Montoya will be playing in the centres in 2019 apparently.

So Montoya and Holland in the centres with Crichton and Smith on the wings and Hoppa out the back.

But I don’t see why Pay would unsettle the Holland/Smith combo for the unknown when It’s a proven success.

Montoya shouldn't be anywhere near the first grade side to start the season.

I really doubt the back line is anywhere near settled yet. Smith and Hoppa are the only locked in spots at this point for mine and who knows where Hoppa plays.

You put Danny F in front of Martin? Surely not.

Is anyone else not sold on Sue? I think he has to start in ISP and work his way into NRL.

He struggled to cement a spot on the bench in a ordinary Tigers pack and he's fighting it out with Renouf and Ogden for the bench prop spot.

I can't help but think it's an Antonio Kaufusi type signing. Experienced campaigner for the younger ISP guys to learn off?

I tend to agree he will be good to have for depth and experience but he's no where near a walk up start in the 17.

Anyone with Woolford in their team can take him out he just posted a story on his Instagram taking his name off his locker saying that’s a wrap. He won’t be here next year.

I like Montoya but it would be fucking stupid to have him replace Jmoz in the centres, he doesn't have the skills required at all and it eliminates the best part of his game which is his ability under the high ball. Harper needs to be in the team, whether on the wing or centre.

For me the most pleasing thing about 2019 is the number players completing for positions, so they will be giving it all.

Martin plays on the edge. Danny is prop you cant carry an edge backrower on the bench.
You can't carry a team without a 96% strike rate for extra two points either...or ...a coach would be boxed around the head if we frequently lose games by less than 6. Holland not in the same class.

Someone has to go to interchange prop so Martin can play.

There wouldn't be a footy coach anywhere who would play Danny and not Martin if the choice had to be made.

If we can't find a spot for Martin then we certainly can't for Sue. Don't care what position they traditionally play...they're all forwards. Tolman and Graham only small so old theories no longer as valid as they were. It depends on the adaptability of the player.

The backline options are a major worry. The options include Crichton, Holland, Harper, Smith, Montoya, Hopoate. FFS, theres not a tackler in the lot of them.
I only hope CHN is put there. Smith and Crichton probably cover the wings, but the centres are a mess.

You are seriously are the worst judge of rugby league I have ever read.
Not objective at all and frankly no clue.
