This is how i would set up my team going forward,
first up there would be no squibs in the back half - Hall, *smile*, tuck & johnson for the muscle and hartigan & thirsty to run
Richo starts on a wing then drops back as loose man in defence, meyer moves into to richos wing leaving us only 5 fwds - meyer & raines just run & deliver all day
Bowden plays a roaming CHF - the astronaught good in space should be able to find plenty
Stafford stays deep in the square as a long option, foley stays down at his feet for crumbs and chase of the rebounders
Hughes & Brown are our smartest leads, they just read the play and lead to the right spots, no richo in the fwd line so they would be our 2 go to men with staff as the long option
Deledio in the guts for pace and newman (my new captain) for hardness and skill
interchange is all about run and pace with 4 speedsters
as for the game plan, we go through the middle, we run from behind and go long, to either bowden or over his head, wide leads are ignored and we drop it on staffords head at the top of the square if there is no one on
If our oponent disposes of the ball we bring them down (stopping them fom linking again and running off)
*smile*, Johnson, tuck, hall & richo are all introduced to the hip & shoulder - this forms a major KPI from our backline (we may not have the quickest, smoothest or most skilled backline - but we be known for the toughest)

B: Johnson *smile* Hartigan
HB: Tuck Hall Thursfield
C: Raines Coughlan Richo
HF: Foley Bowden.J Meyer
F: Brown Stafford Hughes

R: Simmons Deledio Newman

IC: White, Casserly, Tambling, JON
 
I'm sorry to say, the last straw was Friday night, and I can clearly state that there are some boys on that list Tango, that do not understand the term, 'Playing for the jumper'.

A minimum of 6 players have been given that opportunity for way too long.
 
I have a better idea, lets get emelio estevez and form the flying V


NEWMAN                                     HARTIGAN
             TUCK           COUGLHAN
                      RICHO

They can run in a wave from one end to the other, knocking defenders out of the way and passing the ball back to each other as they complete their surge through the middle of the ground.

Probably the best idea I have gotten this year (well apart from lying on the warm concrete after getting out of a swimming pool after a cool change to dry myself)
