2016 depth

[coreyh88]

Let's think about the team come origin. We no longer have the lowries or Staggs so the young guys should get a run.
We will lose moose, parker, thaiday and gillett in the forwards.
That's four positions, esse esse is first in, then tpj, then arrow and i guess sua. All of our guys that are knocking down the door should get a run. It will look something like this

8. Blair
9. Knik
10. Wallace
11. Glenn
12. Sua
13. Arrow

14.offa
15. Esse esse
16. Tpj
17. Waddell

I would chose to keep some experience on the bench. I think wallace and blair will work together better than offa and blair. Arrow also lends himself to starting. Who gets 12 is the one i'm unsure on.

Macca will be back before Origin 1, I'd say we'll play it safe and go with something like -

1. Kahu
2. Eden
3. Reed
4. Roberts
5. Seve
6. Milford
7. Hunt (c)
8. Wallace
9. McCullough
10. Blair
11. Glenn
12. Greinke
13. Ofahengaue

14. Ese'ese
15. Pangai
16. Boyce
17. Nikorima

12. Greinke
13. Ofahengaue

14. Ese'ese
15. Pangai
16. Boyce
17. Nikorima

I'd say that's a pretty likely line up. Unless Su'a gets a run at the expense of Boyce? Unlikely but possible.

Maranta was due back round 14 I think, so potentially he might be back a week ahead too.

Greinke got released so scratch him from the list

 

[coreyh88]

Im likely mistaken, but I thought Boyce was injured.

 

[Unbreakable]

Im likely mistaken, but I thought Boyce was injured.

Injury: Shoulder
Injured In: Round 6 (for Souths-Logan Magpies in the Intrust Super Cup)
Expected Time Out: Indefinite

Looking forward to another premiership this season. Our weakness, as I see it is a lack of depth. If we have a top 17 along the lines of;
1.Boyd
2.Oates
3.Reed
4.Roberts
5.Kahu
6. Milf
7. Hunt
8.Moose
9.Macca
10.Blair
11.Gillet
12.Glenn
13.Parker
14.Joe O
15.Sammy
16.Wallace
17.Nik

we have little NRL experience in reserve.Waddell has 73 games, Maranta 62, Molo 6 & Essese & Boyce 1 each.(If my research is right). Not much there, particularly in key positions. A couple of injuries plus a probable high representation during origin are a concern. Of course is we stay fit this ceases to be an issue. In my experience, if we have a below average injury toll, particularly to 1,6,7 & 9 we play on GF day.

Sorry to harp on here people but I reckon this has bitten us on the a**e lately.

Doesn't help when the depth gets injured on debut.
