Surely with widdop finch and Blair all moving on for next season our back line will look a bit different!

1 slater
2 duffie
3 chambers
4 waqa (I think he would do a great job)
5 oneil
6 Hampton
7 cronk
8 j Bromwich
9 smith
10 noz
11 proctor
12 hoff
13 hinchy

14 vave
15 haris
16 garbutt
17 griffin

And also players pushing for spots;
Moors
K Bromwich
Rose ????
McLean
Glasby
Weston???

McLean is the now and future so I'd imagine he'll be in the top 17. He'd be in my team over Griffin. Outside back spot still up for grabs again. I think the only guaranteed spots are Chambers and Waqa. Also wouldn't mind seeing Hinchy drop back to the bench.

i do like those outside backs.

chambers has been electrifying this year compared to what we have seen in the past, defensively and offensively. that stint in rugby definitely paid off. I hope duffie hasnt lost anything due to his time off but having them paired up would definitely split defenders minds.

Same for juzzy and waqa, a very strong and quick pair on their day.

now i know stocks are limited at the moment but is anyone wondering how long noz can keep his starting spot? hes definitely in the best 17 although i cant see him keeping that spot unless there are some improvements to his game.

McLean is up and coming and is in our starting 17 now. I can't see how he wouldn't be in our starting 17 next year. I also don't think we need both Hinchy and Griffin in the same 17 ( unless Cam is not playing).

Not that I dislike that back five, but I just don't see Sisa playing centre for us (thats not to say that I doubt his ability to, just I doubt he'll be selected there) I've said it once, I'll say it again, give Tohu number 4! :P

Gone down a different route to most of the other posters by selecting Walker at five-eight but I do have high wraps on him. Will no doubt continue to make modifications to my team as our squad for 2014 becomes clearer.

Looks good Inglis#3... I personally wouldn't have O'Neill in the centres though. He has struggled when playing there. He makes poor defensive decisions (granted he was not aided by Widdop) and I think he lacks size (weight) to play one in.

Fantastic winger however.

Matt Duffie for center.

Was showing terrific promise there in the NSW cup in 2010.

I reckon Hunt will be outside the top 25 for those wanting to see him play, we may have 2nd tier issues again and not be able to give him a go first up a la weston this year.
