My team for 2016

[HoldenV8]

FB - Brett Stewart (vc)
WG - Jorge Taufua
CE - Peta Hiku
CE - Steve Matai
WG - Tom Trbojevic
FE - Jamie Lyon (c)
HB - Daly Cherry-Evans
PR - Jake Trbojevic
HK - Api Koroisau
PR - Nate Myles
SR - Feleti Mateo
SR - Lewis Brown
LK - Jamie Buhrer

Reserves from:
Josh Starling, Brenton Lawrence, Darcy Lussick, Blake Leary, Tom Symonds, Jese Sene-Lafeo, Clint Gutherson, Tim Moltzen, Matt Ballin, Matt Parcell.

I think that Turbo Tommy and Gutho will fight for a wing spot, though with Gutho's injury Tommy has stolen a march on him. Gutho is a goal kicker though.....but I wonder how much kicking he's done while in rehab? Killer probably should play 5/8, though I'd be loath to move the games best centre out of position. However, I would be prepared to do so if it brought Tommy or Gutho into the side.

Barring injuries (and form), I can see players like Gutho, JSL, Moltzen, Parcell and maybe Matty Ballin spending a fair bit of time in the NSW Cup next year. And of those I think Gutho is probably going to be our left centre when Skivy retires.

I don't want Williame anywhere near FG next year ..... he is a DUD!!!!

Williame and Gutherson are the only other backs that we have signed for next year though.

Which Hunt have we got out in the backs?

I think we have Mike Hunt

I just don't think Hiku is fast enough for centre.

I just don't think Hiku is fast enough for centre.

We shall see under Barrett if he can whip him into shape.
