2013 Lineup Thread

[Born&bred]

What Id like to see:

Gards
Ryan
Pom
Gordon
J.Wright
Carney
Townsend
Ross
Degois
Gibbs
Gal
Tupou
Lewis

Fafita
Bakuya
Graham
Tagatese

What I think Flanno will pick:
Gordon
Ryan
Pom
J. Wright
M.Wright/Stapo
Carney
Robson
Gibbs
Degois
Ross
Lewis
Heinington
Gallen

Fafita
Tupou
Graham
Morris

Don't mind your "like to see" team 1 - 13. I still think M Gordon would be better on the wing than centre, if we play gards at fb, and if that's the case I think Ricky would kill it at centre.

I'd also start Graham over Tupou, but after that we only have one prop on the bench.

For what it's worth here's my team for 2013:

1. Gardner
2. M. Gordon
3. Pomeroy
4. J. Wright
5. Ryan
6. Carney
7. Robson
8. Gibbs
9. De Gois
10. Ross
11. Lewis
12. Heighington
13. Gallen

14. Fifita
15. Graham
16. Morris
17. Tupou

18. Bukuya
19. Stapleton
20. Leutele
21. Mills
22. M. Wright
23. Townsend
24. Taufua
25. Tagatease
26. Green? ( he staying?)

Found it really hard to leave out bukuya, maybe he could take toops place
On the bench.
I think this is our strongest team avaiable for round 1.

Tupou

Sadly this is how i think it will go down. My only problem with flanno is that he goes for experience every time.

I don't really understand his plan he says he wants to make the 8 every year but he seems to be putting all his eggs in one basket with buying and sticking with the older players
what happens when this group of players retire?

 

[Timmyb22]

I dont see why anyone would put robson over townsend and i dont see how bukuya is out for tupou, yes bukuya hit a form slump but he had more good games than tupou percentage wise

 

[Opeth]

i agree with you but flanno loves his experienced players.

You've only got 1 prop on the bench - fail.

I think jonathan wright lacks a bit of size and power for a centre? Esp defensively

[A.Snowden]

Anyone that names Matt wright in the centres has **** for brains.

 

[A.Snowden]

Just a quick on from my iphone.

1. N. Gardner/ M. Gordon
2. B. Ryan
3. M. Gordon/ R. Leautele
4. B. Pomeroy
5. J. Wright
6. T. Carney
7. C. Townsend
8. B. Gibbs
9. I. Degois
10. B. Ross
11. C Heighington
12. L. Lewis
13. P. Gallen (c)

14. J. Morris
15. A. Fifita
16. W. Graham
17. J. Bukuya

18. A. Tupou

For those who say the bench is light with the crab as the only prop. Once the other boys come on Gallen plays prop.

 

[timber]

We only has one prop on the bench for 90% of the year. Check it.
Gal would go to prop when graham came on.

 

[deano the p]

I agree with your side S1.

 

[Matty C of the Shire]

Haha just an option and my opinion. It's like putting gards there when we have the likes of Gordon in the team

 

[A.Snowden]

At least Gards is a specialised fullback. And I put him in his best position. Wright just ain't a winger and is yet to play centre. But from what I've seen he won't be any better there than what he played at fullback. Wright misses out on a spot in the team next year for mine. And he is the sort of depth quality we need to be able to just come in and cover if desperate.

 

[Gards]

Anyone that names Matt wright in the centres has **** for brains.

And anyone who doesn't keep Ricky L in the centres can be added to that list

 

[josh11223344]

Anybody who consistently picks apart peoples teams also.

 

[Gards]

1. M. Gordon
2. J. Wright
3. Pomeroy
4. Leutele
5. Ryan
6. Carney
7. Robson
8. Gibbs
9. De Gois
10. Ross
11. Graham
12. Gallen
13. Lewis

14. Fifita
15. Taufua
16. Bukuya
17. Tupou

 

[sharks2010]

And Robson

 

[bluey]

I dont see why anyone would put robson over townsend and i dont see how bukuya is out for tupou, yes bukuya hit a form slump but he had more good games than tupou percentage wise

Because at present he is a better halfback like it or not tis true.
