It may be made up but I like it. I'd rather have King than Frawley. I just don't like Frawley, he seems to be frail and clueless to me. Turning your back to pass left to right is a big no no, and his flick pass to know one is another.

Also I'd rather have Feast wood than Elliot.

And I'd start Danny at 13 and have Burr on the bench.
Because Frawley is shit lol. Best we can hope for is that Pay has set out a simple role for our 6 and that Frawley is the best man to play that role.

I'm guessing a lot of the creativity will be expected to be coming from Foran, Lichaa, Moses and just some good hard running from our forwards. Physically we look in good shape.

1. Mbye
2. Bmoz
3. Jmoz
4. Hopoate
5. Montoya
6. Foran
7. Frawley
8. Woods
9. Lichaa
10. Klemmer
11. Jackson
12. RFM
13. Elliot

14. Fualalo
15. Tolman
16. Ogden
17. JMK/Brown

We can just throw JMK into 5/8 on the back of 40 mins against a reserve side, he needs to have another good game against Penrith and then maybe should get on the bench as the utility, from there he can try to work his way up. I liked what I saw from Fualalo against the Raiders but I honestly think we need a more ball playing type player out there so Elliot gets the nod and Fualalo will be a beast off the bench. I really rate Ogden and think he should be on the bench.

That No.6 jersey is the only issue we have. None of the guys so far have done a good enough job from what I've seen to make that spot theirs. I'm hoping this weekend sheds some light.

I'm confident Foran can handle the responsibility, so I might be more inclined to go with a younger guy with promise and let him find his feet. In a perfect world, it would be great if Brown, Marshall-King or Lewis stepped up.

Havent seen enough of the young guys to comment. But for mine if Brown has been shithouse at training he'd be the last in the squad. If he isnt putting the effort in at training it will flow on to game day. Poor attitude is what we dont need.
So seems to me Cleeland isnt in many minds now for a start??
Another note, there were talks of Priest getting a spot in the 17, how is he progressing? DOnt know alot about him tbh.

the way i think pay sees it atm

1. Mbye
2 bmoz
3 jmoz
4 hoppa
5 montoya
6. Frawley
7. Foran
8. Klemmer
9. Lichaa
10. Woods
11. Jackson
12. RFM
13. Elliot

14. Tolman
15. Fualolo
16.
17.

i think realistically, despite what some fans may think about certain players, there are 2 spots up for grabs

if he wants a utility, then 1 spot will be either nu brown, cleeland or JMK
if he wants an edge backrower to spell RFM (seems likely unless he pushes elliot out for a stint) then 1 spot will go to martin

if he isn't set on either of these its any of tualau, priest or eastwood. maybe burr but i think the other 3 are more likely options

ogden may get a run later but he 100-1 to be there round 1

i think the 5 middles (klem, woods, elliot, tolman & danny) can easily play the 240 middle minutes required and could even cover it rather well if one of them got injured early, so i'd lean towards a utility and martin personally but i do like the short stint impact value of a guy like tualau

I was starting to think Pay will go with 4 forwards on the bench.

That bench does not fill me with confidence at all.

No backrower on the bench?

Didn't think it was thaaaaat bad (not as bad as that shocker I posted in the Full Metal Racket Thread)..

Was that Brandon Wakeham in it?

Didnt see tolman in any season launch photos. Had the big team photo too. Anyone present at season launch to advise otherwise?

I saw the video.... i highly doubt elliot will be the 12 and RFM the 13... Gotenks will go off his rocket if true....

RFM cant handle the defence and general work load in the middle.

Apart from that. The team is as expected tbh

I would br suprised if frawley or brown go back to reggies by round 5. Survival of the fittest.
