No announcement on the team till Mid Jan I'd say. Who do you guys think should be in there?
I have a feeling Cooper and Billy will play.
I think we'll see;
1. Slater / Mann
2. Duffie
3. Chambers
4. Fonua
5. Koroibete
6. Green
7. Cronk
8. McLean
9. Hinchcliffe
10. Kaufusi
11. Finucane
12. Harris
13. Solomona
14. Glasby
15. Kennar
16. Hampton
17. K.Bromwich
Thats the list I think we'll see. Proctor, Jesse will be rested. Jesse was outstanding in last years games that he did play.
Vunivalu or Robinson will probably get a run if Chambers is rested.

Lets just hope we start with a playmaker next year rather than the stupid idea of this year Chambers and Duffie as the playmakers.

I'd much rather us recruit some people off the street than risk any of our players on this circus with no real relevance.

Is it still one of the highest 4 paid players must play?

Would be nice to see. We do have a lot of wingers though so would like to see them get a run. I guess a couple minutes a game wouldn't hurt. Not sure if he'll agree but not hurting though lol

I'm thinking that too. Would like to see Nona though.

Geyer playing doesn't necessarily exclude Nona from playing.

Love Geyer but.....can't see the sense in playing him.
We should be using that comp to test our current contracted players. We have some uncertainties in our first 17 line up. Also blood some young guns. Bring on the 2015 season.

The only reason I can see for playing him is if we're resting most/all of our senior players and so we want him for a bit of leadership out there.
