[Slippery]

Does anyone think we can take the GF with this team?

With a bit of luck, and very few injuries, I don't see why we can't.

My Team

Patten
El Masri
Idris
Morris
Utai
Roberts
Kimmorely
Hannant
Ennis
Hodgson
Ryan
Stagg
Holdsworth

Sullivan
Kite
Te Mari
Gordon

I know this will not be popular and it could be why I am not a selector, but I would like to see holdsworth at lock

I think we are living in a fantasy world if we think we can do any better then just making the top 8, there is no impact ball runner in the back row & the wingers still are a weak point under the high ball, it will be bombs away again this year for our wingers. We will be better but letsot set unrealistic expectations.

[Bob dog]

It would be good to have some impact off the bench later in the first half.

 

[Allan]

Whatever happened to Michael Sullivan? He didn't set the world on fire last year but we were told all year it was because Folkes didn't use him. Is he any good? He was supposed to be the big hope last year.

holdsworth cant tackle, and dosent have the killer instinct you need in the forwards. he's a bit of a cat, you can see it when he is in a 1 on 1 contest for a ball on the ground etc. so there is No way he should play lock. he had a go in the back row under folkes and was hopeless.

stag was promised the lock spot before he signed up...... so theres no way koups will get it ahead of stagg. stags played origin and won a GF. koups would be a better impact player off the bench anyway. with his size and ball skills, he could potentially be the next Darryl Brohman......

Folkes used to bring a name player off the bench, we still dont have an Asotasi like we used to.

 

[Gaddy]

Ok - I have listened to all views and watched the team at training and the following deserve to run on round 1

1 Patten
2 El Masri
3 Idris
4 Morris
5 Utai
6 Roberts
7 Kimmorely
8 Hannant
9 Ennis
10 Armit
11 Koups
12 Ryan
13 Stagg

14 Sullivan
15 Hodgo
16 Kite
17 Gordon

Barba is not ready yet, still lazy at training
Nanai straight in for on of the Wingers if they fail, prefer him with Idris.
Morrin needs to be LRO

 

[pabpac]

I like your team Gaddy. I'd probably start with Hodgson & have Armit on the bench & have Te Maari instead of Gordon.

We haven't signed Crocker. Don't believe any little thing you read in the paper. Honestly

Trials will be interesting to say the least.

I'm really expecitng a big year from Lee Tee Maari. To me, when he puts his mind on the job, his a good player. He needs to stop worrying about being flash and do the hard stuff before hand. If he learns to stop pushing the offloads and push them when it's on, Plus play with the mongrel we saw towards the end of the season, I have no doubt he will have a good chance at getting into the NZ side this year.

Big Wrap on him I know, But I see the potential and his really got to step up.
