Some interesting calls does Moon keep 4 or switch to 6? Is Myler 6 or 7?
Will Golding keep the no1 shirt?
Personally id go with Myler 6 Lilley 7 Moon stays with 4 Golding keeps the no1 with Walker moving into the top 17 no wise.

Think you may not be far out. I think BM will reiterate that playing numbers don't necessarily indicate starting positions, it's up to the players to earn that, and that'll mean shirt numbers are fairly irrelevant with flexibility in the squad to see how it plays out.

looking at our squad for 2018, i actually think we are stronger than 207 or 2016. yes we have lost 2 greats, but both we past their best and certainly lacked consistency and had there share of injuries. they were both still capable of great performances (see McGuire grand final) but i think we have more options next year with Parcell and Dwyer at hooker, any half combination of But most l likely Moon, Myler, lilley, Sutcliffe then walker or Golding can cover and Aston if he is still here. forwards look stronger and more depth with Oledski and hopefully JJR and maybe even Cameron smith stepping up, Mullally improved out of site, Singo at last looking like a real pack leader, hopefully Galloway back from injury pretty soon. then the likes of Newman Alex Sutcliffe hopefully start pushing through.

Cuthbo Parcell Ward should be our leaders and are our main men now.

my main concerns are JJb as he gone on a season too far, Ferres not done anything since has been here, Delaney is he just too injury prone now.

thoughts?

Some very good cover throughout this year.

We lack an organizing half back, Myler isn't the answer. Break the bank and bring Mitchell Pearce over from the Roosters now that they have signed Cooper Cronk.

Agree about delaney. Glad JJB is staying. Yes he isn't 22 any more but a real leader in the dressing room if nothing else.
Ferrers may come good once fully fit and having lost a few pounds

I don't think so either. He will be decent in some regular games im sure bagging a few scores with his good support play and running game but i don't see a McGuire like GF performance anywhere in him, always seemed to go missing for wire in the big big games.

I think myler can tick plenty of boxes and still has his best years in front of him at 27, our offloading and off the cuff game is our strongest point so myler shut relish playing behind that style. he has plenty of pace not young burrow mcguire pace, but more pace than last 5 years mcguire. not a great organizer but not too shabby at it either, he should go well on the back of a strong pack not the weak pack he has had at catalans

i think we all know there is a very good player in there with Ferres just not seen it yet, so yeah a good injury free run and lose 5-6kg and hopefully he will get there. i do agree about JJb just hope we don't try and flog big minutes out of him, he clearly is a 20 minute spell type player like Kylie in his last couple of seasons.

I get all that and i very much agree with you, when the going is good for him he will go well for sure. But can he control a game when the stakes are high and the pressure cooker is on max? Because if/when the big games come around it will be all on him now as Moon is not there for his game managment. We will see, hopefully im proved wrong.

well we will see, personally i think he will prove to be a shrewd signing, a massively talents prospect 4-5 years ago who still has time to live up to his promise.

Anyone know much about Peteru? Is he another project type signing or will he be a regular first teamer?
