Who will Robbo pick for 2016?

[Number9]

At the end of the day I have faith in Robbo, he has done very well with his players.
Fullback is still very much up in the air obviously.

My team at this stage is.

• Fergo
• Tupou
• Jenko
• SKD
• Burgess/Mitchell/Elliot (In order of likelihood.)
• Hastings
• Pearce
• JWH
• Friend
• Moa
• Guerra
• Cordner
• Take
• Nikorima
• Aubo
• Napa
• Evans

18. Liu

IMO this is the most likely. Training Mitchell on the wing to become full time FB in 2017.

Your fuel cap is loose.

I guess your team may be close to the mark, barring the unforeseen.
Liu is unlucky, and I don't like SKD back in the centres.
If Mitchell is to be fast tracked, they may as well play him in his usual position, which coincidently is where we're lacking.

I would say the OP's list is pretty close imo.

[Kingsgrove-Loiner]

I'd like to see Isaac Liu in the somewhere. Nikorima will have to impress pre season if he's to force his way in IMO.

17th or 18th man doesn't mean shit. We will use a lot more than that before the season is over.

There is an article in the Daily Telegraph saying Nikorima is going to be our new Craig Wing for what its worth;

He looks like Sandor Earl

Heeeey there's a FB option if we can pay for his appeal and get him off. He'd fit right in with Fergo and Meehan.

Nikorima has no choice but to impress. We've shelled out for him, we can use Aubo on the bench if we need to so I don't see Nikorima getting too many chances TBH. IMO he's taking Liu's spot in the 17 (but if it were up to me it would be Guerra's spot).

I'd like to see Liu given the opportunity to own a backrow spot. I think his game could easilly grow enough and let's see what that confidence brings out in him.

Couldn't agree more.

Kegs, I think you might have forgotten a few things. With an 8 man interchange, there will be more opportunities to exploit tired forwards with a liverwire off the interchange bench, similar to the role Craig Wing played when he started out. It is also strange when you and others talk about a need to change up our attack but don't understand that this guy is part of the solution to do that.

Do tell...

I covered the fact that with the interchange rule revision there is even less excuse for our 'livewire' not to hit the ground running. I'm sure he will be given every opportunity by the coach but not to the point of excuse, unless you see it differently? Notice that I 'd field what I see as the most dynamic back row we can in Cords and Maubs, and SST at 13 with Lui and Nikorima coming off the bench who I'd hope could develop an understanding of sorts between them...

Do I have it covered sport?

Liu started at the beginning of the year. Didn't last.

Much like you at the Preliminary Final....

Fullback is probably equal most important position in the team with Number 9 and Half. Why not Pearce at one year at Fullback. After all he has butchered the halfback spot for 8 years, one year at Fullback aint gonna hurt...
