2012 Team Line-up

[hughzy]

1. slater
2.waqa ( adds alot more in attack than duffie. imo)
3.blair
4.neilson/fonu
5.oneil
6.widdop
7.cronk
8.bromwich
9.smith
10.norrie
11.manu
12.hoffy
13.proctor

14.hinchy
15.kostjayson
16.vave
17.tohu/kenny

that's without any more signings including greenfield .

i put fonu in neilsons position cause fonu is alot better in attack and would be like a spare backrower . runs straight and hard! and would help us out alot when were in our own half and need to get out. doubt fonu would get a spot though . years time and he will be a definite starter.

tbh .. for the bench i'd rather see hinchy then 2 big props and a second row, lock like tohu or kenny.

it would give us alot better go forward!
I've noticed most teams do that, have a hooker ( hinchy ) then 2 big props ( vave , greenfield/ afamasaga) then a backrow type a player like Harris , kenny ect.

I just hope we get some aggressive players or at least some size and athleticism.

vave will give us size and aggressiveness.

i think a bench of:

14.hinchy
15.vave
16.afamasaga
17. tohu/kenny

i reckon that would be a great bench. lots of size which is what we really need! doubt that would be the bench though.

i just noticed on the first page of 2011official thread + signing news thread it still has Stanley waqa there... i remember hearing that we signed him. were did he go? he would of turned into a great impact player off the bench?.

I've just read that Vave won the NSW Cup player's player award for the Sharks for 2011, good to see we're getting quality

[storming]

looks like vave is getting talked up a lot..... hope he lives up to it

[Mattpoet]

true, but, in a side that made a prelim, being voted the best by your peers is nothing to sneeze at

[mystormboys]

Do you think David will still be our assistant coach - wasn't he travelling from Melbourne to Sydney because his young family were still there? I loved Kevvy Walters I thought he brings great fun to our club

[Michael :P]

I reckon Vave is going to turn out to be one of our best signings ever.

In 2008 he was the NYC' best prop.

[STORM MAN]

If it was me i would start Norrie from the bench 2012 so he could come on and just play safe and get fast play the balls - I think we need a big game Prop to start along side bromwich. Q is WHO ?

i think we lost too much this year when bromwhich and norrie went off together, so i like the idea of 1 starting on the bench. so brom to start with vave? and im happy for j-lo to be on the bench with norrie. im sure everyone can see the massive improvement j-lo had throughout the year, after another off season i see him as being a good enforcer for us in 2012
