iiIIIIIITTTTT'S TIIIIME ! 2015 YART

[EagleRock40]

Why wouldn't Taufua be fit ?? he wasn't having any off season surgery AFAIK

As above, he is missing the 9's and most likely all trials. Without any footy, I highly doubt he'll be selected Round 1.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Cheers, wasn't aware of that. Hopefully he gets to start the year fully mended and back to his best.

 

[Ryan]

One thing I CAN say, is I work with one of The Sea Eagles cheerleaders, and she was speaking to Tooves on Australia Day - AT TRAINING. Tooves is really working the guys hard, and preparing for a massive tilt.

I have never been a big fan of him, but what I have to say, is that he is amping the energy and work ethic right up.

I found it much harder to leave JSL out of the top 17 then to have Burgess start back in reserves. He's a late transfer he can have a bit of practice at our plays before he really puts some heat on Vaves. Now we have the front row sorted. I say centre is our weakest possible spot if our big two get injuries. Don't like Blair as a centre he's too good on the wing. Hiku's an option with any position on the field. But I would love 2v to try Jorge there. He will have teething problems in defence in the twos, but wow he could be even better then Hurrell in attack.

 

[tajhay]

Chee Kam has been really hampered by injuries past few seasons hasnt he? Wasnt he touted as one of the up and coming stars a few years back in NRL circles? Really looking forward to seeing him play first grade.

 

[Fluffy]

I hope Leary and Chee Kam are both in the 17.
Vave won't see first grade all year IMO.

I hope you are right on Vave. He is our 5th or 6th ranked prop and if he spend the year in reserves it means that we have had a good year injury wise.

Compare that to last year where we finished 2nd in the qualifying rounds and Hasson played more than 50%, Vave is ahead of Hasson so we would be in a great position.

Good team Dan. Certainly a lot less handling errors in that side than when we had Choc!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Might be a bit flimsy in defence.

 

[Dan]

One great thing though is that it is a no-one man team

I think Vave is the 2015 version of Lauaki, everyone thinks big means good. Wow this guy is big, he has to be in the top 17. He wasn't a standout at Cronulla, but hopefully he has something to offer. Time will tell, we could certainly do with a bit of grunt up front to replace what we've lost over the last 2 years.

After getting monstered in the forwards by other bigger packs last season I think we all want someone with size and grunt this season . I don't think Lauaki and Vave is a fair comparison as Laulaki failed to play any nrl games with us last season and Vave played 15 nrl games with the Sharks in an injury riddled season
I have seen both play Lauaki in NSW cup and Vave in the nrl and from what I have seen a fit Vave will add to our top 17

 

[Fluffy]

At least Vave played a fair bit of NRL last year so he is in a better starting position.

Time will tell

This monstered thing I find strange, our injured pack was monstered but out fit pack beat souths and the dogs so its all a bit of political speak as we weren't monstored in the first half of the season.

The full season is made out of 2 halves and not one. Monsters (forwards ) also win the big final matches that count . So I don't find it strange at all how Souths monstered their way in to the Grand final

 

[Fluffy]

As you say the full season takes in the 2 halves, including the first where we didn't get monstered.

Any pack missing 5 players gets monstered.

With all the hailed recruitment done this year we will be in the same position come finals time if we are missing 5 players in the forwards. Take out Ballin, Buhrer, Mason Mateo and Symonds from this years pack and see how we go.

Round 5 V tigers when we got monstered with a full squad ie : starling , ballin , Lawerence ,choc . horo . beuhrer, Bench , lui , king, jsl, symmonds ,
Score 34 - 18 . Our supreme backs were given no platform to stretch their wings by our forwards as they scored a couple of consolations tries towards the end of the match . Check out the metres gained last season by opposition packs as compared to ours and you will see that we were at the bottom of the list . Any person with knowledge of the game will understand that our weakness last year was our forwards . 2v must be congratulated for getting the most out of forwards like KIng who was at the twilight of his career and past his best . Rookies in their first full nrl season like Starling and JSL unwanted players that other clubs cut like horo , symmonds and lui and lawerence . The only Three Established nrl forwards were Choc , Ballin and Beuhrer . Our backs are a different story . We have the best in the business

^ I choose not to remember that game..

I was at Leichhardt oval that day and saw our pack exposed to a pumped up monster tigers pack with the likes of Woods 194cm 109kg , Martin Taupau 190cm 111kg who tore us apart . The score at half time was 26 to 6 .

 

[robbiea]

I remember Woods had a massive game.(thanks a lot)
