Next Years Backline

I'd have Turbo and Walker in the centres, Hoppa Fullback, Funa and Parker on the wings. Schuster and DCE in the halves.

A player like Turbo, you want his hands on the ball as much as possible. You don't want him stuck on one side of the field, he'd be wasted.

Also, I never want to see Parker line up on the wing ever again after what he dished up once Jorge went off the field on Saturday. He was awful on the wing when he first debuted, and has somehow gotten even worse.
 
I think we need to consider the following:
  • Need more speed in the backs, and forwards (think I have a solution)
  • Try not to rely on the open market much (roster consistency) - one acquisition (or two depending on hooker solutions).

01. Tom Trbojevic (Obvious choice)
02. Albert Hopoate (would excel next to Walker, and get lots of ball)
03. Dylan Walker (could do with a speedster outside of him in Hoppa)
04. Morgan Harper (seems quite quick, sleek and smart - goal kicker)
05. Alex Johnston (our one solitary acquisition - has speed to burn)
06. Joshua Schuster (wow, imagine him with 50 games under his belt)
07. Daly Cherry-Evans (Much better, faster, more skilled team around him)
08. Addin Fonua-Blake (one of the best props in the game)
09. Manase Fainu (Hopefully plays, or someone similar)
10. Marty Taupua (one of the best props in the game)
11. Moses Suli (wide running backrower, fast for a backrower, can pass, damaging)
12. Curtis Sironen (damaging backrower when fit and firing. He and Moses - lethal)
13. Jake Trbojevic (Mr consistency, really need his glue)

14. Cade Cust (Great utility player, gritty, determined, fighter)
15. Taniela Paseka (getting better every year)
16. Sean Keppie (getting better every game)
17. Huamole Olakau'atu (Needs to be in this team. Size, speed, effort).

  • Backrow is slightly quicker
  • Backline is MUCH quicker
  • Suli could slot into the backline in case of in game injury - next Ruben Wiki?
  • Cust is cover for halves and Hooker
  • Much more mobile and uptempo should be the play with this team
  • Very young team

You are indeed a thinker @Ryan
