Geez this is a hard task but I'll have a crack
Small BP: I see us not having a lot of options here but I would give first go to Harts just suits our new style well the way he tucks the ball under the arm and runs it out of defence,Newman,Cassa and Humm other options
FB: Has to be Gas but I really think Will will be the man come round 1 2007
3RD Tall: I think we have a few options here but Andy Kellaway surley still deserves to be our best in this role,Moore,Wil,Hall and a few others will get a chance no doubt.
HBF:Joel has made this spot his own in recent years but some would say could be used in other roles but why take the AA away from his spot till someone demands it.Sugar,Newy,Cassa,Jacko im sure will have runs here too.
CHB:Sarge will get first crack,Hall is probally the only other option at this stage depending on the apponents CHF of course.
Wings:Few options here what we really need is somebody to make it there own ,Lids would be perfect as an attacking wingman at this stage of his career being able to use his run and ball carrying abilty along with the fact he is likley to kick 30 plus goals of a wing IMO .Tiva,Hyde are also options here and no doubt will play there at some stage but I think Bling looks like he appreciates the space at this stage of his carrer and I would give him a wing for the first half of the year and see how he gos,Meyer and Raines have to be options as well.
HFF
etts has ernt one flank but would'nt want to drop the pace for a second,P Bowdo im sure will get a chance to be used as a hard working flanker who pushes hard up the ground opening it up behind him he will probally change with the wingers a bit too give them a breather too I see hall playin a similar role too.Brown with fitness will probally push up a bit too and my dark horse to become a permanent HFF D Meyer.be nice to find to flankers who kick 30 plus goals.
CHF:Richo still has to be our best option but I doubt he will play there all the time,Pato,Hall,Sarge,P Bowdo,Simo will all probally play a role here at times.
F P
ue to injury Browny is a good thing to get one pocket.Krak,Rodan,Meyer and maybe even Jon will get opportunitys as crumbing pockets as for the Big pockets Staf,Pato and maybe even Cleve will get a go here.
FF Richo once again has to be our best option here but team balance is a major thing now,Sarge,Staf and Cleve all chances at times.
Ruck: Simo mainly with Knobel to help out and cameos fro Staf and Pato
Midfielders:Cogs,Tuck are walk up starters with rotaions form Sugar,Rodan,Axe,Lids,Bling,Polo,Newy,White and anyone who stands up.
So my team for early 2006 would be something like this
Harts Gas A Kellaway/Wil
Bowdo Sarge Newy/Sugar
Lids Sugar Bling/Meyer
Petts/Meyer Pato P Bowdo
Brown Richo Rodan
Simo Tuck Cogs
I figure there is still a lot of spots up for grabs and its up too each player to grab it with both hands and make it there own
