Quote Jambon="Jambon"I dont really know too much about Mr Gentle, he must be a good coach to be assistant of the national side. He must be upto date with his training methods, that said a monkey could coach Australia to beat us! None of the others mentioned really inspire me so would be very happy if we went for somebody of his calibre who might bring something different to our team.
Player wise, i think we really need two new halfs with top flight experience and let Wildie/Moore learn from them. Maybe another prop and all will depend on who we retain from the existing squad.
My team at the mo is looking along the lines of
Tongia
Fox
Mellars
Murphy
Johnson/Morton/George
A.N.Other / Wildie
A.N. Other / Moore
Wilkes/Hickey
Ellis/Davey
Masselot/Johnson
Lauititi
Southern
Howarth'"
As we stand at the moment....
1. Tongia
2. Fox
3. Murphy
4. George
5. Mellars
6. Wildie (Would have him at Scrum Half if a Good Playmaker Stand Off was recruited)
7. Moore
8. Wilkes
9. Ellis
10. P. Johnson
11. Southern
12. Mariano
13. Howarth
14. Tony
15. Hickey
16. Korkidas (I think we need to keep him!)
17. Lauititi
Think that looks a really good, useful and talented mathday 13.
Key SENIOR players to retain are Higgins, King, Henderson.
Would love to keep Rinaldi if he has not signed for Quins RL and Morrison.
Not bothered about retaining Smith, Griffin, G. Johnson.
