Flicking through the thread couldn't see anything on this topic. So i was just wondering what your team for next year would be.

Personally i'de go with something likeSubs
14. Emmett
15. Widders
16. Orr
17. Walker

If the team lined up like that i would be worried. Dixon is a trier but isn't a super league centre now, a new centre is a top priority.

I don't think Owen would be ready at the start of the season either.

I think Jackson would get a place over Walker at the beginning of the year.

For me we look very light in second row and centre, I know we have stated there will be 2 players but I would prefer 3!
I am just worried if injuries come in, I feel Orr will play 7 n rangi 6 with McG n someone new in centre, gives us a bit more solid backline, despite goldys defensive frailties he would certainly provide his winger with plenty of ball due to his time in the halves! Shenton wasn't strong in that department although Evans could he was mostly injured to reap benefit of it

Mine would be:

1.Mathers
2.Owen
3.New Centre (Hopefully Keith/Monaghan)
4.McGoldrick
5.Youngquest
6.Chase
7.New HB/Orr
8.Emmitt
9.Milner
10.Huby
11.Ferres
12.Deano
13.Davies

Think TM's will be:

1.Mathers
2.Owen
3.New Centre
4.Arundel
5.Youngest
6.McGoldrick
7.Chase
8.Fozzard
9.Hudson
10.Huby
11.Ferres
12.Aspinwall
13.Widders

Dont think Owen will start or be ready for a while so reckon Dixon will get a start with Youngquest on the other wing with Jordan Thompson as back up.

As it stands now with the current squad i would go with this:-
1. Mathers
2. Dixon
3. Aspinwall
4. Mcgoldrick
5. Youngquest
6. Chase
7. Orr
8. Fozzard
9. Hudson
10. Jackson
11. Ferres
12. Snitch
13. Widders

14. Milner
15. Huby
16. Jones
17. Emmit

Theres still Owen to go into that team, but i dont know what is current fitness is, and would think we would bring in a new centre to partner Mcgoldrick and then Aspinwall can strengthen up the back row.
Also i dont know how much game time we will get out of Fozzard, he has been quite injury prone in the last few seasons so Walker could see a lot of action.

1. Mathers
2. Youngquest
3. Isa
4. Monaghan
5. Dixon (Owen if fit)
6. Chase
7. Orr
8. Huby
9. Hudson
10. Jackson
11. Snitch
12. Ferres
13. Widders

14. Milner/McGoldrick
15. Emmitt
16. Fozzard
17. Aspinwall

Gaslight, you do realise we only have one quota spot available don't you?

My team:

Mathers
Owen
Arundel
Dixon (unless we get someone else in)
Youngquest
McGoldrick
Chase
Huby
Hudson
Jackson
Snitch
Widders
Ferres

Orr
Walker
Fozzard
Aspinwall

The coaching staff aren't sure if he will play again.

Considering one's a prop and the other is an hooker/half-back, why not? Unless you were thinking of Adam Milner instead?

We've got a bit of depth in the forwards this year

Out of Huby Jackson Fozzard Emmit & Walker who would you drop?

Obviously not Huby as he was our best forward last year, Emmit played in the Grand Final, Fozzard brings some experience to the side and is steady. Jackson, solid and reliable. Walker, made some promising shots off the bench.

Personally I think TM will leave Walker out if we have a fully fit pack.

Owen won't be fit until April at the best so I can see Dixon on the wing.

Sorry, yea Milner

Walker and Fozz on the bench looks good. Impact props are like buses, none for years then 2 come along at once!

That's the thing. People say we are short in certain areas we do have the depth. If we have a look at the following list of where players can play:

FB: Mathers, Thompson, Owen, McGoldrick
W: Dixon, Youngquest, Owen, Thompson, Aspinwall.
C: Arundel, Dixon, Owen, Thompson, McGoldrick, Orange, Ferres, Aspinwall
SO: Chase, McGoldrick, Widders, Orr
SH: Chase, McGoldrick, Orr
P: Huby, Jackson, Fozzard, Emmitt, Walker, Snitch, Massey.
H: Hudson, Orr, Milner, Clark.
SR: Snitch, Widders, Ferres, Jones, Harris, Holmes, Aspinwall.
LF: Ferres, Davies, Aspinwall, Hudson.
