Imagine we sign Smith, Taumalolo and Haas to play alongside Burton, Naden and JAC.

We would instantly become a top 8 side on talent alone.

1. Allen / Meaney
2. Cotric
3. Naden
4. Schoupp
5. JAC
6. Averillo
7. Burton
8. Thompson
9. B. Smith
10. Haas
11. Doorey
12. Elliott? - not sure
13. Jackson

14. Topine
15. Taumalolo
16. Atoni
17. Hetherington

EDIT:

Wasn’t sure if Taumalolo played on the edge.

I was thinking keep Jackson on early to get through the defence, with Haas and Thompson providing impact.

Then, when Haas is gassed and Jackson is tired (20-30 minutes in), bring Taumalolo at lock and Atoni on to keep up momentum.

As for our edge forwards, not sure who plays there. Ideally RFM would be there but I don’t know if he’s signed for next year.

I hope we're not getting more Elliots, Wadells and Tolman like forwards. We have enough weaklings already.

Thats the stuff dreams are made of.

JT on an edge is something I'd love to see. Imagine him outside Burton would be enormous, he would be so hard to stop and would draw defenders in and give Naden or Schoupp and Addo-Carr so much time and space.

Might as well add Allan to the list too. That’s 5 star signings.

For real?

Elliot + Flanno - terrible re/signing as I posted last year on TK
Flanno signed out of desperation as L+W are shite
The others have all been shite this year and so have most of the team.
Yes the new signings have been crap but I don't think there were any genuine stars off contract end of last year.

 

[Stinger]

Similar how?

Plays well in a top 4 side. Bog average everywhere else.

Wow Elliott, Jackson and Doorey all made your starting side ahead of Taumalolo

 

[Stinger]

Fuck we need this news. I’m losing the love of this game rapidly. Years of shit and the sport ran by fucktards

NRL have ruined the game. Its going to turn into touch footy soon.

 

[Hulk76]

Pretty sure i said better than what we have brother. Upgrade, yes. Massive, yet to be determined

You don't think he is a massive upgrade on Katoa, Deitz or JMK?

Are you on drugs. Lolo on the bench. Elliott starting ahead of him.

 

[Teddybear]

Need matt dufty at fullback next year require penetration from the back .....
2 year deal only, if their thinking about Paps for 23 , could be a good 14 in 23, but has strike and x factor

They’ll still find a way to lose after Elliots 12 errors and 15 missed tackles

I for one would love to see Taumalolo on the edge, I think he would be a very damaging runner and create alot of opportunities for the backs, it would also prolong his career not being used as just a battering ram in the middle.
Jackson is a tough one as I would much rather persist with the young guys in Doorey and Topine and limit jackos minutes however if he's only playing limited minutes and for the price tag he's on then he's just not worth it and I'd rather look at moving him on especially if we had Taumalolo for the other guys to learn from and provide experience.
So with all that said the moral of the story is Elliott out!

Hell NO !

 

[chisdog]

Burton was brilliant today; hope we don't ruin him.

I think it would be a good idea to take a game or 2 to Dubbo to make him feel welcome. He will also play out of his skin there too. Little things like that could mean the difference between making him like the club or love it.

Hey Teddybear I love the fact that you require penetration from the back...Maybe someone on TK can suggest that person.....
