SOO Teams 2010

It's close, I don't think it's right up there. Fact is he's still averaging half a metre less than the next best there, and over the course of 15 hit ups, that adds up. If he's going to do less work than the others, it should be better each time and it's not. He just seems to always be easily wrapped up by the defence. I'm not saying it's an incurable problem, but it's certainly something he needs to work on.

Look don't get me wrong, I like Nick Kenny but to say that he should be starting in an origin match is nuts. He would get absolutely monstered in the early encounters and he seems to be the sort of player that needs to get off to a good start to be able to have any impact at all on a game. Yes he's been our form prop, but as has been said I think that's more a reflection on the state of our props (and simple lack of them really) at the moment.

I don't see how the claims that Kenny would be monstered can be justified. No one is mentioning the rubbish that he will be playing against, nor who he would have alongside him at any point in the game. I think he would be a good addition.

Also I forgot to mention Brad Meyers. I think he's been pretty consistently good over the last season and a half.

You do make a salient point gUt! [icon_lol1.

Even if it wasn't the case, I just think there's simply too many guys ahead of him to even rate a mention.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Nick Kenny IMO would get completely dominated in an Origin match. He runs very upright and gets smashed alot in club games.

 

[Professor47]

I like Kenny - I think he's a great club prop but origin I want someone with a bit more to their game.

Whether it is experience, leadership, aggression etc.

Which is why I think the Broncs could use another prop with a bit of a X factor or a big unit.

 

[gUt]

So, Brad Meyers?

 

[Je$ter]

Civo
Price
Hannant
Scott
Shillington
Kenny - Meyers

Imo I think that is how the props stand atm.

 

[QUEENSLANDER]

Myles can play prop too, id have him about a few of them

 

[Meat77]

I'm sure Taylor's name will feature in the bench prop discussion too even though he isn't setting the world on fire at Souths

Maybe he should sign somewhere else, that seems to fire him up for no apparent reason.

1. Boyd
2. Tuguri

13. Luck

14. Slater
15. Hannant
16. Shillington
17. Taylor

Do the old switcharoo with Slater coming on for Boyd or have Slater hanging around the ruck.

I just feel that Boyd is a safer defensively and wont through passes to the touchie. Could it work to have both on the field not sure

He's proven time and again he has a choke in him for big games and darius would be handy to be there to cop the early battering they'd be itching to give slater - bring him on late 20's early 30's to upset those tiring forwards - plus if Tiquiri can't take the full 80, Darius is there to take the weight (or when Prince (if he is picked) goes down)

The only problem with this is that Slater is such a bad dummy half - so that limits the impact he would have from the bench

 

[QUEENSLANDER]

omg... just coz the switching worked with hunt and slater doesnt mean it will work again, especially with boyd. it worked with hunt coz they planned on playing him in the backrow. u dont go into a game with 2 fullbacks with the intention of moving around the backline! u put a utility on the bench, or have a starting back that can move into the forwards. boyd cannot play 2nd row or lock, so its a horrible idea

 

[QUEENSLANDER]

on tonights game tho, thaiday and myles would have to be nearly the 2 in form second rowers. usually nsw has a better backrow, but thaiday and myles are going to give em a run for their money

 

[The Brizz]

Yeah and Harrison has started well for the Titans, our backrow in general looks pretty solid right now.

 

[Bucking Beads]

If Cronk is halfback who will take the utility spot????

Chillax dude just an idea to cover for slater's brain explosions

I think we don't need one regardless of whether Cronk is in the halves or not. Harrison can play a second receiver role if the worst happens and a 6,7,9 gets hurt.
