It will be interesting to see how the two ex parra fullbacks go against each other. I think we look like a very strong side more than capable of starting the season off very well indeed.

Two weaknesses I can see with this team. The defence on one side of the field with Mitchell and Tupou standing next to each other....the other side not much better. The lack of go forward from Aubusson and Guerra. This puts a lot of pressure on Cornder to help out the front rowers in this area. I would have Liu starting at lock.

Here is my team , Tupou and Guerra miss out. I am happy to be proven wrong on Tupou.
I want to see Manu and Mitchell together , my only concern would be that Manu might never pass it to Mitchell except for the odd flick pass
But Mitchell can slot into fullback in attack if he is hungry for something to do.
I think Matterson will have a break out year , fitness and confidence this year.
Carter is the mongrel we need.
Watson will put pressure on everyone for a run on spot, I'd put him at 5/8 , but we'll see how Keary goes.- Fullback 1 Michael Gordon
- Winger 2 Blake Ferguson
- Centre 3 Shaun Kenny-Dowall
- Centre 4 Joseph Manu
- Winger 5 Latrell Mitchell
- Five-eighth 6 Luke Keary
- 7 Halfback 7 Mitchell Pearce
- Prop 8 Jared Waerea-Hargreaves
- Hooker 9 Jake Friend (c)
- Prop 10 Dylan Napa
- 2nd Row 11 Boyd Cordner (c)
- 2nd Row 12 Ryan Matterson
- Lock 13 Paul Carter
INTERCHANGE- 14Isaac Liu
- 15 Kane Evans
- 16 Mitchell Aubusson
- 17 Connor Watson

Need a more mongrel bench than that .Guerra will be in the side.
On paper we have a very decent side including a very good bench opetions(21) Robinson technically like to build his side up as the season begins so I dont know what to expect first few rounds.
With the new players and combos he has going to have to rely on magnifying the defence .Strong kicking game with a bit of adlib footy.Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe

Yes unfortunately Guerra will be in the side
And we will have to watch it. I hope I'm wrong about him , but last season he was terrible , in the nines he was terrible.
He must have nude photos of Trent or something , otherwise he'd be at Wyong all season.

Its a great team, I really can't find a reason why not one of those players does not deserve to be there.....
Watson & Matterson are the key coming off the bench with a quick utility and a versatile back rower would could play anywhere. That will confuse the Titans alot as it is a also a line up that has strike power from 1 to 17.

He was returning from injury. I stand by my comment. Of course he can play at lock - he won't though.Originally posted by jism
I saw Reynolds crying in front of me after the game and yelled out 'WHAT ARE YOU CRYING ABOUT?!?!? GO SAY SORRY TO COOPER YOU GRUB!!!' He looked up at me with a pretty broken looking face.

I'm concerned about the lack of skill amongst the wingers and centres. A simple draw and pass is a 50/50 prospect for all 4. Plus LM has never played centre at this level before. Defensively the combinations between the wingers and centres aren't very good.
