Would be a good team... had you forgot the following, which is where our team all falls down.

Coach: Des Hasler

Zero chance of winning anything.
Struggle even to make the 8. That backline is very ordinary. The Morris twins will be a year older and heaven forbid a yard slower.
The Morris boys might pull out a good game every now and then but their days of being dominate and dangerous players are over.

They are not worth the combined $1.2 mil.

Who cares who plays

Unless the game plan changes and the attitudes of our players improve, it won't matter a fuck who plays

The results will be the same

Id be looking at Micheal Gordon who wont be an expensive buy for a year contract with option to extend if his body is up to it. He will ad more in attack then Hoppa, is playing really well and solves goal kicking issues. Move hoppa to the centres and hopefully by 2019 Abbey has stepped up to the plate or we have another option at 1 coming through the ranks. Holland is simply chewing up a spot in the backline because he can kick goals.
Gordon has been made to look a lot better this year because hes surrounded by quality playmakers in pearce and keary. He wouldnt really add much to our attack because hes not a good ball player.

1. B . Abbey ( hes young everyone is so quick to judge, watch how he plays in NSW cup maturing every game and you know offers something in attack which i hear is lovely once in a while)
2. B Morris
3. Will Hopoate
4. J Morris (potentially shift into back-row like Luke Lewis has, but i think gets no ball from our awful halves will play better under Foran)
5. Marcelo Montoya
6. Foran
7. Frawley (Played in the right position everyone loved him plays out of position is shit now?? people have short memories)
8. Woods
9. M'Bye (Mal and Kevvy think he could take the jersey from Cam when he retires, must know more than us lol)
10. Klemmer (If Hasler plays another prop at lock ill throw up, its where half of our lack of mobility comes from)
11. Raymond Faitala-Mariner ( every game he plays he looks like making a difference, des surely must work this out by then)
12. Elliot
13. Josh Jackson (c) Heart and soul of the club for the next foreseeable future

14. Nu Brown
15. Danny Fualalo
16. Francis Tualau
17. Jaydon Okunbor (GUN has to play next year)


Tolman i don't care what anyone says stifles our attack and ill pay for his Uber to Newcastle. Graham bleeds blue and white love him to death but he is just not worth anywhere near the price tag and if someone wants to pay it to him goodluck to them and same with Eastwood. With that spare cash chase a fullback for the following year if Abbey does fuck all.

Barely. Both are safe at the back, hoppas a stronger ball runner, both aren't great passers, gordon is a better support player.
I agree and we are mostly on the same page thats for sure. Elaborating more, the fact that Gordon can fill a void and can kick goals which is probably the major difference and his support play around the ruck makes him a worthy addition until we can develop abbey or someone else. Hoppa has always been better in the centres or wing. Here are his stats

2017 = 3 Try Assists, 1 Line Break and Nil Tries from 8 games.
2016 = 4 Try Assists, 3 Line Breaks and 8 Tries from 21 games

He has only scored 3 tries since round 6 2016 or 24 games. which is worst attacking stats for any player in our back line for the last year and a bit.

7. Lachlan Lewis( give them the whole of season together and let's see how they do)
8. Aaron woods
9. Moses mybe( meticulous number 9)
10. David klemmer( I don't know why Hasler persist to play him in the lock position?)
11. Josh Jackson( give him the ballon o' dor)
12. RFM( can run onto Forans short balls)
13. Renouf to omaga( superb attacking foward)

14. Danny fualolo

hoppa definitely needs to be in the centres. He's such a strong runner of the ball but just lacks the agility to be at fullback

mwz is deadset average and just signed for the tigers. Try an off-contract back like James Roberts. I think Tualau should be in the team over Tolman and Brown would be the utility.
