Being completely objective:
WESTS-BALMAIN
NORTH QUEENSLAND
NEWCASTLE
PARRAMATTA
GOLD COAST
MELBOURNE
NEW ZEALAND
ST.GEORGE-ILLAWARRA
MANLY
CANTERBURY
SYDNEY
BRISBANE
CRONULLA-SUTHERLAND
SOUTH SYDNEY
CANBERRA
PENRITH
I just can't see our outside backs competing this year. We are relying too much on the likes of Kennedy & Masoe staying fit to ensure consistent prop go-forward (both are severely injury prone and imho will miss chunks of the season).
I am a big fan of Pearcey but working with Anasta in the halves does not get the best out of him at all - Mortimer might be the go there. First injury that comes up in the back row this year i would get Braithy Boy the f**k out of the halves and into the No.11 or 12 unless Cherro is ready to go. If Cherro is ready to go, perhaps Anasta can instead be eased into a permanent 80 minute position on a 5 man bench. He can bark orders, sip gatorade and perform his inspirational captain schtik from there.
Friend to win player of the year by a large margin.
SKD and Leilua to battle it out for top try scorer.
JWH to spend a total of 8 weeks throughout the year suspended.
Moga to show plenty of promise but miss the back end of the season injured due to the rigours of 1st grade.
Btw, who the hell is going to convert tries if Anasta goes down with injury? Pearce? Aubusson?
Smith's coaching position to remain under a dark cloud throughout the year - though he will not be replaced until the off-season. His replacement will be either Matthew Elliot, Craig Bellamy or Mick Potter.
On a positive note, the Saints and the Rabbits will both have ordinary seasons!
At the end of the day - 2013 we will compete for a top 5 spot. 2012 is yet another f**king 'rebuilding year' it seems
Does anyone else want to have a go?
