Sir Chadley
Jaws
Now that Dosit has finally broken the news that Pearce is off to Manly, it would seem our squad for 2018 is done, except maybe for a few minor additions.
So, let's put together some thoughts on what we think 2018 will bring.
Copy and paste my questions and answers to the following:
1. Expected 2018 finish:
Top 8. As poor a season he had we are going to miss Maloney's kicking game and goal scoring. I don't think Moylan can kick and we know Chad is hot and cold. This aspect alone counts us out of top 4 in my opinion.
2. Top try scorer and point scorer:
My money's on Val, whether wing or fullback. I think he'll improve on 2017. I think he'll kick the goals too, so he's our top point scorer.
3. Biggest surprise packet:
Ava Seumanufagai. I reckon a change of scene is going to do wonders. I think he'll be great impact off the bench and be a crowd favourite.
4. Hooker rotation:
Do we rotate our hooker or have Brailey play 80 mins. I think the kid can do it but I also think Flanno will pick Seggy every week.
5. Best new face:
Josh Dugan. He has his detractors but the guy is fast and strong. Can't pass but I don't reckon he'll need to. If he stays fit I think he'll challenge Val for Top try scorer.
6. The Methuselah Award
Which of our veteran players is going to shine?
At some stage, he's going to hit 37 but I think Gal will still be a force in 2018. Anyone want to bet he'll play on in 2019?
7. Can we win the comp?
No. I think we're still a player or two short and without making the top 4 it's going to be tough.
We'll be up there and be in contention but I think it'll be a repeat of 2017.
