next years team

[jaime]

He's shown moments of brilliance under the attacking high ball.
I dont think he is the force he was in '08, but then again he's not getting the support he was then.
Definitely has another season in him, but 2012 might be time for oldfield or hoppa on the wing

I agree! Oldfield will get his shot through injuries/suspension no doubt... especially if Brookvale Oval continues to be a graveyard for knees and ankles... but I definately think Robbo has another year or two left in him at the top level!

 

[pjayz]

My team:

1.  B. Stewart
2.  Hoppa
3.  Lyon
4.  Matai
5.  Wolfman
6.  Foran
7.  DCE
8.  King
9.  Ballin
10. Kite
11. Watmough (needs to run straight and rub glue on his hands next year)
12. Rodney
13. G. Stewart (will be a new man with Brett back on board)
---------------
14. Liam Higgins
15. Daniel Harrison ( I rate this guy)
16. G. Rose
17. T. Williams

Cover with Whare, Oldfield, Buhrer, Robertson (who you'd release if not in starting 13 - has been great but time to move on I feel), Cross, Bailey (should be released), Lussick

The reality is though, that Cross will probably be in the side as we lack front rowers, Robertson will be on the wing and Buhrer on the bench

We are screaming out for a front Rower - so disappointed we let Tasi go, should have released Bailey to ensure we kept Tasi

Didn't Joe only sign for 2010 ?

I don't think Robbo, Cross will be resigned at the end of 2011

Wolfie....depends on how he goes in 2011 weather he's resigned or not.

Might free up some $$$ for a Prop for 2012

Smokin Joe is on a two year deal

Smokin Joe is on a two year deal

Hope so! He, along with Rodney and King, was one of our best forwards this year! Always put in 110%

Nah mate, just wishful thinking. If I was in Crusher's shoes that's who I would be targeting, organise a tour of the facilities while he's down for the 4 Nations etc. He's off contract next season and has expressed a desire to play in the NRL and this would be the time to grab him he's only 24.

I'd have Seu Seu on the bench instead of Bailey and interchange with Ballin. We need an injection of speed and agility in the second half out of dummy half.

Until Seu Seu resigns that won't be an option. He was on a 1 year deal thankfully.

 

[mickqld]

The problem with Ballin is he is doing too much tackling ( I think he was about 5th in all season tackle counts). He gets fatigued in the second half and we lack punch out of dummy half. Thats where it worked so well when we had L'Estrange. Seu Seu showed for SSCSE and in the semi againsts saints that he could fill that roll. Need to give him a chance. Bailey shouldn't be anywhere near the squad next year.

he's also rubbish

 

[Denno]

I think we'll be seeing a bit of Harrison has a fair bit of potential ,Oldfield may not start in firsts but have a feeling we'll be seeing a bit of him also .

 

[jaime]

...Oldfield may not start in firsts but have a feeling we'll be seeing a bit of him also .

Agreed... oozed potential in his couple of outings this year... havent seen anything of harrison... I think it would be good though to see some of the younger guys from the 20's this year given a bit of time next year... bit hard with them playing in the Q cup but I think it would be good to see... guys like Portlock and Blanch in the backs and Stromquist and Cunningham in the middle...

I can live with the fact that the club doesn't re-sign Seu Seu but I'd be truly gutted if we lose Liam Higgins.
It's early days so know wild predictions but based on last years form he could very well go all the way.

 

[Mybludog]

Seu Seu signed on for another year.

At least that's what he told a couple of blokes i no at the Rutherford Hotel a couple of weeks ago
