting prowess that I have not been blessed with by the way.

I have nothing but the greatest respect for all women and their wonderful achievements.

 

[manlyfan76]

A 21 year old Bridget Bardot and me.

That's my dream team.
