Tansey has realy impressed me at fullback and that where i see agar playing him,also think horne will be very good along side longy.

This is only about the 50th time this thread has popped up

Until we have finished our recruiting it's daft to name a side, we could easily make a signing who will feature in the first team and we could easily lose a player that people are not expecting to lose.

I am still not ruling out Brent Kite whose name was mentioned a few months back by a good source.

not sure tbh

cover at half back is a problem because if longs out can horne step up and lead the side around the park?

i'd guess that squad is a bit under the cap still and isn't good enough to win s/l so we'd have to sign a player who'd strengten the side, if a top centre became available i'd want us to strengthen the side but not to deny hall and tom briscoe. the same if tickle leaves if we signed another second rower it would be a bit of a slap in the face to burnett and hodgson.

Personally think a second halfback would help and give competition for places.

I think we need to give Hall, T.Briscoe, Burnett etc as much gametime as possible as i don't think they have looked out of place in a poor side so in a better side they in turn will look much better IMO. The whole point of franchise system is to promote youth.


Think we would be better giving our youngsters a couple of years eg like leeds persevered with burrow, jones buchanon etc to ensure the clubs long term future

Needs to go, we have Fitz who does the same job.

1000% better too.

And he's played for Tonga!

Tansey
Calderwood
Briscoe/Yeaman
Hall
Raynor
Horne
Long
Cusack
Berrigan
O'meley
Burnett
Fitzgibbon
Washbrook

Manu
Moa
Lauaki
Houghton

We have plenty of cover in the halves, there's washy and whiting to cover Horne and tansey and berrigan to cover long. More than adequate IMO.
