2018 roosters positions

[Kelby]

good team,

Hope Vuna gets a few runs

I think he will, specially around origin. Napa and Boyd will be out. That means my 18 and 19 will move up.

[Guest]

My top team at this stage would be:



1. Tedesco
2. Tupou
3. Mitchell
4. Manu
5. Ferguson
6. Keary
7. Cronk
8. JWH
9. Friend
10. SST
11. Cordner
12. Aubo
13. Liu

14. Tetevano
15. Napa
16. Matterson
17. Radley

Reserves:

18. Reece Robinson
19. Bernard Lewis
20. Paul Momirovski
21. Mitch Cornish
22. Lindsay Collins
23. Eloni Vunakece
24. Chris Smith
25. Nat Butcher

That looks about right to me, with Vunakeci pushing Tetavano big time.

Why? Is there something we don’t know?
Eloni is not strong enough defensively to hold a permanent NRL spot and his handling is also average (not that this seems relevant to Roosters first graders).

I like the guy. He plays at 100 miles an hour and tries his hardest but I think we would need to be pretty low on troops for him to get an NRL gig.

Even when desperate for a centre late this year Fergo was kept on the wing. Second rowers were preferred at centre to him. Fergo is a winger and a winger only despite what this article states.

Agreed. His decisions in defence need to be kept to a minimum. He has proven he is not up to centre defensively.

Ha in that photo he's getting beaten on the outside by matto, classic fergo.

I don’t know man - I like what I see in him. Runs hard, fit and powerful. Was really good for Fiji in WC.
