2019 Line up

[BurgoShark]

Bad hands are bad hands though. If he hasn't got that **** sorted by 21 I doubt he ever will.

What I should have said is that he pushes passes or forces offloads too often. He needs to pick his moments. He doesn’t have a problem in general with catching and holding the footy.

Agreed, watched alot of Newtown this year and he pushes the offload way too often and often when his team mate isn't ready or expecting it and it ends up being a knock on or the opposition swoops on it.

Not convinced he's a first grader though, maybe another season with the Jets.

 

[BurgoShark]

I'll throw Kennedy in there as a smokey on the wing. IMO his season in NSW Cup last year was every bit as good as Isaako's 2017 in the Qld Cup. Isaako was a 1/6 until this year. No reason why Kennedy can't learn to play on the wing.

 

[Tiger Shark]

He played a bit of hooker too off the bench with SG Ball and he's played halves so he'd be able to play wing.

Matty Prior had butter fingers when he first came to us, so I guess anything’s possible

They’ve got Kyle and Fifita mixed up. Other than that the only ones we weren’t sure on already were Kennedy, Nikora and Lumelume. Will update those blokes in the signings thread once something a bit more interested happens

What’s the go with Xerri? Have any of the photos shown him training on the wing? Wonder if it would be best to blood him on the wing. Would benefit him if he is asked to play centre because of injuries

I feel pretty confident he'll get a wing spot. Whether or not thats better than him playing cup in the centres I'm not sure.

[HaroldBishop]

Xerri to get first crack when there's an in jury in the backs.

 

[deano the p]

I'd be starting the year:
1) Moylan
2) Feki
3) Dugan
4) Morris
5) Katoa
6) Johnson
7) Townsend
8) Fifita
9) Brailey
10) Prior
11) Capewell
12) Bukuya
13) Gallen

14) Flanagan (Hopefully Brailey is ready or we sign someone, I don't like this option)
15) Woods
16) Williams
17) Soronson (Someone mentioned he has had a bit of time at hooker so I'd potentially bring him into 14 & put Ava or Uele here. I have no idea if he's capable of the Paulo role though)

 

[ben]

I was thinking Xerri before Katoa. I didnt think Katoa was that impressive. But I'm guessing Xerri will be in the team for Dugan within the first few rounds. Injury prone.

 

[snowman]

Xerri will get a wing spot
