Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3087773, member: 1899"] They're not necessarily the line-ups I would go with, but it's just how I see these teams shaping up at this stage. What I like about this exercise is that it highlights areas where clubs need to improve and where some of the free agents may end up. I was surprised at how dire things are out at Penrith. I was under the impression that this year was a culture shock and they'd get their act together now that everybody is on the same page. However outside of Cleary, Kikau and to an extent Fisher-Harris hardly any of their players stick out. They look really skinny in the forwards, which is why I named Ellis because he's just about the only option they have in the middle (Hetherington is expected to sign with Canberra). Newcastle are the other team who appear to be in real dire straights. In truth I could have left the majority of the backline blank and really had to stretch to fill in the positions. For all this talk about Nathan Brown rebuilding the side, Adam O'Brien has his work cut out for him trying to fill in those blanks. A lot of the players I have there are far from impressive. Either a lot of players are in line for a promotion, or O'Brien is going to sign a bunch of free agents. One player who would make a ton of sense is Tetevano. Former Newcastle player, has ties with O'Brien from the Roosters and could potentially replace Ese'ese who has been shopped around. [/QUOTE]
