It's my first article, comments appreciated...agree with the top 17?

Good, solid article.
17 looks the goods

[Guest]

Well done. sounds pretty right to me.

Cheers

Not sure about Symonds as starting lock. I don't think he would be top 17 ATM...

Symonds is my only concern PtB, as well.
Giving him the benefit of the doubt & hopefully will have a great year.

Great article Adam! I must agree with PTB about Symonds not being in the top 17 though. Also saying that Pearce and Anasta are one of the best halves pairing is stretching it a bit. You could argue that the Storm, Manly, Warriors, Cowboys, Tigers and possibly even Sharks (depending on Carney's form) have better halves pairings.

Storm - yep
Manly - beware second year sydrome
Warriors - see Manly
Cowboys - do they have a halfback - oh thats right the extradition papers are currently being drawn up
Tigers - Moltzen is unproven at 7
Sharks - last call for alcohol - happy hour is now in force by law (thanks DKs)

I think this year is wide open.

Good write up.

But Idon't think that is anywhere near our best team. The backline is too slow with Mini, Pez, BJ and Anasta.
Swap BJ for Tagive and in the forwards Symonds with Guerra and FPN with Bosden.
If Morts can't play 6 I'd also swap him with Taka. Friendy can play 80 minutes.
Monster pack and monster bench. We will win games through our forawrds this year because I don't think we have the creativity with Anasta at 5/8 nor the speed with the four mentioned.

as long as we have a team set up for round 29

I like it... good job... great debut

Nice article AK. My 2c:

Why they won't

Opposition teams will compress their defense to nullify the big roosters forwards, and without fear of the slow roosters backs running around them.

[stephenj]

good article, nice job!

[melon....]

Guerra for Simons. Taka for frank Paul.

[Guest]

Competition for spots in the forwards will definitely be tough, interesting to see who Smith names next week.

[Guest]

Good work.

Not sure about Symonds, however, if fully fit and full of confidence I could be persuaded.
