I know we have a trade and draft period to come and with all injuries mended how could our team look next year when up and running.(With everyone back to their best).Will then give us a look at surplus players and holes in our side.
B. polo thurs jb surplus ; kella,harts ,moore, gas
hb newman pb tuck howat,casserly,jon,mcguane
c lids raines bling meyer,roach,tivvers
hf pett shultz browny hughes
ff foley richo hyde limbach,rodan,jacko,
rck simmo,patto graham,hall,knobel
mid cogs,kane, krack.white
Gone for sure: chaff, staff, In trouble: gas, tivvers,jacko
In summary:
Very injury prone backline
Patty Bowden or k moore(one has to stand up next year and make chb his own not little cameos.)Thursfield will take time to come thru after the knee injury.But you'd like to think,Wallace could go to patty and say set yourself early son for chb.Patty would have got a heap of confidence out of this year.Kellaway will be needed for one more year to plug holes and do the brave things. Kelvin will be on his last legs for sure. He will need to get fit ,keep fit,and hold down a spot or his career will be gone.McGuane has to start making a spot in the team his as well.
Gas imo will probabley be gone tis year.Harts would like to see him have a huge preseason,stay fit, and play the role raines played this year, taking them on and having a bounce.
Centre line
Tambling,raines,Delidio
Say no more, the future is arriving quickly.Would love to see Rainsy given a run through the centre pumping it into the 50.Even the next few weeks!
forward line
The depth is growing, petts shultz and browny back to his best,looks a very solid half forward line.With richo up forward taking the best backman,will make it easier for hughes and limbach to come in and play some good cameos next year and get some valuable game time for the future.
The rucks
Looks solid again, with simmo and patto,with hall to be used in an emergency.However would be good to see some one like wood from bris traded for to add a bit of depth.We could then trade knobel.
Mids
I think we'll have to keep looking in the draft for more quality mids, we don't have an over supply.
