It's kind of predictable what our finished team will look like.
People will go for what they're familiar with.
Hayward will probably be an inclusion most will agree on, but other recruits will struggle to get a jumper.
And fully fit with no injuries...it won't be a bad side.
There may be a sprinkling of newbies on the bench.

Our problems over the last few years have always been about fielding our best side.
It just hasn't been possible.
The only way it can realistically be achieved, without huge luck, is on paper (or screen)

But I suspect that what we finish with when this exercise is done will be very different to the side that actually takes the field against Sydney.
I expect all of Dean, Hayward, Ainsworth and Florent to be in the 23.
As well as Jagga Smith.

this government cant even control local machette thugs - you want them to stand up to trump.

ya dreamin.

You've got the governments mixed up again Shawny.  We have a Federal system with State and Territory Governments and the Commonwealth Government.  The latter has the misfortune of trying to deal with the lunatic in the USA.

My point was we have no politician remotely capable of standing up to a figure like Trump.

Albo nor that goose Rudd are not taken seriously by any country yet alone a super power.

I have mentioned in another thread that Sam Walsh’s father, Wayne, is my grandson’s woodwork teacher.  That’s not exactly right, he is his “design tech” teacher.

Anyway, the young fellow has just brought his design tech project home.  Superb design and precise woodwork.  Great work by the lad but well done Mr Walsh!

Wow! No hints on how he managed that?

I understand that shaving one's head can be an act of faith for Muslims but it's not obligatory (as opposed to not shaving beards).  Perhaps Adam has decided to revert to his natural appearance  :-\
Hope it won’t affect his aerodynamics 🤓

Robert Heatley Stand / Pick our team in parts - Part 3 - 6x Starting forwards- CHOOSE 6!

OK, so part 1+2 have given us a result, so time to move onto 3.

Assume EVERYONE is fit.

Pick 6 forwards, in position.

Ignore players who have already been picked midfield/backline

Current team has a hole in each group, which we will get back to later, but looks something like this....

FB - Cowan - Weitering - Newman
HB - Saad - Haynes - xxxxxxx
C - Walsh - Cripps - xxxxxxx
R - Pittonet - Cerra - Hewett

Have at it.

Just on Saad, he was playing injured about as much as charlie was.

There was plenty of times he got hit, stayed down, limped off, looked 'dead', but was back out their later, or the next week....only for it to happen again the next week.

Yep
There was that too.

@EB I'd also like to see Charleson get a few senior games this year. Started to win a fair bit of ball towards the end of the season
