He made a few crucial errors for the Raiders last year, but hey I will take him over Beale any day of the week. Dangerous in attack.

Bit of extra pace on the wing. If there were no injuries I guess Beale might miss out

He was woeful against us but players go through that. Coote was shocking this finals series too but was unreal in their premiership year. If we can get the best out of him he will be a real asset.

Don't rate Lee he's lazy and prone to mistakes. That being said if he has signed he's in our top 2 wingers which is really sad.

Not counting Val obviously.

He'l be fine . Big game Nerves might have got the best of him last year .
Tall and can catch a bomb .
In the same elite speed range as Roberts ( see my Lee footage below )
Might need work on defense and seems a left side winger at the Raiders.
Anyone know if he's had a dig at the right side ?

I'm thinking that, with his height, they'll have to place him at the centre of the back row in this year's premiership photo.

Size and Speed , just starting to get to prime age .
A try every 2nd game on average .
What's not to like , provided he can play outside a cunning centre in Bird and the BOTH learn defend well together .
That will be Flanno's challenge .

Big year for our halves this year. They'll be under massive pressure.

 

[slide rule]

We've replaced Barba with a really good player.

Danny Lee should get a few on the wing replacing Val.

Hooker is a concern but whoever replaces Ennis should be able to contribute.

 

[slide rule]

Also, I thought I read somewhere that both Maloney and Townsend had 16 try assists? I can't be ****ed looking it up.

 

[hitman124]

Who's coming down to Melbourne on April 9th for the ultimate bragging rights?????

Good work. :good:

Lad?

 

[HaroldBishop]

Unsure why so many so-called experts have Parra improving and finishing in the 8. Will be a tonne of pressure on Norman, I don't see Gutherson doing much in the halves and French at the back is unproven.

 

[snowman]

they would have finished in the 8 last year if they didn't lose their points though, so it isn't really a big step up

plus, their forward pack is better, French may stay on the wing as well as they signed hoffman

I think emotion played a part in their form last year after they lost points. We'll see I guess, would be nice to see them make it for 2010.
