Your 2009 Team (merged)

[w00t]

kite will be given his chance...koups is facing off against guys like te maari and warburton and etc.

i never said you said that...what you said implied that koups and kite will directly competing for a bench spot, and i replied by saying it was false on the basis they are completely different players playing in different positions. Whats mason got to do with anything?

Kite would be a worse second rower than Koups who's proven himself in that position, hence no, unless you're suggesting that you play kite out of position. Koups deserves a shot as well and he has proven himself in his first few FG games, bar 2008

Top side

except i would have barba in there instead of sullivan
or we could wait a bit until barba is ready like moore said then utilise him.

 

[Duffman25]

Yeh u'd probably put in warburton/koups or conrad instead of sullivan and play stagg or koups at dummy half if need be.

Although Moore will probably have hodgson in the run on side and leaeno on the bench instead of kite.

17. ???

 

[sonia]

so idris is def. shoe inf or the other centre positon. he's palyed both trials and centre and thats prolly a good indicationn

 

[aarooni]

im predicting a mass of tries this year...hopefully for us.

 

[astroboy]

Looks like Holdsworth will be playing NSW Cup this year.

 

[Allan]

One thing certain about a year in RL is that everyone will get a chance. From there it's up to them.

 

[_G-Dog_]

Going by the articles Moore has been quoted that both Hazem and Roberts will start...

All that leaves is a starting 2nd row spot and the bench...

1. Patten
2 El Masri
3. Morris
4. Idris
5. Utai
6. Roberts
7. Kimmorley
8. Hannant
9. Ennis
10. Hodgson
11. ? Warburton
12. Ryan
13. Stagg
14. Armit
15. ? Te Maari
16. ? Sullivan
17. ? Gordon/Conrad/Leano

From what I heard so far I doubt Moore will start the season with Kite in FG

 

[Bob dog]

I would like to see big Charlie get more games and see if we can make him hit hard all day.
