I may have left some out.

 

[The Eagle]

What about the wing/centre who isnt oldfield/Whare?

 

[Copa Eagle]

the only centres i can think of are killer,matai,whare,trex

 

[Jatz Crackers]

Id like to see the back of gallop.

 

[abnc]

It would have been handy to have kept Farrar to cover in the backs. The backline currently looks good, but if we get a few injuries / suspensions we could be in trouble.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

T Williams might be in the forwards from now on.

 

[Rex]

Doesn't the team look so much stronger headed by one B. Stewart.

2011 - Bring it on.

 

[Innes]

Oldfield looked damn good at centre as well in under 20's, just sayin..

 

[The Who]

There are only four props listed, and of them King is the only one who had a good 2010 season. Unless there are others I don;t know about, or they are going to covert some of the backrowers to props, then this is where we will struggle.
Four props is nowhere near enough to cover for a season.

 

[mickqld]

Galuvao would be a prop next season.

 

[Copa Eagle]

if i were to try an convert some props, it would be gulavou, cunningham is a prop already and maybe Lussick ?

 

[Copa Eagle]

ha you know what i forgot chris bailey, what a shame lol

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Bailey would be listed with the forwards, a mid-game emergency back only.

 

[MadMarcus]

the only centres i can think of are killer,matai,whare,trex

trex should not play centre under any circumstances.

 

[Copa Eagle]

i wouldnt put him there, although i do reckon he should get some minutes roving around the middle of the field as a secend rower/centre, he needs to get fitter. Imagine if he was fit and making busts up the middle as a second rower !

 

[Masked Eagle]

I thought Kite had a great back half of the season.  With Big George struggling late in the year after an unbelievable start I think our props got shown up as a little too one dimensional.  Actually I think our whole pack did to an extent and that's probably due to a change in game style with a new halves combination, no player suffered that change more than Choc.

As far as our backs are concerned, I'm not worried at all by our depth.  Snake, Wolfman, Hoppa, Oldfield and DCE.  None of those of those guys played in the last game of the season and all bar Oldfield should be starting regulars next year, or at least they would be in my side.
