Sam Moa

I dunno if it's people discounting ability based on age. At least I don't anyhow.

I look at it as though we're having to go through a rebuild at the moment. I don't really want to go through it again in 3 years when the whole side turns 35 and retire.
 
Myles
Ballin
Moa/Tamou (IF either sign on)
Brown
Symonds
Buhrer

Api
Mateo
Jake
Starling/Lussick.

If our 2 new signings are myths, Jake T to start + Star/Lussick share bench spot.

Think Lawrence is done (unfortunately) north of 30 with a serious injury, also don't think he's got near his 2013 form. Developed a frustrating habit of stopping before the line on his drives during 2014 as well, so would have to cut that out to get in above Sao as my 18th man.

Big Ligi Sao fan, very much under the radar at the moment and the kid is just cracking on. Got a knock on in him and would also like a bit more size, but for his age, time is his ally and fancy him to have a very good career.
 
What is with the obsession on this site of age determining ability ?

Agree 100%

I'd understand if he was 32-33 but he is 29, he could still have 4-5 years in him

Look at Mason, J Smith, Galuvao, Scott

And talk of a rebuild??

We already have have middle aged aged forwards in place in Buhrer, Lussick, Starling, Symonds

And young guns in Trbojevic, Sao, Knight and Demetriou

If you take the Arsenal approach and continually look 5 years ahead you win nothing!

Keep an eye on the future and another on the next 2-3 years and Sam Moa will bring a lot to the table in that period
 
My 1st grade and NSW Cup teams for next year presuming we sign Moa, and yes I know T.Trbojevic has impressed everyone but I still think Gutherson deserves a shot first.

Sao the bench in NSW Cup?

Wow!

Subject to change, I should of wrote this is what I think the round 1 teams next year will look like, obviously performances will dictate who starts but Toovey/Barrett would probably be more incline to start starling and burgess first.
