1. Billy Slater
2. Matt Duffie - send a text to Cooper Cronk, remind him your a high-jumper
3. Dane Nielsen - prefer him as a winger
4. Chase Stanley
5. Justin O'Neill

6. Gareth Widdop - my 2 concerns i) his vision but does have a very nice passing game  ii) his balls i.e. needs to be prepared to over-call Cooper Cronk. We are at our worst when Cooper has too many touches.

You can always tell a good team by their Bench.  This bench has great potential.

You guys are crazy if you think quinn wont be in the #5 next year, was our best player before injury and with such an inexperienced back line + his price tag, he will be there, this team isnt what i want but what i feel bellyache will go with.

Quinn should not be a starting winger. O'neill and duffie need to be there. Nielsen will obviously be one centre and chase needs the other spot. Chase is a star in the making. Quinn could be used like nightingale fr the dragons and run him from the bench as a utility but not for a starting wing spot. Besides, he's not worth the 300k and is overrated by a few people

Over rated? Before he got hurt he led slater and GI in runs, metres, tackle busts, line breaks and tries, great inside out defender with size and excellent ability to scoot out of our own red zone. Reliable finisher too. I think he gets treated abit rough by alot of storm fans.

Well said, especially in regards to this (the bolded stuff). DAMN, play the guy at Lock over Lowrie if need be, he can't be any worse after all...
