Im my humble opinion the reason we have being s h i t e over the last few years is because of the coach, IF this coach is what I hope and expect he is we will finish top 5.

Lynch, Here, Seymour will seriously improve us.

The right edge looks average but we know that.

Does Houghton really lose his place as first choice Hooker with the arrival of Heremaia? Apart from that I am pretty fair with the rest.

Yes.

Wow, after such a solid season he looses his no.9 jersey. Jeez.

catalan, hudds. Probably even the dobbins

Swap Tickle and Westerman around and jobs a good un, hard to see where he will fit in but i'm sure Whiting will still play a fair share of the games.

So we could potentially have a right hand side attack/defence of aspinwall, martin and sharp. The top teams will be sheeting themselves

It's not about who starts RR.
Danny will be an integral part of our team next season.

Heremaia and Seymour know each others game.
Danny will be much more explosive not having to play 80.

If we get the Heremaia who played for the NZW last season then yes absolutely Aaron is a better player.

If Aspinwall comes of the bench he is likely to spell manu so he would play on the left not the right.

Whiting over Aspinwall.

Heremia has to earn the starting hooker IMO.

Good starting lineup, a few injuries and we could be in trouble, unless the kids step up.

So should Houghton & every other player at the club come to think of it.

McKinnon

Whiting
Martin
Yeaman
Briscoe

Horne
Seymour

O'Meley
Heremaia
Lynch

Tickle
Manu

Westerman

O'Carroll
Moa
Aspinwall
Houghton

No better than last year

Slightly better starting 17 than last year but much less depth in the forwards and we still have a $hite right hand side which will continue to be targetted.
