Message: [QUOTE="Sirlee oldman, post: 2796150, member: 8915"] This is my updated prediction for our 17 in round 1. 1. Boyd 2. Oates 3. Roberts 4. Kahu 5. Mead 6. Milford 7. Hunt 8. Joe 9. Macca 10. Blair 11. Thaiday 12. Gillette 13. McGuire 14. Kodi 15. Sims 16. Glenn 17. Ese'ese I know it's a big call having Joe in ahead of Sims but I think he's been prepared for it and will do a solid job. It also suits the team balance better to have two experienced guys on the bench. The two inexperienced guys would be split up. Joe would be out there with the starting pack and Ese'ese would be out there with Sims and Glenn. The focus this year has to be on consistency both over the 80 minutes each game and over the season. We have the depth now to avoid the kind of slump that cost us a top 4 finish last year. Guys like Marshall, Opacic, Pearson, Moga, Dodds, TPJ, Arrow and Su'a could all come into the team when needed and do their job. The young guys in particular will have gained a lot of confidence from last year. We need to be consistent for 80 minutes each game as well though and for that to happen Wayne has to be confident enough in the bench to give them more time on the field. Too often last year our bench was under used and our main players looked gassed. I'm also not sure what will happen with Kodi. If he's to be groomed for the halfback spot next year then I would expect him to spend some time in the ISC and Marshall to be the bench utility. I don't have a clue when that might happen though. I honestly think we will finish top 4 and be premiership contenders this year. The halves will fire and Boyd will be a terrific captain that provides guidance to his players in the big moments rather than just leading by example and hoping that's enough. [/QUOTE]
