What a reply wow. I agree with all of it the Moylan vs milf is an extremely tough one but personally I’d go with milf only because of his boot, it’s still a coin flip though.

A double team list, side-by-side comparison that goes on to spawn a single, combined team list?!?
Someone check on
Sproj. It’s likely he’s passed out from all the blood rushing to one single part of his body.

Hetherington has been great in cup this year, don’t want to give him up as I can see him becoming a great bench middle for us. Paix maybe but can’t see Melbourne being keen for that.

How do you leave Wade Graham out of a combined team?

If they do, it should be more of a reserve grade. Allow up to 5 or 6 players allowed to be older than 20.

I thought it had already been approved (to bring back reserve grade) .......but , I could be wrong(?)

I am of the opinion that a successful team generally needs at least two players capable of ball playing in the spine. If you look at the top teams, they have this.
If reports are to be believed our future spine would line up:
1. Isaako (runner, that does need even have basic support play).
6. Staggs (runner)
7. Reynolds (organiser, decent ball play)
9. Turpin (doesnt really excel in any area other than effort).
That spine creates very little for outside backs and is mainly dependent on tackle breaks to score (which teams with good defensive structures do not provide regularly).
Hynes/dufty are realistic and affordable options that provide support play and that ability to ball play and can do those sweeping plays with cut out passes to wingers that were our bread and butter in past years. Are either elite or even long term options, perhaps not but i think they (or similar type of player) would provide a better balance for our spine and team.
Regarding hynes being a benefactor of being in the storm structures, it is true he looks better in a storm team than a struggling team but he has also demonstrated his skills and that he is more than capable in ISC (even when he was the cutters playing in the halves). Yes papenhuyzen is better (and someone i suggested in 2018 when we were still running boyd) and we should make papenhuyzen an offer, even if only to make melbourne pay more.
If we were to get hodgson then you could probably run isaako at one (if he improves his support play and urgency at the back) because we would have another ball player in the spine.

He's now injury prone (has barely played in the last 3yrs) and I was comparing number to number so it was Graham vs TPJ.
Wasn't doing a combined best 17... but even if it was he just takes Nikora's spot and it's still the same split of Broncos to Sharks

Cronulla upped their offer on Reynolds to be 50k above ours, that is what they were saying last night on NRL 360
Cronulla need him just as desperately as we do

I just can't see us actually signing Reynolds. He is exactly what we need but is also exactly what Cronulla need so I can't see why he would leave Sydney when surely he can get the same offer from Cronulla.
I know the talk is that we are now the favourites but I just can't see us being able to land this which is a real shame because that one signing would completely change the team both in terms of play and the ability to attract other players. Signing him would have us back in the 8 next year and competing for the 4 regularly again by the year after, he is that important IMO.

The only thing in our favor right now is that Cronulla are getting spanked every week, they even got done by the Bulldogs a few weeks back and I know they won a comp more recently than we did but Cronulla is a team that has historically struggled.
He can at least see that the guys are putting in for Kevvie, who knows what they'll do under Fitzgibbon, just because a coach comes through the right systems doesn't mean he will be a great coach. Adam O'Brien is case and point on that.

It's funny that 2 trash coaches that come from great systems are now both at the Knights.

Careful our Kevvie came through that system as well.
