With Monaghan probably leaving:-

[Ryan]

My team for 2008 with what's left would be:-
(I'm considerring Beaver to have retired.)

01. Brett Stewart
02. Michael Robertson
03. Jamie Lyon
04. Steven Bell
05. Chris Hicks
06. Travis Burns
07. Matt Orford
08. Jason King
09. Matt Ballin
10. Brent Kite
11. Anthony Watmough
12. Greg Eastwood
13. Glenn Stewart

14. Steve Matai
15. George Rose
16. Glenn Hall
17. Feleti Mateo

You'd think we'd be cashed up with Monnas gone, Dunley gone & maybe Beaver retiring. The above team would do pretty well IMO.

I'd re-sign Willow, but he'd be in reggies barring injury.
Bryant would need to impress in Premier League, or won't be signed beyond 2008.

What's left?

When did we sign Mateo and Eastwood?

Good looking team though.

 

[Nutzcraw]

Ahh Frysie... let's just work with our roster mate until something is official.

It's simple.. if mona's goes.. Burns is utility.. ballin 9 and Lyon 6 with Matai in 4. IMO

 

[CliffyIsGod]

A decent-ish prop and a good backrower and we look strong still.

 

[Nutzcraw]

I dunno if beaver will retire either... i think this break will do him the world of good.. he'll come back firing and carve up at the back end of this year.. we'll win the premiership and he will feel on top of the world and ready to go again.. then we'll win next year to send him out a winner like he is.

I miss seeing him out there though 🙁

 

[Crushercleal]

That would be nice Ryan, but I don't give us much chance of landing Eastwood to be honest.

 

[Nutzcraw]

Eastwood won't leave brisbane.. hardly anyone leaves brisbane unless they are **** (except scott prince).

As CIG said.. we need a prop or two

Sorry mate - I meant left on the open market for trade.
Surely we could offer more to Eastwood than The Broncs can with who's leaving us.

What - are you saying that the walker boys were crap?

Luke Priddis is another one that Brisbane let go and regretted. They would have also preferred to keep Lote and Wendel as well.

I am sure that they are regretting losing Ballin.

 

[PEPSI]

god i cant think past tommorrow, im too pumped!

 

[fLIP]

Gotcha. I thought you meant what was left on the roster.

Honestly, if we were to pick up both those players, I wouldn't be complaining.

 

[Fluffy]

gonna be a long day at work pepsi, and im leaving early too

 

[Canteen Worker]

Not sure that Mateo would come to Manly to play on the bench.

I will wait until next Feb before I think much about this. Too much to enjoy whilst we are at the top of the table now~!
