New Team for 2016 season

[Brothers manly]

Mateo and Symonds missing in action too much for mine and Mateo not fit.
Buhrer may not start season after injury then perhaps off the bench.

You

Do you think that back row might be a little small

It may be small, but its mobile which is what we need. Brown has proven to be a really good player on one edge, and I think Leary has shown this year that he could handle the other side. That then gives Buhrer the middle of the field, where he'll be able to use his mobility to hopefully make easy metres up the middle of the ruck off the quick play the balls that the big front rowers create. If one of them needs a break, you can bring on BJ/Starling to the front row and push Myles into the back row giving you the size.

After the rumours today of Tamou and suggestions from Gibbsy that Killer will be 5/8th the side might look like this:
1. Snake
2. Jorge
3. Hiku/Gutherson
4. Skivvy
5. Tom Turbo
6. Killer
7. DCE
8. Myles
9. Koroisau/Ballin
10. Tamou
11. Brown
12. Leary/T-Red/Mateo
13. Buhrer
14. Jake Turbo
15. Lussick
16. Lawrence
17. Sao/Starling

The Back Row covers for any injuries in the backs and the bench covers the back row. the others not named are there for depth. That is a premiership winning side IMHO.

YEP. It reads impressively. However, my worries are about how long Jamie has as a topliner.
Also, of course, injuries play a huge role in a team's success so every position needs to have a strong back-up player.

 

[Snake]

One thing's for sure, who ever steps out for the Eagles next year, I hope it's Geoff Toovey coaching them!

It won't be.

 

[Snake]

It won't be.

it's a shame cause he is a good coach but has had to contend with the fall-out and problems created by our former fractured board. This year I blame the injury toll and contract saga's on our ladder position. Anyway, that's just my opinion on the matter; I will stand by Tooves till the death!

 

[stoodamire]

From our confirmed signings i'd go

1) Stewart
2) Taufua
3) Lyon/Hiku/Gutherson
4) Matai
5) Hiku/Gutheron/Trbojevic
6) Lyon/Gutherson
7) DCE
8) Myles
9) Koroisau
10) Lawrence
11) Buhrer
12) Brown
13) Leary

14) Symonds
15) Trbojevic
16) Lussick
17) Mateo

 

[NewwyEagle]

1. Stewart
2. Taufua
3. Matai
4. Hiku
5. Trbojevic
6. Lyon/Gutherson
7. DCE
8. Lawrence
9. Koroisau
10. Tamou
11. Myles
12. Brown
13. Buhrer
INT
14. Trbojevic
15. Lussick
16. Sao/Moa (I'm dreaming)
17. Leary

With good coaching that is easily a top 4 team. So please, Fulton, get Tamou!

 

[Brothers manly]

Why is everyone keen on Brown, Leary, Buhrer in the back row.
They are midgets and will get run over by Rorters, Dogs, Souffs.
One yes, rest on bench.
How can we go after Lussick and then have him on the Bench.
Same with Jake T. He's been our best forward and most have him coming off the bench. Not me.
Also have said before Mateo and Symonds not good enough.
Funny no one mentions our starting no 13 this week?........Lui.

 

[Brothers manly]

I'd rather Lawrence and Buhrer ease their way back in after most of the season off.

I agree with you feathered friend We need powerful forwards to start the game and get us off to a good start and give us momentum and confidence . Size does matter in todays game

[Eagles2nv]

The game against the gummies showed it is really time for hiku at centre. Which means killer needs to switch to 5/8.

Agree. Defensively in the backs, that was close to our best effort this season.
Killer to 5/8 in place of Foran gets Tommy T in the game and Gutho back pushing whoever else!
